Drawing Stuff

Still plowing through corrections on pages for Retail Therapy, actually. The correction process has proven as educational as the original drawing itself, if you can believe it. Some day, I hope to spell the details out for one and all.

Stay tuned...

Some Meanderings on Broadcasting

I've been helping out quietly on a volunteer basis with a new outfit on the web: PublicBroadcasting.ca. Not much really, just the banner's logo here, a couple of recommendations on other weblogs to add links to there...little things.

I have to admit that I do believe that little things can add up in a big and useful way, which is why I helped out. I think that CBC and other organizations of similar intent are worth maintaining as part of Canada. They contribute in a positive way, when allowed to do so.

If we didn't have CBC to kick around, we might not have had H²O last year, to name one example off the top. A good mini-series put together by Paul Gross, John Krizanc, Charles Binamé and a near-literal host of other talents. I just picked up the DVD set at the local Coles today(and my thanks to the staff there for helping me nail down that it was the DVD I wanted).

It still works a year later as a political SF drama, a thriller, a cautionary tragedy...and a good ripping yarn at heart. For me, at least. Plus, it shows off my hometown-by-choice in a way that it doesn't usually get the chance at.

Just a thought.

Back to comics shortly...

Cross-Cultural Amusement: From Mounties to Double-0 Agents

In this case, the other culture is British.

I am amused and pleased to note that Cst. Benton Fraser and James Bond AKA "007" now have something in common: Paul Haggis, creator of Due South.

This next film iteration of Casino Royale may be the first 007 movie I go see on the strength of the scriptwriter alone, never mind the acting talent.
