Allow us to paraphrase The Big Lebowski: Research is the rug that ties the room together. What do you research? How do you start? What’s your damn process?!? In our humble opinion, it all starts with an IDEA. Ideas lead to research and research leads to more ideas. “When you steal from one author, it’s plagiarism; if you steal from many, it’s research.” – Wilson Mizner

The Shining: White man’s burden. This is such a superbly ghastly film, that each time we watch it, we find a deeper meaning. This time the “restroom” scene with Delbert Grady and Jack Torrance really slapped us in the face. After doing some digging online, I found an excellent “Scraps from the Loft” interview  with Stanley Kubrick’s co-writer, Diane Johnson. We’ll attempt to lay the groundwork for what makes the Overlook Hotel a haunted nightmare and whether or not the ghosts are real or all in Jack’s psychotic mind.

We also talk about Miguel’s imaginary youth, being raised by wolves and living on the moon. Things get strange.

We’ll introduce ourselves and give you an idea of what to expect. Working in comics (and the arts) is the most fantastically terrible career you can have. We’ve been independent comic creators for many years and know how to run a small business…while working “regular” jobs and raising kids. We love music, history, mythology, comics, weird science, art, movies and TV, and more. We always give our take.
