Mark Evanier, one of the biggest writing talents in TV, comic books, and blogging is writing a series of articles on the comic book industry, which – no surprise here – it turns out is very much like the TV biz as well.
Here’s Mark’s latest installment on the subject. (I couldn’t find all of the previous parts, but here’s one.)
Good advice about surviving in the mean streets of Hollywood during this difficult time.
This has been a wild year for our industry. Film production relies on the teamwork of hundreds, sometimes thousands of people, often physically in one tight space.
TVWriter™’s all-time favorite artist/philosopher, Grant Snider, makes a rare personal appearance – masked, of course – with a few words about his latest project.
“My amazing local bookstore, Watermark Books & Cafe, unveiled a new mural inspired by a comic from I WILL JUDGE YOU BY YOUR BOOKSHELF. Huge thanks to the people of Watermark Books for all their support! You can order signed copies of my books from Watermark here: https://www.watermarkbooks.com/books-wichita-illustratorauthor-grant-snider”….
For many, the 1950s is considered television’s “Golden Age.” But as far as I’m concerned, that era expanded in the 1960s and 1970s, during which time I was born and raised in my hometown of Rochester, New York.
As fate would have it, Rochester was one of the test market areas for TV Guide. Who knew, right? I certainly didn’t, not while I was reading and loving every page of the latest edition of that magazine, every week.
I very much looked forward to buying TV Guide every seven days. And I would run, not walk, but RUN to the corner store every end-of-summer to purchase the special, expanded FALL PREVIEW issue.
LB’S NOTE: TVWriter™’s all-time favorite artist/philosopher, Grant Snider, handles what may well be the biggest problem of our time, whether we’re writers or other creatives or accountants or, well, you name it’s. Thank you, dear Mr. Snider, for being so – dare I say it – fucking wise?
