The Bat Prince: A Halloween Mini- Graphic Novel

It seems that I have become the chronicler of royalty, what with that very famous Thanksgiving classic, "The Turkey Prince" and now, with the immortal tale of "The Bat Prince"!

2015 Halloween Cartoon Countdown" Day 7

This is the last cartoon before actual Halloween and the epic mini-graphic novel. So I've added a few extra surprises. First, a new cartoon, for those who never grow out of the Halloween spirit:

Then these creepy Halloween decorations from around town:

 And this

And this cat in the cemetery

And trailers for two of my favorite ghost stories!"Portrait of Jennie"
and: "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir"

2015 Halloween Cartoon Countdown: Day 6

I am a fan of zombie movies (28 Days, 28 Days Later) and the Walking Dead (Daryl, Michonne, Rick) and so are these little kids, in theory, anyway:

Last night, my Friend of Friends, the Enabler, and I went to the Portsmouth Music Hall to see Lon Chaney's classic Phantom of the Opera on the big screen (I own 2 copies of it, but, hey, BIG SCREEN!) 

 







The movie was shown with a live accompaniment by the amazing Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys. They added a whole new layer to the silent Phantom with their score. Now I want a copy of the movie with their music! Here, via the miracle of Youtube  is a video of the band:

2015 Halloween Cartoon Countdown: Day 3

It's Day 3 of the Cartoon Countdown. We all remember the best houses to Trick-or-Treat at, as kids, don't we? And the houses to avoid, too! This is one for the people out there who give out the Milky Ways and the Twix Bars and all the great candy... the stuff kids actually like!

2015 Halloween Cartoon Countdown: Day 2

Here it is, Day 2 of the Cartoon Countdown. This is one from my archives that seemed to fit this year.

2015 Halloween Cartoon Countdown: Day 1

Halloween is a week away and in celebration of that I am doing a Cartoon Countdown which will end with a surprise mini-graphic novel! Some of these cartoons will be brand new and a couple are from my archive, so, starting off here is a brand new one!
