Show notes: In this episode I recall Nicki and my busy Saturday in the midsouth. First we drove up to east Memphis to be on 98.1 The Max's "Geek Tank Radio" show (Ep. 7.05.2025) with fellow geeks Joe Thordardson, Allan Gilbreath, Max, and guest geek and voice actor Scott J. Carroll. We talked toons and discussed the Mid-South Cartoonists Association and con community in the Memphis area. They put on the annual Memphis Comic and Fantasy Con which returns to the Memphis Hilton Hotel this November 1st. The MSCA will be set up at this one day event.After the recording session we jumped back in the car and headed up to Comics Universe in Jackson, TN to see our buddy Mike Norton. We had a great time talking with Mike and long time comic shop owner "Lethal Rethel" Miller. I got a few books signed by Mike including my copy of "The Rock Gods Of Jackson, TN". Norton's first issue of “Krypto: The Last Dog Of Krypton” has hit stores, and his Image Comics series “Revival” is now a live action TV series on SyFy! The show stars Melanie Scrofano from “Wynonna Earp”, and can be seen on the SyFy channel on Thursday nights, or streaming on Peacock and YouTube. And don't forget that there's still a little bit of time left to back Mike's new “Battlepug” book on Kickstarter. Mike will be back at the Memphis Comic Expo/DonnieCon in September, and I'll have a table at the show as well.Nicki and I stopped by The Cellar comic shop on our way home. I've got some sketchcards for sale there, and there are copies of the MSCA's “The Good, The Bad, And The Sketchy” zine available there, too.There's lots going on this weekend and I've got details including Thrill Comics' Ryan Ladner "Memphis VS Zombies" comic signing at Loots Collectibles, Good Groceries birthday sale, Abandoned Antiques collector show, ongoing MSCA art show at Playhouse On The Square, and the upcoming SatArtDays at Casey's Art Box.“Stay tooned” for more details!LINKS:Drawing Funny Podcast website – www.drawingfunny.comDrawing Funny Podcast on Spotify – www.podcasters.spotify.com/Drawing Funny Podcast on Apple – www.podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/drawing-funny/Mid-South Cartoonists Association/MSCA (Memphis, TN) – www.midsouthcartoonists.orgMy art website – www.linworkman.comGaribaldi's Pizza (U of M) – www.garibaldispizza.comMemphis Comic and Fantasy Con – www.memphiscfc.com/Geek Tank Radio – www.geektankradio.wordpress.com/Mike Norton – www.ihatemike.com“The Legendary Ladies Podcast” w/Tim Seely – www.thelegendaryladiespodcast.com/Memphis Sports & Event Center– www.themsec.com/Memphis Comic Expo/MCX – www.memphiscomicexpo.com/Comics Universe in Jackson, TN – www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61561815906384Casey's Art Box – www.roguesgallerymemphis.com/The Cellar Tabletop Games And Comics – www.comiccellaronline.com/Thrill Comics/"Memphis VS Zombies" – www.thrillcomics.com/Aaron B.

Go behind the scenes of SYFY's haunting new series Revival in this exclusive interview with showrunners Aaron B. Koontz and Luke Boyce. Adapted from Tim Seeley and Mike Norton's acclaimed Image Comics series, Revival isn't your typical zombie tale—instead, the dead return to life just as they were, sparking a chilling murder mystery in the heart of rural Wisconsin.Whether you're a longtime fan of the comics or new to the world of Revival, this episode offers an insider's look at the making of one of SYFY's most anticipated series—where every resident, living or undead, has secrets to keep and stories to tel
The Superhero Show Show #589Revival Series PremiereThe Superhero Show Show: The Revival Series Premiere Brings the Dead Back to LifeThis week on The Superhero Show Show, the hosts dive deep into the eerie, emotional, and grounded Revival Series Premiere—Episode 101, “Don't Tell Dad.” Based on the acclaimed Image Comics series by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton, Revival sets its story in a small Wisconsin town where the dead mysteriously return to life. The panel breaks down the show's tone, complex family dynamics, and how this premiere redefines the supernatural mystery genre.Welcome to Wausau: When the Dead Walk (and Talk)From the opening moments, the hosts explain what sets the Revival Series Premiere apart from typical undead narratives. Rather than relying on gore or horror, “Don't Tell Dad” focuses on slow-building tension and personal stakes. The discussion highlights the show's restraint and how Revivers don't return as monsters—they come back nearly unchanged, creating an unsettling emotional ambiguity.They focus on Dana Cypress, the sheriff's deputy, and her younger sister Emme—who has secretly become one of the Revivers. Dana's investigation and discovery of Emme's return unfold with a quiet intensity. The hosts draw comparisons to Twin Peaks and Fargo, applauding the show's ability to blend murder, mystery, and small-town drama.Emotional Stakes and Subtle HorrorThe conversation turns to the episode's character-driven storytelling. One host praises the decision to avoid genre clichés and instead examine themes like grief, faith, and identity. Dana faces the growing pressure of protecting her sister while trying to solve an impossible mystery. Meanwhile, other Revivers begin appearing—and some are far less stable.The title, “Don't Tell Dad,” spurs speculation about hidden family secrets. What are the sisters concealing? Why does their father need to be kept in the dark? These questions elevate the emotional stakes and reinforce how Revival is more about relationships than jump scares. By the episode's end, the hosts agree that the show builds a believable world haunted by the impossible.Also This Week: Resident Alien Returns with “Prisoners”The second segment shifts to Resident Alien Season 4, Episode 1, “Prisoners.” The team is excited for the return of the galaxy's grumpiest doctor—though this time, he's locked up by government agents. Even behind bars, Harry's trademark deadpan humor is intact as he plots his next move.The hosts praise the show's continued balance of slapstick comedy and suspenseful sci-fi. They reflect on how Resident Alien keeps evolving while staying rooted in heartfelt character arcs. Asta's development gets particular attention, especially now that she's confronting major alien secrets alone.Speculation runs wild on what this season might hold. Will Earth finally face a true alien invasion? Can Harry stay hidden? Naturally, there's also a lighthearted debate over Alan Tudyk's comedic genius and whether he'd beat Paul Rudd in a charm contest.Final Thoughts on the Revival Series PremiereIn their wrap-up, the hosts return to Revival to emphasize its strong debut. The Revival Series Premiere successfully avoids horror clichés by anchoring its mystery in layered characters and rich emotional stakes. It promises a series full of tension, dread, and intrigue without sacrificing authenticity.By pairing Revival with the return of Resident Alien, this week's podcast delivers a genre-rich double feature—one steeped

Show notes: On this episode I do a few interviews with some of the Mid-South Cartoonists Association members. I recorded at their March monthly dinner gathering at Garibaldi's Pizza- first I talked with That Katie Jones about The Rogue's Gallery at Centerpoint Toys & Games. and then I caught up with MSCA prez Kevin L. Williams about art goings on around the M-town, including a special "shocking" announcement of a new MSCA art show at Germantown Community Theatre.The MSCA meets at the Garibaldi's U of M location on the first Tuesday of each month from 6-8pm. The next gathering is on Tuesday, April 1st! The meet-ups are free and open to the public, but be sure to bring a few bucks to order off the menu and some art to show around.The following night after work I stopped by 901 Games to discuss Con Cards with the card game's creator (and longtime MSCA and NCS member), Greg Cravens. Greg can be found there on the first Wednesday of the month at 6pm, and can be spotted at many local conventions selling Con Cards and teaching event attendees how to play the game. A new MSCA expansion deck is in the works!In the news section at the end of the episode I fill you in on some S/uper news about our long time friend Mike Norton's new "Krypto The Super-Dog" comic series and his recent Comic Geek Speak podcast appearance on episode 1997.

In 1969, Mr. Rogers went before the US Senate Commerce Committee to request funds to support the growth of Public Broadcasting. His heartwarming request is often remembered as a pivotal moment in American television history, highlighting the importance of educational programming that serves the public good. Today, that mission endures, and Mike Norton and his team at PBS continue to honor it in their own way -- by stretching every public dollar as far as it can go. In a world where resources are finite but the demand for quality, accessible content is ever-growing, these engineers work behind the scenes to maximize efficiency, leverage innovative technologies, and make every penny count... for viewers like you.

It's Archie Andrews like you've never seen him before in Archie is Mr. Justice out November 20th and artist Mike Norton returns to the podcast and joins Jimmy to talk about this new 4-part limited series. Mike talks about what it's like playing in the Archie sandbox, getting to draw things that he hasn't seen in an Archie comic before, and the fun of Jughead's role in this series. Mike also talks about the kinds of comics that still excite him when he gets to work on them and gives some hints as to when fans can expect more Battlepug. This is a great conversation that probably would have gone longer if it wasn't for the fact that Jimmy came directly from the Randy J. Holland Inn of Court Chili Cook-off where he ate 15 cups of chili, one from each competitor. Mike is a fantastic artist and guest, so give this a listen and be sure to pick up a copy of Archie is Mr. Justice #1 from your LCS. Check out the series on PREVIEWSworld here: https://previewsworld.com/Catalog/SEP241126 or on the Archie Comics website here: https://store.archiecomics.com/collections/new-release/products/archie-is-mr-justice-1-of-4?variant=41248697450590. From the publisher BRAND NEW 4-PART ARCHIE PREMIUM EVENT LIMITED SERIES! Young Archie Andrews is your typical teenager, except for the fact that he has super powers and an undying urge to do what's right, inspiring his super hero persona, “Mr. Justice.” Guiding Archie on the path of heroism is his best friend Jughead. The pair aim to right the wrongs of the greedy Hiram Lodge, who turned their tranquil hometown of Riverdale into a luxury city, forcing families out, and big businesses in. Can Archie's brand of justice bring Riverdale into a new prosperous era, or will his need to do good ultimately be his downfall? This is truly a love letter to THE BEST of Archie, for fans of series like Whatever Happened to the Man or Tomorrow? and Invincible. PATREON We have a new Patreon, CryptidCreatorCornerpod.

There are still a few more avenues into the past that will allow it to destroy the human resistance that is poised to smash its processors into silicon shrapnel - it just needs to expand its theater of operations. Opening a new front in the war, Terminators are dispatched across the globe and throughout time to target current resistance fighters, their ancestors, and anyone else unlucky enough to be in the strike zones.
