Comic conventions in Toronto, Hamilton, and Niagara, at which creators showcase their work, have been cancelled this year due to COVID-19. What does that mean for Ontario's comic-book writers and illustrators?

Welcome again to TMM… you know since there is so much love and unity in this country right now, both socially and politically, I think we’ll take a break from politics and news headlines.  Don’t worry… all of the toxic chaotic issues going on will be right there and waiting for you in less than half an hour… I promise.  They will not go away. I should never have waited a month to get to this interview with writer, performer, producer  Larry Dorf.  He has spent the recent past working on a very popular show on The Cartoon Networks Adult Swim called Mike Tyson Mysteries.  If you don’t know about this show, shame on you.  But you’re also in my 50 plus demographic so it’s to be expected.  You have to know about former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson even if you don’t follow sports. But back to Mike Tyson Mysteries… I’m sure you know about the Scooby Doo franchise… in fact we had the recent voice of Shaggy, Will Forte on the show a few weeks ago.  Imagine taking the concept of the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine… you know, the van?  Only instead of putting “mystery machine” on the side of the van you put Mike Tyson’s iconic face tattoo.  Instead of velma, you have Mike Tyson’s 15 year old adopted Korean daughter for which you create zero justification or backstory as to how he adopted a 15 year old Korean daughter.  Throw in an effeminate ghost who happens to dress in Dickensian wardrobe, add a sexist, womanizing, alcoholic pigeon voiced by Norm Macdonald and you have “Mike Tyson Mysteries.”  It’s a very funny and obviously odd show and you should check it out. We talk to Larry about writing on the show with his two partners Rachel Ramras and Hugh Davidson… who I’m pretty sure I can get on this prestigious podcast at some point.  We talk to Larry about how life has been for him and his family during the pandemic quarantine… or are we calling it a PLAN-demic now?  Isn’t that an adorable name?  I think so too!  We also talk about a trip Larry took with his associates to Comic Con one year in San Diego.  And if you just said to yourself “Comica… what?  What did he say?”  It’s Comic Con short for Comic Book Convention which includes all types of Animation… you know, for nerds and dorks.  Actually nerds and dorks like me.  By the way if you’ve never been to a comic book convention, you are missing out on some WONDERFUL people watching.  And by people watching I mean staring at freaks, nerds and geeks.  I mean they WANT you to stare at them.  It’s okay, go ahead.  I’m sure there’s one near you and you must put it on your bucket list.  It’s better than the freak show at the county fair, yet oddly similar. We start our conversation reminiscing about our performing days at the Groundlings Theater in Los Angles.  Larry liked to put up autographed head-shots of himself in the dressing area and I remind him of that… It’s an animated visit with Larry Dorf and a GREAT Mike Tyson Comic con story on TMM thanks for listening.

In this episode of THE WORLD'S GREATEST PODCAST, I come to you live from the back patio for the first time since Episode #97. Within these audio walls, I discuss Antonio Brown for the final time (see Browns In Our Blood S3E3 for part two of my thoughts on him) and whether his departure from the Raiders is his fault or Oakland's, I segue into some NFL talk and how much I enjoyed my first non-fantasy football Sunday in years, I recap my visit to the 2019 West Virginia Pop Culture and Comic Book Convention with Gary (WV PopCon), then I tell the tale of the time I met Wiz Khalifa and how he ultimately influenced my fashion decisions for years to come. And how I have to now give up those fashion decisions.

Still, I sit on the outside, way outside but sitting here like I am connected to the Matrix pulling in so much information and news from the truly exciting, to the what in the hell were they thinking about? There was so much put out that was interesting by many of the pop culture and comic book publishers from movies, to games, to toys and I plan on talking about a few of these things that piqued my curiosity. Comic Book Conventions no matter what the size always has so much to take in. Even when you go you have to pick and choose what you want see because you will never ever catch everything. So, even though I really want to go someday to SDCC this really may be the best way to enjoy the experience to absorb and understand the news being put out. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
