Does a bear kill in the woods? That's the question Patrick Horvath sets out to answer in his “Richard Scarry meets Dexter” opus Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, the subject of this year's very first Four-Color Flashback. The 2024 IDW series takes place in an idyllic world of anthropomorphic animals where not all is as it seems–the local hardware store owner, Samantha Strong, has a nasty habit of heading out to the city and slaughtering random passersby. That is, until another serial killer comes to her small town of Woodbrook, threatening the life she has carefully maintained for decades. Paul, Arlo, and Special Guest™ Eric Sipple discuss Horvath's deceptively simple cartooning, his brilliant use of panel layouts, the limits of the book's suburban satire, Hassane Otsmane-Elhaou's visionary lettering, and so much more. Plus, Arlo raves about Best Picture nominee Nickel Boys.   NEXT: we'll be back, someway, somehow.   BREAKDOWN 00:00:28  -  Intro / Guest 00:02:48  -  Banter and generally wasting time 00:08:44  -  Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees 01:35:47  -  Outro / Next   LINKS “Exclusive Interview: Patrick Horvath on BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES” by Christian Angeles, The Beat   MUSIC “Teddy Bear's Picnic” by Henry Hall, The Best Children's Songs & Stories (2014) “Where Did You Sleep Last Night” by Lead Belly, The Tradition Masters (2002)   GOBBLEDYCARES National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/  Abortion Funds in Every State: https://bit.ly/AbortionFundsTwitter Support AAPI communities and those affected by anti-Asian violence: https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/stop-aapi-hate Support the AAPI Civic Engagement Fund: https://aapifund.org/ Support Black Lives Matter and find anti-racism resources: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ The Trevor Project provides information and support to LGBTQ youth: thetrevorproject.org Trans Lifeline: https://translifeline.org/  National Center for Transgender Equality: transequality.org Advocate for writers who might be owed money due to discontinuance of royalties: https://www.writersmustbepaid.org/  Help teachers and classrooms in need: https://www.donorschoose.org/ Do your part to remove the burden of medical debt for individuals, families, and veterans: https://www.unduemedicaldebt.org/  Register to vote: https://vote.gov/

What's the punishment for drinking whole milk? Are you supposed to eat sand? And how do you get to Wrigley Field? We navigate through these questions and more as we watch Season 1, Episode 19 of Family Matters.Alex Diamond, David Kenny, and John McDaniel heard that the long-running network sitcom Family Matters ends with side character Steve Urkel going to space. And the best way to figure out how that happened - obviously - is to watch the last episode first and make our way backwards through nearly ten years of television.Join our countdown to number one (and our slow descent into madness) in all the places you expect internet people to be:Website: jumpingtheshuttle.spaceEmail: jumpingtheshuttle@gmail.comInstagram: @JumpingTheShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577Twitter: @JumpingShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577TikTok: @JumpingTheShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577Brought to you by Smooth My Balls

Alex and Zac tag-team to take on the one and only actor, Honda spokesperson, philanthropist, and soon-to-be-ex-pro wrestler John Cena. They start with a dazzling, if incomplete, list of Cena's accomplishments before moving on to the beginnings of his fascination with torture by British car; the formative influence of Matchbox cars in the mud and Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks and Things That Go; and the evolution from early East Coast hip-hop to the car-flaunting mainstream rap of the 2000s. Cena takes time out to demonstrate a perfect elevator pitch for the BaT model and community before diving back into the difference between Brock Lesner and a 2,000-pound supercar with 1,000 horsepower; the healthy balance struck in his relationship regarding car collecting and safety; humility as it relates to gratitude; finding the reward in running through the gears in his XK120, even without a turn in sight; the satisfaction of gauges arrayed across a wooden dash; a memorable first motorcycle experience followed by his brief residence in a Lincoln Continental; life lessons taught through two decades with his infamous un-Lambo; the difference between an intriguing car and one that just costs a lot; and finally, asking one's self the right questions about philanthropy.

Join us for an exciting episode of Reading with Your Kids as we dive into the wonderful world of children's books! We had the pleasure of chatting with three talented authors who are sharing their latest works and insights on engaging young readers. First up, we welcomed back the delightful Carrie Finison to discuss her new picture book, "Pigs Dig a Road." Carrie took us on a hilarious journey with a construction crew of pigs working to build a road to the county fair. We learned how Carrie drew inspiration from the iconic Richard Scarry books and made a conscious effort to feature a female pig as the leader of the pack. Carrie's passion for representation shines through, and she shared fascinating research on the intricacies of road building that will captivate young readers. Next, we met Kirsten Henry, a debut author whose picture book "Quieting Hazel's Heart" tackles the common challenge of separation anxiety. As an experienced early childhood educator, Kirsten provided valuable insights on the impact of the pandemic on children's social and emotional development. She offered practical tips for using her book as a tool to help families navigate the transition to preschool and beyond. Finally, we caught up with Greg Slomba, the author of the beloved "Deliverers" fantasy adventure series. Greg shared the journey of completing his four-book saga and his plans to explore new creative avenues, including a collection of uplifting short stories. We discussed the vibrant community of Connecticut authors and the importance of mutual support in the publishing world. Throughout our conversations, a common thread emerged - the power of storytelling to inspire, educate, and empower young minds. Join us as we celebrate these talented authors and their contributions to the world of children's literature. Happy reading!

Thanks so much to Kseniya for sharing her research with us and congrats on the awards your writing received. This topic is close to the hearts of many of our listeners and we would love to hear your experiences. I was thinking of many of you while we were recording. I appreciate this amazing thoughtful research and also would love to hear your personal stories if you are willing to share.

Don't let the episode title worry you, this homework doesn't suck.  Your only assignment this week is to listen to the mixtape and enjoy the fine selection of tracks from this free play!  "Building The House" from Richard Scarry's Busytown is a fun minimalist piece with snappy percussion.  "Injured" from Tecmo Super Bowl II: Special Edition makes great use of the Genesis' strengths

Julie Delrue speelde bij theatergezelschappen als Bronks en Studio Orka, acteerde o.a. in Chantal en Nonkels én staat momenteel op de planken met haar solovoorstelling Mamamanie.In Podlood vertelt ze openhartig over haar kraambedpsychose die bepaalde luikjes in haar hoofd opende, waardoor ze heel even hyperrealistisch kon tekenen. Ze brengt één van de tekeningen mee die ze maakte voor haar zussen en haar broer, toen ze na de dood van hun mama afstand moesten doen van hun ouderlijk huis en ik durf het amper in handen te nemen.We hebben het over tekenen tijdens moeilijke momenten, over de onbevangenheid van Oliver Jeffers en de link tussen zijn werk en dat van Julie, over Wim Opbrouck die elke dag tekent. Julie zingt het liedje dat haar zoon Bob onlangs bedacht en ik lees haar voor uit een stukje dat ik zeven jaar geleden schreef, nadat ik ‘De man, de vrouw en beer' had gezien, waarin Julie ‘de vrouw' speelt.Op het einde van deze aflevering tekent Julie een kerstboom in het Podlood-gastenboek en voorziet ze deze van een bijzonder passend onderschrift.Illustratoren en tekenaars die aan bod komen in deze aflevering: Oliver Jeffers, Randall Casaer, Wim Opbrouck, Richard Scarry en Rocio Alvarez.Meer Podlood?

Don't take candy from strangers. Did you ever ask your mom or dad, "Why?" Or were you too afraid? Were you already too good at actively imagining what those strangers would do with you once they got you in the van? Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees by Patrick Horvath brushes against that very particular dread, playing with your nostalgia and injecting grotesque horror into your picturesque youth. Sam the Bear appears as the ideal small-town neighbor. She runs the local hardware store. She has a kind word for everyone who walks through her doors. And sometimes, she makes trips to the city where she can slaughter a stranger and bury their parts in the woods. Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees smashes serial killer iconography with an impeccably illustrated children's tale. When people talk about this comic, they will mention Richard Scarry. They will mention Dexter. The comparisons are obvious and accurate, but Horvath creates something far more tantalizing than genre fusion. Brad wrote in his review that the comic would only work if both elements were executed flawlessly. Patrick Horvath melds both worlds masterfully, creating a fantastically looking realm where its fears are tangible and utterly relatable. Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees is easily the most enjoyably upsetting comic you'll read all year. In this week's episode, we chat with Horvath. Our conversation begins with colliding these disparate worlds before exploring our childhood encounters with stranger danger lore. We discuss what Sam the Bear sees in the woods and why it sparks an existential crisis in the reader, and we cover how the comic's final two pages upend everything. Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees #1 hits shops on October 18th from IDW Publishing. It's written and illustrated by Patrick Horvath, lettered by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, and features a variant cover by Riley Rossmo.

Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees - Release date October 18th   Jace is joined by cartoonist Patrick Horvath to talk about his upcoming title from IDW, Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees. Equal parts Dexter and Richard Scarry's Busy Town, the title explores some dark themes with gorgeous brightly colored art that is a fantastic contrast to the narrative. Listen in as Patrick shares some insights into his process, the inspirations for the series and his creative choices.

Working: What We Do All Day is a docu-series that explores both what it means to work and the ways in which the meaning of work is changing.  Presented by former US President Barack Obama, the docu-series focuses on people working in three different industries: technology, hospitality, and home care. Through him, we hear of their dreams, and their reality; their hopes, and their fears. Joining Matthew Sherwood to discuss Working: What We Do All Day is its director, Caroline Suh. Among other things, she reveals how President Obama became involved in the docu-series, the discoveries that she made in the making of it, and the rationale behind choosing the featured companies. Working: What We Do All Day is a multi-layered film. As Caroline tells Matthew, it enters the lives of people up and down the corporate ladder and seeks to find points of connection between them. In doing so, the docu-series challenges our tendency to do what Caroline admits she once did; that is, only think about the work she is doing now rather than the deeper meaning of it. To quote Barack Obama, ‘our work is one of the forces that connects us' to each other. Working: What We Do All Day helps demystify that force. In doing so, it brings us closer to one another. Find out what he means, learn about some of Matthew's dirtier jobs (!), and even Richard Scarry on this episode of Factual America! Watch the episode at https://factualamerica.com “... when someone does something incredibly well, no matter what it is, there's a beauty to it, and it reaffirms your faith in humanity.” – Caroline Suh

This week on BM, Brutus (Jenn) has gotten a striking, new, shit-kickin' hairdoo. It's the type a hairdoo that makes you wanna fling poop right into your neighbor's yard, over the fence. Next, more poop talk. Perhaps Edward is right about a certain group of 'guys' being poop mongers. Katie tells us what happened because Luke missed out on Saturday night Minecraft because he was driving all over the greater Grand Rapids area because of Jenn's bowling adventure - and missed out on defeating the Ender Dragon. Some friends came to visit from Beaver Island where there isn't Meijer or Internet and the kids go to school with 8 other children and they hate strangers. Luke got a new coffee mug. Edward has been Googling Taylor Swift almost daily and now his social feed is full of TayTay info, photos and videos. He's also trying to get tickets to the T-Swift concert. Katie thinks that Luke & Jenn should serve hors d'oeuvres on the cat's new litterbox enclosure and Edward vows not to eat anything from our house ever again. Boomers don't know what podcasts are. This week's super game isn't a game at all! We're celebrating March - the reading month - on April 17. We all have favorite childhood books and this week we discuss ours. Maybe you have some of the same favorite books as us. Maybe you don't. It doesn't really matter because this is our podcast and we're talking about the ones WE like :) We learn about a disorder that we're not allowed to call what it's always been called because Amelia Bedelia, we learn everything we need to know about everything (ever) from Richard Scarry, we learn how to not be a punk doormat loser from Grover on Sesame Street, Jenn loves weird old-timey sad stuff like Laura Ingalls and Beautiful Joe and other stuff about dead dogs and people. Katie has a VIEWER CHALLENGE: every month she received a non-fiction subscription publication about animals, and none of us can remember exactly what it is. If YOU know, or have any information on the monthly hardcover book with trading card - email the show at bubbmush@gmail.com or hit us up on Instagram @bubbmush - thanks for listening and enjoy!

It's our 250th Episode!! You know, when we first started this podcast we didn't really have a plan in terms of how long it might go. Nor did I lay out a carefully considered explanation from the start of which books we would do, and in what order. All we had was the premise, a catchy theme song, and an unending supply of titles to choose from. Case In Point: We have never done a Richard Scarry book before. Can you believe it? It's true though. You see Richard Scarry's best known books are (how shall I put this) incredibly long. We're talking, Moby Dick-long equivalent tomes. But 250 is a special number so we're dedicating it to a very special guy. Come for the turkey. Stay for the odd changes made between different editions of this book.

Co-host Garrett is back again—just when we had given him up for being more dead than Meatloaf. Special guest Carla from Burnt Korn, Alabama, hates it when people put fliers on her car window: “I came to get milk, not vinyl siding.” Team THN agrees! Of course, it would be kind of entertaining if you went to the local hardware store and some schmuck from Kroger stuck a “We got Milk!” flier on the windshield. Co-host Arik next lays down the gauntlet on Garrett. Once upon a time, Arik put the classic sitcom “Seinfeld” on the original Hate Napkin—thus inspiring a decade-long dispute on the worthiness of the show admittedly about nothing. What Arik despises most about the show is that it doesn't represent how adults actually talk. Sound engineer Pauly from Bali is quick to recognize that what Arik really hates are sitcoms. Arik next blathers with brainless references to “The Honeymooners,” porno Richard Scarry, Ricky Gervais, wedge-licking, Garry Shandling and whether or not Larry David is a vulgarian. Someone saves the day by declaring this The Bob Saget Tribute Show. This satisfies Arik—or at least shuts him up. In the end, Arik is outvoted about placing “Seinfeld” on The Hate Napkin. However, in a spirit of compromise, everyone votes to place the café from “Seinfeld” on The Hate Napkin, as well as the entire cast of “Friends,” except Lisa Kudrow. Carla counters: “Who cares? I'm a ‘Golden Girls' fan.” Finally, A Day in the Life of Garrett—which may or may not include references to NyQuil, death threats, blackouts, TSA double-sided dildos, blue balls and blue streaks, Michael Imperioli and a menagerie of furry critters. Definitely not a life about nothing. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thehatenapkin/support

I describe how children learn "book knowledge", how to foster literacy in the smallest "readers" before they ever read a word, and how to choose books to enhance their knowledge of pictures and text during reading. Some of my favorite books: The Napping House by Audrey Wood (Rich text) The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats (Rich text, action words) First 100 Words by Bright Baby (common pictures with text) Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See? by Bill Martin Jr (Rhyming) Please Baby Please by Spike Lee and Tonya Lewis (Rhyming, action words, can be used with sign) PeekaWho by Nina Laden (Rhyming, Flap Book) If you've read this far- there are a few other books I'd love to share! All children, even readers, love books with complex pictures and no text that have lots to look at. I would recommend these for children who are a little older and have the attention span to look at a busy page. Good Dog, Carl by Alexandra Day is a fabulous book in which the nanny dog takes his infant friend Madeline all over the city when her mother goes away. The illustrations are beautiful and there is a lot to talk about in each scene. Cars and Trucks and Things That Go by Richard Scarry also has a page full of pictures with lots going on- this one does have minimal text.

We review a book from The Busy World of Richard Scarry called "The Best Baby-Sitter Ever" by Richard Scarry.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Fullbird)
