My Cage "Classic" 10/16/2009
Added 2023-04-14 11:02:13 +0000 UTCAgain, originally I wanted the characters to be more naturally colored. The syndicate wanted them to be multi-colored because....(sigh)...they thought there were going to be toys made of the characters eventually, and the colors would help them stand out on the shelves. (sigh) :(
QotD: If you could create a "Mount Rushmore" for something you enjoy, what would it be for, and what 4 people would be on it?

The developement of all these things has kept me warm and happy. (Speaking of printing presses, I just today received my copy of "My Cage, Year One., from Amazon They said it was their last copy.)

2023-04-14 21:06:52 +0000 UTCIt would be for the people who enriched my life and creativity...the first two are easy: Alfred Hitchcock and Walt Disney, the two greatest filmmakers of the 20th century. (Hitchock's face is already up there on the "North by Northwest" movie poster.) I truly believe their work will survive the centuries; people will be watching their films centuries from now, the same way Shakespeare is still read and performed. The last two are trickier; can I squeeze all four Beatles onto one head? But for that last head I'd choose underground cartoonist Robert Crumb. PS: I'd love a plush Norm (with a frustrated look on his face!)

2023-04-14 15:34:29 +0000 UTCNo Rushmore for me. Ecological and cultural controversy aside, I'm reluctant to honor anybody after all the times my heroes proved unworthy. And when I do think someone merits positive attention, I'd rather give it individually, not to a whole group at once.

2023-04-14 14:46:19 +0000 UTCI don't blame the syndicate for that. Maybe I'm biased by initial experience, but I think all-natural colors on the MC cast would look relatively boring.
