Podcasts about Wizzywig

Ed Piskor døde ved selvmord 1. april i år. Vi markerer hans bortgang ved en læsning af hans hovedværk Hip Hop Family Tree – en dokumentarisk fortælling om hip hop-kulturens og -musikkens opståen og tidlige udvikling i New York og hinsides, der sammenfletter fakta og mytologi, det dokumenterede og det forestillede. Det gør vi i fællesskab med hip hop-historiker Peter Trier Aagard, alias PTA.   Vi undersøger, hvad det er for et portræt at hip hop-kulturen og dens nøgleaktører, som Piskor tegner i den desværre uafsluttede serie på fire bind, der udkom mellem 2012 og 2016. Vi analyserer, de rekonstruktioner af halvfjerdsernes Bronx, han tegner frem, hvordan hans kærlighed til kulturen men også hans generelle nørdethed informerer det samlede billede. Vi analyserer udvalgte sekvenser—først og fremmest den legendariske battle mellem Busy Bee Starski og Kool Moe Dee i december 1981 – for at forstå, hvordan han i tegneserieform iscenesætter musikken og menneskene bag.   Og så opridser vi samtidig et portræt af Piskor selv og hans intense, tragisk afsluttede tyveårige karriere. Vi runder opvæksten i Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania og hans tidlige samarbejde med undergrundslegenden Harvey Pekar og berører kort hans egne større arbejder, fra Wizzywig (2009–11) over X-Men Grand Design (2018–19) til Red Room (2021–24) og ikke mindst YouTube-kanalen Cartoonist Kayfabe, der gjorde ham og kollegaen Jim Rugg til household names i den globale tegneseriekultur. Vi når også omkring hans tid som underviser på The Animation Workshop i Viborg via input fra studieleder på Grafisk fortælling Peter Dyring Olsen.   Til sidst diskuterer vi også de anklager om krænkende adfærd fra to unge kvinder, der tidligere i år førte til en shitstorm på sociale medier, der tydeligvis påvirkede hans beslutning om at tage sit eget liv. Vores påstand er – tragedien og dens årsager uanset – at værket, og særligt Hip Hop Family Tree, står tilbage som et blivende, vitalt udsagn om en subkultur, der er blevet global massekultur.

EPISODE 60Greetings, Explorers! For our sixtieth episode, the gang takes a look at Wizzywig. Ed Piskor wrote and illustrated the story. Top Shelf Comics published the story in 2011. Wizzywig tells the story of phone phreak-turned-hacker Kevin “Boingthump” Phenicle. Starting as a child prodigy with a curious mind, he spends his life fascinated with finding ways to game the system. Eventually his activities draw the attention of the FBI, leading Phenicle to becoming a fugitive from the law. Finally, “Boingthump” is a blend of legendary real-life hackers Kevin Mitnick, Kevin Poulsen, and Joe Engressia.Dennis, Johnny, and special guest Brian begin the episode by chatting about Ed Piskor's YouTube Channel, Cartoonist Kayfabe. Furthermore, they compare how the story parallels to the lives of Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden. Also, they discuss the overall character design of Kevin “Boingthump” Phenicle by Ed Piskor compared to the other more “realistic” characters in the story. Is the character's design made to reflect innocence, the world around him, or both?The gang discusses the history of hacking, including its origins in phone phreaking. This would include the likes of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, who sold Blue Boxes from the trunks of their cars. Further topics include if justice was actually served or not by the prosecution of Phenicle; the way “Boingthump” finally realizes the consequences of his actions; and last, but not least, the storytelling and art of Wizzywig.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/graphicnovelexplorersclub/message See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We caught up with him after a busy month of promotional activity for the new book, including stops at Miami Book Fair, Chicago Ideas Week, Brooklyn Book Fair, and the Small Press Expo.

This is episode 7 of Boing Boing's, Tell Me Something I Don't Know. It's an interview podcast featuring artists, writers, filmmakers, and other creative people discussing their work, ideas, and the reality/business side of how they do what they do. Jeff Smith began writing, drawing, and publishing Bone in 1991, through his company, Cartoon Books. He championed self-publishing in the 1990s with other independent cartoonists known as the Spirits of Independents and continues to self-publish through Cartoon Book. Since 1991, Bone has become a world-wide phenomenon, published in nearly 30 languages. In 2005, Scholastic reissued Bone in color through their Graphix imprint, inspiring an entire generation of young cartoonists who found his work through traditional book stores, comic book shops, schools, and libraries. He followed the Tolkien-esque, Bone, with Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil (DC Comics) and RASL (Cartoon Books) - a sci-fi noir about a dimension-hopping art thief.
