Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (00:11):
Kaboom.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (00:12):
Welcome to another episode, Kaboom episode of the Oz Comic Show. I’m Shane and this is Morgan. I’m getting the pointing direction,

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (00:21):
Correct? Nope, that way. Yep, you got it right. Hey,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (00:25):
Hey, and tonight we are talking to Duncan Pius, the creator of Bin Kitty, so let’s get this show on the road so we can talk to him.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (00:55):
Hey. Hey, there he is.

Duncan Pranevicius (00:58):
How’s it going?

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (00:59):
How you going dude? Welcome.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:02):
Hello. Welcome to the O Comic Show. Thank you.

Duncan Pranevicius (01:05):
Thank you very much.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (01:07):
All right, well we’re just going to get right into it. No mucking around, no funny business. We’re just going to get straight into it. Question number one, right? What’s it like having hair? Is it as cool as I remember? Question number one, it’s

Duncan Pranevicius (01:24):
It’s bli like you can’t imagine. It’s like waking up every day spun in gold.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (01:31):
Oh man. If only every time I see you on the screen it just makes me cry a little bit inside

Duncan Pranevicius (01:38):
And thanks. If I ever have any kind of an accident or anything and I have to lose this, I’ll make sure to send it to you.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (01:44):
Fantastic. Weave it. I’m going to get donated hair. That’s fantastic. Very good. Okay, cool. Thank you. Sorry, that was just my own

Duncan Pranevicius (01:51):
No, that that’s fine.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (01:53):
Weary. So we might do something a bit unusual for this show and actually start at the beginning. So tell us a little bit about how you got into comics. Were you young? Did you read a lot of comics when you were young? Was it something when you were a bit older? What was your sort of journey with comics and drawing and that sort of stuff?

Duncan Pranevicius (02:18):
Drawing itself, I’ve kind of drawn pretty much as long as I can remember. Yes. This is what I picked this shirt for you Peter.

(02:30)
My mom used to draw a lot and she was really, really talented and so she pretty much got me drawing and it’s kind of thing I’ve done all my life. I never really stopped doing it and comics are kind of off and on a lot. When I was a little kid I used to watch because it was like the gold age of all the animated series, like Batman and X-Men, so you search a lot of those and then I got some comics. I got some really just random ones that my dad I think just found in shops and stuff, so I just remember having a Shadow Hawk comic and one cable and the next man and a Hulk, just random ones that we found. We didn’t have a lot of money or anything, so I just got pretty much what my dad could find to get this.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (03:19):
Oh yeah,

Duncan Pranevicius (03:20):
Cool. Then

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (03:23):
Hey Dan,

Duncan Pranevicius (03:25):
That was younger childhood and then getting into teen years and into the twenties, discovered anime and manga and moved more less in the western comics and more into manga. I think for a larger part of my life it’s been more of a mango influence than Western comics, even though I still love Western comics. I’m a huge fan of the Punisher in particular.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (03:48):
Oh nice.

Duncan Pranevicius (03:49):
Yeah. Cool. I have the entire max run from Garth Ennis and the second max run a whole little punish yourself actually going on there with a bunch.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (04:02):
Nice.

Duncan Pranevicius (04:05):
Yeah, since late teens it’s been mostly manga has been my biggest influence

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (04:13):
And obviously, well not obviously for those that don’t know, but starting to move into Bin Kitty and that sort of area, A lot of black and white but with splashes of colour, which I suppose is quite a manga esque kind of thing. So what style are you attracted to? I suppose what I’m getting at is that the artwork has a particular kind of style that you do. It’s a little bit aesthetic, I suppose that’s the word You could tell I was trying to find a word and I just kept saying style. That wasn’t the word aesthetic. Very good. You can take it from here. Aesthetic, tell us about that.

Duncan Pranevicius (05:02):
The feds been the iron chic tonight. Yeah, the mango aesthetics really big obviously with being Kitty with the black and white and the zipper tone and whatnot, but actually I kind of ripped off a lot of the Bin Kitty aesthetics from a comic called Kill Audio. There’s a band that exists called Coherent Cambria and their singer makes comic books and the band had themselves have comic books.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (05:30):
I know the band, I totally totally know the band. Yes, they’re insane.

Duncan Pranevicius (05:37):
The whole story of the band. Thank you.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (05:45):
The Speechless.

Duncan Pranevicius (05:46):
The whole story of the band is based around comic books and their singer Claudio makes comics and one of the ones he made is called Kill Audio and it’s all in black and white and red and I love that so much that I kind of ripped off the aesthetic ity. If anyone finds kill audio you should track it down because it’s really, really good boom studio. Oh cool. Yeah,

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (06:11):
I’m searching for it. Okay. No, do it live. It’s fine. That one there,

Duncan Pranevicius (06:17):
It’s all music related too, so you’d like that.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (06:21):
See, this is the thing, this is one of the few things where I got a reference that a guest made to a thing that I have listened to and I understand it’s amazing on the same page.

Duncan Pranevicius (06:35):
I think you’d appreciate it because a lot of the comic is based around music and the characters based on music genres and yeah, so it’s very music theme, music and comics.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (06:46):
Sweet.

Duncan Pranevicius (06:46):
Get

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (06:46):
On that. Music and comics. We need a new show, Shane. It’s called Music and Music and Comics. Comics, yeah. Nice.

Duncan Pranevicius (06:53):
Hurry up Shane.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (06:55):
Music and comment. See what I can do.

Duncan Pranevicius (06:57):
Yeah, thank you music and

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (06:57):
Comment, see what you can do. Find some time, put it together, it’ll be fine. We’ll be

Duncan Pranevicius (07:03):
Good’s a bit more sleep.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (07:06):
Sleep that sleep is for the week. Sleep is the thing you hear other people talking about Shane, it’s not for you, you don’t need it. Not for me. It’s not my type of thing. Alright, so beautiful man. Let’s get to the number thing. So why don’t you tell us a bit about Bin Kitty and where the idea came from and what you want to tell us about the story without sort of giving too much away.

Duncan Pranevicius (07:33):
Ben Kitty kind of started as a joke actually my partner who is in front of me at the moment has a cat now. She has two cats but one in particular have taken a shine to is named Biddy and she’s kind of really, really dumb.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (07:55):
We

Duncan Pranevicius (07:55):
Just generally make up these bizarre stories about her. She goes to France and she has two husbands and they use her to get a green card and she really likes sausage rolls and she has cottages and she’s a foot model and god knows what else and for a period we were making funny little comics about the cat and things she does and one of them, she’s getting all existential about her poos and another one is just like, I think I did three pages of her trying to call out to the rest of the family to hurry up and come on because funny farm’s about to come on the telly, come on, you’re going to miss it,

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (08:41):
Hurry up.

Duncan Pranevicius (08:44):
And then I was going to do another one just basically just for a laugh. I was trying, I going to make a really weird, it’s going to make a weird noir cop type story with the cat and just put her in there and I thought of Sin City but with the cat and what rhymes with Sin City been Kitty.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (09:11):
You kidding? Oh man, that’s awesome.

Duncan Pranevicius (09:15):
Pretty much from that small idea I started, I did it then it’s sort of working on and getting ideas. I’m like I can actually make this a thing. I can start working on this and I’ve got ideas for it. And that was about 2019. Exactly, yes, Zach, Zach knows about that as well. I started adding to it and just yeah, over time it has grown to a really big thing from a joke to something I’m kind of really deadly serious about and I’m kind of putting a lot of my own life and stuff into a lot of my own business into it. But yeah, it’s kind of started as a joke basically.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (10:02):
That is really cool and I love the rhyming with Sin City because straight away, as soon as you say that I think yeah, that’s exactly the vibe I get from it is the Sin City vibe. Tony Men the only

Duncan Pranevicius (10:13):
Person that’s said that and I didn’t even tell him. He is like the bin Kitty rhymes with Sin City. I’m like, yeah, it does it. Someone’s picked up on it.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (10:24):
Wow, that is really cool. I do also, one of the things I like about the book and the series and the world is exactly what you were sort of saying there that it should be silly but it’s deadly serious. It’s a cat but everything in there is like it’s high stakes and there’s blood and drama and it has that real noir sort of gritty vibe which makes it even better and it’s got this kind of absurd twist to it, but you have to take it seriously. It’s like a serious story to hear that it came from a slightly dimwitted cat is hilarious but I’m sure Beautiful Cat, I’m sure. Wonderful, beautiful. She looks like Foot,

Duncan Pranevicius (11:16):
She looks like a,

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (11:20):
You now need to do a series about a cat that looks like a foot and that’s the whole thing. That’s its gift.

Duncan Pranevicius (11:27):
It looks like a drop kick. Potato

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (11:30):
Legs, God redeem. So let’s talk a bit about Kitty of the bin if you will. The main character.

Duncan Pranevicius (11:42):
We just call it Bin Kitty because technically she doesn’t have a name

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (11:45):
Bin Kitty. Okay, well that was going to be one of my questions. What’s Sandra? Jessica, whatever it might be.

Duncan Pranevicius (11:51):
You can call her

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (11:54):
Bitty. Bitty makes sense bitty. There you go. So I was going to ask, tell us a bit about her as a character, not the real life inspiration but not the foot, but the character and how you’ve sort of crafted that, what you like about that sort of character, basically what your heroic character has in their kind of makeup.

Duncan Pranevicius (12:21):
I mean I don’t think she’s that much of a heroic character basically. I mean the best thing I really like about her, the thing that really interests me and keeps me going is just how much mystery is sort of woven into the character with the story. We know reading it as much as she knows about the world and who she is basically. Yeah, it’s cool when you read issue one, she’s woken up, she’s got a bullet wound through her forehead. She doesn’t know who she’s, she has no memory of anything and there’s a dead body next to her. It’s as much as we know and we’re pretty much taken on this journey with her to find out who she is and there’s a lot of in there and then she does things that she doesn’t know she can do or why she can do these things. She doesn’t realise that she can go into these, I guess trances where she can do some pretty psychotic things and then snap back out of it, which everyone will find out when the series eventually ends. And there’s only three people in the world right now, not including myself, who actually knows how this series is going to end.

(13:38)
Is that right? Shane knows.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (13:40):
I know. Don’t say anything bursting. No, it’s okay. So again, without giving too much away, how deep does the story go? How big do you want to make it? How?

Duncan Pranevicius (13:57):
I mean it goes deep and big enough that I don’t know how many issues are in it. I’ve got the beginning, I’ve got the end and I’ve got a general points of where I want to go in between, but how long those points go, I’m not entirely sure yet in the grand scheme of things, not giving anything away because I’m pretty open with this and this actually is said in the side story in presents an or which is sort of set in the middle of Ben Kitty’s journey, so you kind of get a bit of a look at who she is and what she’s doing before we go back to the start. I guess a bit like the anime berserk. When berserk starts we see the character guts, he’s dishevelled, he’s got an arm missing and he’s killing a monster and he’s looking completely psychotic and that’s the first episode from episode two. We go back to where it started with him and then you see how he gets to this point and that’s kind of with noir is how has Binki got to this point and I’ve forgotten my point for a minute there. My train of thoughts for, because she’s entered the room and I can’t reach her.

(15:15)
Excuse me while I try and get my thoughts back because my memory not very good.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (15:20):
All good. Did

Duncan Pranevicius (15:21):
You ask me again? Sorry.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (15:23):
Well see now you require me to remember what I asked you. Oh yeah,

Duncan Pranevicius (15:27):
Yeah, no, my point’s in between. We find out in noir there is a group basically that she’s hunting of nine called the Nine of Conglomerate of high powered people and serial killers and where that goes and how that plays into the story. We yet to find out, this sort of group goes pretty deep. That’s not a mystery. We find out mystery who Bin Kitty is and what she’s doing but who are these nine mysterious figures and serial killers operating the country basically.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (16:09):
And that’s I suppose where the, is that the one?

Duncan Pranevicius (16:13):
Yeah.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (16:14):
Oh, hello Kitty cat that is Hello Potato with Link. You’ll not look at the camera at all.

Duncan Pranevicius (16:21):
What are you doing? Where

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (16:21):
We go? We got to look. Hello up. So yep, just nothing

Duncan Pranevicius (16:28):
Very good.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (16:28):
Nothing. There you go. The inspiration ladies and gentlemen behind. Yeah,

Duncan Pranevicius (16:34):
There it is. The golden goose.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (16:40):
Wow. We got an appearance from Ben Kitty herself. There you

Duncan Pranevicius (16:44):
Go. She’s off to go and eat a sausage roll and Shooter A Jay Walker in the head. In the face.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (16:52):
Yeah, I was going to say the presents issue the first one anyway. Yeah, you can sort of see the anime influences in the artwork, particularly when the nine pop up, which is really cool. I wasn’t expecting it because the style, I think of the aesthetic of the Ben Kitty stuff, the initial pages I was thinking it was slightly different and then the anime stuff comes in.

Duncan Pranevicius (17:18):
Yeah,

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (17:19):
That’s exactly it. Yeah. Anyway, so it’s good. So it’s good that how it feels like you’re blending those two styles, the Sin City dark noir style with more of a anime kick punch. I don’t know how to explain it, but action, but that sort of a lot of movement, a lot of back and forth, all that sort of stuff and I just realised there’s no question there. So

Duncan Pranevicius (17:47):
That yes, I agree. I agree with everything you just said.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (17:50):
Excellent, excellent.

Duncan Pranevicius (17:52):
Thank you.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (17:53):
Very good. Good answer to the

Duncan Pranevicius (17:54):
Non-question. That’s

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (17:55):
Right. Before I throw to Shane, he’s just having drink given you time, given you time. You given me time. You’re giving me time Before I throw, I was going to ask you, as I look at my question again, what do you find most challenging about creating comics, drawing, coming up with ideas, the whole thing. What’s the most challenging or some of the most challenging things?

Duncan Pranevicius (18:25):
Just how long it takes honestly. If I could be happy reducing my style to something a lot more simple because the way I draw this particular comic is kind of time consuming and I find that to be the hardest part is actually trying to finish it in a timely manner as we found why it’s currently not out yet. That’s pretty much it. I love the process. I love, I love coming out with ideas. I love when ideas strike. You never know, you just be like, you walk in the Coles and all of a sudden you’ll just go, that’s a good idea. You could be writer on your phone and then you see it again two hours later and you’re like, what does that mean?

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (19:16):
Stupid? Do you have a particular, I have two places where ideas tend to come to me. One of them is just before you go to sleep, which is just so annoying.

Duncan Pranevicius (19:35):
I wrote parts one and two of blood hail in the noir books before I went to sleep. Those are all written in my head before I went to sleep. All of it, it’s all written when I’m laying there and just about to fall asleep and I’m basically writing it in my head.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (19:56):
Yeah, and do you remembered it? You just go through it like three or four times so it settling.

Duncan Pranevicius (20:04):
Yeah. Every night you sort of remember where you were and you’re like, okay, let’s replay that a bit and let’s add to it. Oh

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (20:09):
My God. It’s like you’re reading my mind. This is my process for writing novels. It’s everything, not and it’s the same thing. This

Duncan Pranevicius (20:18):
Is what I’m doing now. What I’m doing now with actually chapter three is I’m currently in the production of writing it.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (20:32):
Sorry, just before we go on. Yes, sped are a hundred percent correct. That is the second one. But anyway, I didn’t want to say it. It’s the

Duncan Pranevicius (20:41):
Toilet and shower.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (20:42):
Toilet and shower at the same, no different. Sure,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (20:47):
Why not?

Duncan Pranevicius (20:47):
You get projectile and you can really get it just over there.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (20:53):
Sorry, we interrupted with the reference to the second and third thinking places. You’re saying about, was it the third issue? No,

Duncan Pranevicius (21:03):
Sorry. Third chapter of Hale in noir. I’m currently working on that during my before sleep.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (21:12):
This is so good though. This is why comics is great. It’s great to talk to different people because I’m not the only nut bag out there. It seems to be a common thing

Duncan Pranevicius (21:22):
When you find something relatable, you feel really just good.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (21:27):
Yeah, I’m not the other one.

Duncan Pranevicius (21:29):
Yeah. I found out Zach and I are like two people that don’t script. We don’t script our comics, we just do

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (21:34):
It. Oh wow. Wow.

Duncan Pranevicius (21:37):
We found that we that in common. We just don’t script. We just thumbnail and do it

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (21:41):
Straight into it. Sorry.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (21:42):
Wow. Sorry, I’m reading a comment.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (21:46):
Oh God. Every time. Every single time. So while we’re talking,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (21:53):
Totally threw me when I saw that you’re a shocker. Why

Duncan Pranevicius (21:58):
Am wasting time on Ben Kitty when we could be talking about the devil’s

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (22:03):
Obviously? Oh goodness me. Alright. Yes. Let’s take it down a notch. So my suggestion is let’s hype up the excitement a little bit to give Shane just a little bit more time. I reckon we play the trailer for Oh

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:18):
Yes, let’s play the trailer

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (22:20):
And then when we come back you take the first question.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:23):
I take the first question. Okay. Just so everyone knows who’s commenting. There’s something weird going on with my screen. I can’t see the latest comment and I can’t bring it up. It’s just hidden just off the screen. It won’t let me press it or see it. So if I’m a little slow getting your comment, that’s why.

Duncan Pranevicius (22:39):
Good job, Shane.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:41):
Yeah, the comments are coming in a little bit slow and I just wanted to explain why

Duncan Pranevicius (22:48):
You

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (23:19):
Being,

Duncan Pranevicius (23:22):
I’ve seen the actual, the cover put together too, so that was pretty cool.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (23:27):
Yeah, that’s an exclusive, is that what it is? That’s the first time. So yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (23:33):
That’s exclusive outside of Comex headquarters, so yeah. Cool

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (23:39):
There. Okay,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (23:40):
So I get the first question. I’m going to go way, way, way away from comics. This is brought up every now and again on drink and draw and I thought we’re just going into it with a little bit more detail. What’s all this about wrestling?

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (23:55):
Good question.

Duncan Pranevicius (23:55):
I feeling that was going to come up. I wrestled for a little while, for a brief period from 16 to almost 19. I wrestled, I guess you could say professional wrestling even though I really, I didn’t do it for that long, but I briefly was a professional wrestler in Newcastle.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (24:19):
Nice.

Duncan Pranevicius (24:20):
Yes.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (24:21):
And we’re not talking, we’re not talking, I gather Olympics the head thing, we’re talking

Duncan Pranevicius (24:30):
Yes,

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (24:31):
Rock and

Duncan Pranevicius (24:31):
Roll. Most specifically, the way I like to do it was I guess what they would call hardcore or death match wrestling, which would involve a lot of barbed wire glass, light tubes, razor blades, all that sort of business.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (24:46):
Oh wow.

Duncan Pranevicius (24:47):
That I particularly enjoyed. I wrestled in the backyard with some friends, probably 13 up until 16. And then with my grandfather’s permission I already moved out of, I left home at the time my grandfather’s permission and some money from Centrelink. I went and trained to be a wrestler and at a WF near Woolongong.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:19):
Awesome.

Duncan Pranevicius (25:19):
Wow. I did that for a few years and hurt myself quite a lot. My lower back and my knees still aren’t a hundred percent.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:28):
Oh, that’s not so cool.

Duncan Pranevicius (25:29):
Yeah, no, no, I feel my knees sort of be scraped together. The cartilage is from doing that has been worn off even just that briefly. So I can only imagine guys that do it for 20 or 30 years and having multiple surgeries, but it wasn’t until I was planning to have my first child, my son that I was like, I can’t have to get out. So decided to stop.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (26:01):
So was it just the decision I need to be around, I need to be,

Duncan Pranevicius (26:08):
Yeah, it was pretty much at the time, that was around the time. I really didn’t really have internet access a lot of my life. But in my very late teens I did. And that’s when I sort of learned about a lot of guys wrestling for a long time and just sort of what their life’s like and I was like, I can’t be paralysed and have a kid. It was just me on my own when I was doing it on my own. There’s really no sense of self preservation. I could do anything, but when I learned that I have someone to take care of coming was like, I can’t go see my child graduate high school or something in a wheelchair, stuff

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (26:53):
Like that. Yeah,

Duncan Pranevicius (26:55):
That’s pretty much it. That got me to just like I got to move on to something else.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (27:00):
Yeah. And does that experience help with things like action sequences and that sort of thing that you’re drawing? Do you draw on any of that or is it

Duncan Pranevicius (27:13):
Oh yeah, there’s a lot of wrestling references in the stuff. I do a lot of fight scenes then wrestling related certain moves and stuff and general actual wrestlers. I’ve taken a lot of inspiration for characters, especially a lot of independent wrestlers or Japanese wrestlers. Not so much in the WWE e or anyone a real big name, but sort of independent and older guys that I’m a fan of, a big fan of Japanese wrestling and independent wrestling, taking a lot of inspiration from those people.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (27:55):
Okay, sweet. And are there key kind of differences between Japanese wrestling and other styles or,

Duncan Pranevicius (28:03):
Well yeah, a lot of American wrestling specifically with WWF, there’s a more focus on the entertainment, not on the actual physicality. Where in Japan they’ve got a thing called strong style, which is more actual strikes. If you’re going to forearm someone, you’ll legitimately forearm them in the face and it’s more about not the theatrics or the drama or anything, it’s about two guys kind of beating the crap out of each other for half an hour. And the story in that, the story of that particular match and coming back and taking punishment and giving it out. There’s a strange poetry to Japanese wrestling that I kind of like the back and forth and the story in it.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (28:53):
Cool. Okay, groovy. So back to comics for a little bit. Anyone in the industry, any artists that you look up to or any sort of people that you’re thinking, man, I’d love to work with them or I’d love to work in that area or put my twist on a particular brand or whatever.

Duncan Pranevicius (29:21):
Nothing off the top of my head. I really like Moon Night. I’m a big fan of Moon Night, so I’m really big, really chill. The show’s coming out actually looks good, but I don’t think Moonlight has in the comics ever really had his definitive run. Say the Punisher has, I love The Punisher, but I wouldn’t write The Punisher. I know I wouldn’t be able to top welcome back Frank from Garth Ennis. There’s no topping that. But don’t think Moon Knight’s really had his dark night returns or Welcome back Frank. He’s never had a definitive run and I think giving Moon Night a big story and a really good run is something I’d like to do what I do. You’ve done everything. You’ve planned that story out Zach for a hundred years. Put big Talking Cats in Bronwyn and I’ll get on it.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (30:28):
So at the moment, and I realise that this is a very time intensive thing that you’re doing, so the answer may be nothing, but what are you reading, listening to watching at the moment? What influences are you trying to bring in to

Duncan Pranevicius (30:44):
Help? It’s not like I have a whole lot of time to read, I’d like to read more stuff. Oh yes, it’s, I’m getting through a lot of gto, manga, the horror manga. I’ve just started reading the Fists of the North Star manga that my partner got me for Christmas. Vin Saga, which is another manga. It’s Viking Manga.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (31:13):
Oh cool.

Duncan Pranevicius (31:14):
A plug show. Sorry.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (31:15):
Sorry. I was going to say it’s

Duncan Pranevicius (31:16):
A show it general plug

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (31:17):
Show. I have to bring that up. I always bat my drink out,

Duncan Pranevicius (31:25):
That’s what I’m reading. I’m just reading a lot of manga as much as I can while I get it. And then rereading old stuff like I keep rereading Dragon Ball every year or I’ll read a Kia over a year again and again because they’re both brilliant and I got a bunch of stuff on my, every week I’m finding more stuff to read as this series called Goodnight, pun. Pun, which is in the story, it’s story. I think it’s about coming of age and depression and things like that. But the character of Pun Pun is like a dude with a morphing duck head. But it’s a super serious story about depression and anxiety, but it looks so silly and that really appeals to me. I really like

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (32:13):
I was going to say, I can see how you’d gravitate towards that

Duncan Pranevicius (32:18):
And I’m looking forward if this is a plug show, sluggish from Sped. Oh,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:24):
Sluggish

Duncan Pranevicius (32:24):
Looks great,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:27):
Go on sped. You got to comment on that one.

Duncan Pranevicius (32:28):
Talk about anxiety, depression and that with goofy looking characters. That’s my thing. I’m very much looking forward to the sluggish.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (32:38):
Well you’ll cop a fair bit of it I’d say in the next few weeks and months as we all will. Yes, no doubt.

Duncan Pranevicius (32:46):
Exactly.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (32:48):
So what sort of villain do you like? What villain would you like to something you’d like to write or that you’re attracted to those sorts of villains?

Duncan Pranevicius (33:01):
I think what I’m attracted to a villain almost comes from, again, the wrestling point of view, which is a villain that feels like, I think I feel like a good villain seeing with a good heal and wrestling should believe wholeheartedly that what they’re doing is right, that they’re doing what they believe is right or what they think is the right thing to do. Not just evil for the sake of evil or crazy for the sake of crazy.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (33:28):
I

Duncan Pranevicius (33:29):
Like that. But if you can get in their head, you can see in a way they’re twisted point of view, which I think you can for any good villain, say Griffith from Berserk, there’s a lot of people that can see why Griffith did what he did, not spoiling, berserk for anybody and say Tetsuo and Akira who became a villain. He did the way he did, he was all circumstances.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (34:01):
Yeah,

Duncan Pranevicius (34:03):
I think a sympathetic villain, I seem to more just not evil for the sake of it. It was a bit boring.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (34:09):
Yeah, cool. Okay, so an idea or and something that you’re happy to share, something that you’ve thought of that you are either it’s just too far and you just can’t do it or you wouldn’t do it or it’s just not the right time or it’s scares the living crap out of you, it’s just too daunting. Is there something you’ve, that’s come up that you’ve just either thought, no, I can’t do that, that’s too far and it can be Ben Kitty or it can be something else.

Duncan Pranevicius (34:46):
Ben Kitty’s going to have points of this, but if I’m being completely honest and almost vulnerable for a second, I think it’s anything autobiographical,

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (34:55):
Right?

Duncan Pranevicius (34:56):
And which I’m kind of putting into Bin Kitty a little bit, but I think anything a bit more autobiographical and anything really close to home, close to anything. Anything that’s a little too close to traumas I guess in a way stuff like that is annoying. I’d really like to do it. I think it’d be cathartic and I think it’d make a really good story doing something slightly autobiographical. Not obviously, not completely because I’m not full of myself, just a little bit experiences here and there, but there’s that. But I always think it’d be a kick also to do a horror comic that is so disgusting. It rivals that have say the crossed or something. If anyone’s read the crossed, they know what I’m talking about.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (35:46):
I was not ready for it when I just ordered it and thought it’ll be fine.

Duncan Pranevicius (35:52):
It comes from a major publisher and it’s Garth Henon. You think, Hey, this guy did the boys, this guy did the Punisher. What a romp. And you get it and you’re like just going. That’s what it’s when you’re reading Cross and then you read the side stories and they’re even worse.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (36:14):
Oh man, I couldn’t go that far.

Duncan Pranevicius (36:19):
Alan Moore did a run on crossed.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (36:22):
Really?

Duncan Pranevicius (36:23):
Yeah, I was surprised to find it as well. And it’s of course surprisingly it’s the most, well-written of all the cross series.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (36:34):
Oh yeah.

Duncan Pranevicius (36:36):
You haven’t read Cross and you’ve got a strong stomach and you’re not traumatised easily go and find Cross.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (36:45):
Okay, I’ve crossed that one off the list. Strong soft stomach. No.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (36:55):
Yeah. Cool. So thank you for that. Yeah, and I completely agree. I think it’s autobiographical stuff can be rough, it can be hard or something where there’s been trauma involved in that sort of stuff. Yeah, I’m the same. I usually shy away from that and I’ve not had a traumatic life at all, but anything involving that is,

Duncan Pranevicius (37:17):
Yeah, I’m putting a little bits of it into Bin Kitty. I’m pretty shy. I think just to sort of cathartic reasons, as I said. And also think some things make a good story and good characters. Taking bits of yourself, your life and putting it into certain characters.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (37:34):
Yeah. Nice. Okay, so now we’re getting into the super serious deep questions. Good. I was going to say tissues ready everyone, but then I thought sps, you’ll take it the wrong way. So anyway, we’re getting into some emotional stuff. So the first question is Bin Kitty, I would say Bin Kitty in the presents version in the back of the car, McDonald’s drive through. What is she ordering?

Duncan Pranevicius (38:05):
She’s ordering a large double Quarter Pounder meal. She’s getting an extra double quarter pounder with it. She’s getting six nuggets to put in the Quarter Pounder and she’s also going to have an Oreo mc flurry on the side for dipping as she would say it. And she’s going to sit there and she’s going to look at all the cows that are driving by doing this Gone, that Quarter Pounder with the nuggets and eating are gone.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (38:39):
I love the fact that you have no hesitation whatsoever. You’re the only one that’s answered that straightaway. You know exactly what she

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:46):
Do.

Duncan Pranevicius (38:47):
I know, I know her. I live with her.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (38:51):
Fair enough, fair enough. Wow. Alright, so we’re approaching the ultimate question of the night, but Shane, have you got any more questions you would like to ask our wonderful guest This fine night?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:07):
Yes. Yes. I had a question I made up for another guest, but the show ended, so I’m going to use it on this guest.

Duncan Pranevicius (39:15):
Good.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:17):
Let’s scratch wrestling. If you weren’t doing comics, what would you be doing? Professional wise?

Duncan Pranevicius (39:27):
I had a choice of anything. If I can manipulate time and reality and do anything I wanted.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:34):
Yeah, go with that. That sounds good.

Duncan Pranevicius (39:38):
It’d either be still comics or it’d be wrestling or I would be in a black metal band.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (39:46):
Nice. I’m

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:47):
Going with the last one.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (39:49):
Metal.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:51):
Nice metal metal.

Duncan Pranevicius (39:52):
There’s there three things I’ve always wanted to do.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:56):
Okay, cool.

Duncan Pranevicius (39:56):
Yeah.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (39:57):
Sweet. Cool.

Duncan Pranevicius (39:59):
And I feel good that I’ve done two of them. I’ve been in a death metal band, but never a black metal band.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (40:05):
I wouldn’t even know the difference, but

Duncan Pranevicius (40:08):
Cool. You’re a ple.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (40:16):
All right, so now we come to it. Favourite food watching, favourite film at the moment. It doesn’t have to be of all time. It can be, let’s say it’s happening right now. Favourite food, favourite film. What would the combination be?

Duncan Pranevicius (40:32):
I would order a large bucket of KFC chicken and watch a Kira.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (40:41):
Oh, excellent choice.

Duncan Pranevicius (40:44):
Kira is my favourite film right now. Cool. So KFC Chicken, but

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (40:48):
Chicken’s my favourite. Oh, that’s not a film. Sorry.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (40:52):
It could be a film

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (40:54):
One day. It could be. I’ll make it one day.

Duncan Pranevicius (40:56):
Hey, hey, they’ve got a Colonel Sanders dating simulator game, so you never know what’s going to happen.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (41:01):
What the, oh god. Some nice greasy dates.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (41:04):
I don’t know what that means, but I’m hoping you do.

Duncan Pranevicius (41:10):
Well, I mean to produce Dark Throne, all you need is a tape recorder that you’ve kicked down the stairs and you can call Dark Throne Dimmy Bogie because they’re more symphonic with orchestra like elements. You’d need a whole big thing for that. They got such clean production as Dark Throne because it’s pure Norwegian black metal from the nineties. You can record it on a fart and boom, you send it out, it’s done. That’s cult. That’s pure.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (41:44):
Well we should save that for music and Comex Music and Comex the next show and into more detail

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (41:53):
X.

Duncan Pranevicius (41:53):
There you go. Almost sounds like sex.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (41:56):
Let’s just forget English language altogether. Let’s just screw

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:00):
The English language.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (42:02):
Everything is just going to have a comics badge on it. That’s the way we’re going. Yep.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:06):
Damn straight.

Duncan Pranevicius (42:07):
That’s right, that’s what they recorded. Pans of Faust on, probably toilet. Oh,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:12):
Okay.

Duncan Pranevicius (42:13):
They didn’t, this is a joke. They recorded pans of fast.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (42:19):
We wouldn’t know. Alright, so we are up to Thank you very much sir. Well first of all, before we move on to the next section, is there anything else you would like to add and would you like to plug something in particular? Maybe a Kickstarter that might be coming up? Yes.

Duncan Pranevicius (42:36):
Just keep an eye out for the bin. Kitty. Kickstarter coming very soon, very, very soon. For the end of the month, most likely. And also when Presents Noir comes out, you buy it, you’ll buy it. Yes. You haven’t already.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (42:53):
It’s pretty simple. Buy it ladies and gentlemen buy it. I love it. Alright, thank you sir. Thank you very much. All right, so we’re now up to the point where we give back to you our guest.

Duncan Pranevicius (43:09):
Good.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (43:09):
And I already know that this is going to be another shameful occasion where one of us follows the rules and the other one uses connections with impressive artists to just go

Duncan Pranevicius (43:23):
Right by

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (43:24):
The rules altogether.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:25):
Rules. Rules.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (43:28):
All

Duncan Pranevicius (43:28):
Right. I gave him a hint. I gave him a hint of what to do early. I don’t know if he followed it.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:33):
He didn’t follow it.

Duncan Pranevicius (43:35):
Oh God, here

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:38):
We go. He was going to follow it and then he ran out of time, so he used his connections to get someone else to do it.

Duncan Pranevicius (43:44):
Oh shit.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:46):
But first we’ll start with the gift that was done using the rules.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (43:54):
Five

Duncan Pranevicius (43:54):
Minutes. The official one, Morgan, the one I’ll like the most. I even gave

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (44:03):
It a slogan.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:05):
Yeah, I know. That’s awesome.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (44:08):
The matter of, and that was one of the few ones that you can recognise. It kind of.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:13):
I was so happy. No, that’s an awesome one. You did awesome. I’m a bit jealous. I wish. Wish I had done one now.

Duncan Pranevicius (44:18):
Her shirt’s, great

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:20):
Shirt

Duncan Pranevicius (44:22):
At the pub.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (44:24):
I was going to do the camo stuff and I just thought, no, no, that’s going to blow my 10 minutes. I haven’t got time. I’ll just whack my signature on the bottom there. We, well,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:34):
The rules were followed just slightly. Apparently this took 10 minutes.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (44:40):
Oh God. Here we go. Oh, come on.

Duncan Pranevicius (44:45):
I don’t believe that took 10 minutes. I know who did that. I can recognise it. And they’re a goddamn liar.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (44:54):
Oh

Duncan Pranevicius (44:54):
Man. Every word that comes out of their mouth is crap.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (44:57):
It’s like it’s done with watercolours or something. Thank you, Peter. Thank you. I take that,

Duncan Pranevicius (45:04):
That’s,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:05):
I’m on the wrong page to take it down.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (45:07):
You can take it down now. Yeah, leaving it up there is just an insult to those of us.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:11):
Sorry, I went to comments and I couldn’t take it down.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (45:15):
Wow. There you go.

Duncan Pranevicius (45:17):
That’s great. Put that in the book. We got pages, we got space. Put that in there. I love that. Put put Morgan’s in there too. Put her all in there.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:28):
Oh yeah. Damn, straight. I thought you meant

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (45:31):
I’m totally an artist. Take all them

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:34):
And just so the right person gets credit for that picture. That was done by Zach. George. That was the person I got to do the drawing for me tonight. I did eventually.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (45:52):
Oh, and he is saying it’s nine minutes. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Duncan Pranevicius (45:55):
Well Zach, I’m going to call the police on you and they’re going to come around to your house and you’ll have a nice chat with the policemen in the parking lot. Yes.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (46:09):
Alright. In jokes.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:12):
In jokes everywhere. Oh dear. People are liking the drawing. I didn’t do so

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (46:20):
Well done. The drawing. You did via connections.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:23):
Yes. Great connections.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (46:27):
Cool. All right. Go team.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:32):
Go team. I guess this is where we say thank you Duncan very much

Duncan Pranevicius (46:38):
For coming in.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:39):
Let to chat with you and getting to know you a little better. That was always awesome to do. I learned a few things

Duncan Pranevicius (46:44):
A good time. Yes, as you always do.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (46:48):
Thank you for making look slightly cooler than what we do

Duncan Pranevicius (46:52):
Without you. It’s what I do. I go around the world doing that.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (46:59):
Cooling things

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:59):
Up a bit, make cooling things up. That’s right. Wipe my air conditioner nice. That’s right.

Duncan Pranevicius (47:05):
I did that.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:06):
Sorry, I threw it in there. Air conditioner. I got air conditioner today.

Duncan Pranevicius (47:09):
You’re welcome. You’re welcome. Shane.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:12):
Yes. It’s the Deluxe Duncan model.

Duncan Pranevicius (47:15):
That’s right.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:16):
Extra

Duncan Pranevicius (47:17):
Cool connections.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:24):
Oh dear. My brain went to really bad places then. Thank you very much. Oh no, it’s just not that bad a place. Thank you very much. Thank you Morgan for the excellent questions. Thank you for putting me on the spot. But I was ready this time.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (47:42):
You were and

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:44):
I just wasn’t ready enough to draw a picture and I’ll draw one when I get some time later to give you Anyway, Duncan just on the side. Oh,

Duncan Pranevicius (47:53):
I hope so.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:55):
I’ll show maybe next week or the week after or the week after or the week after or the week after. So I’ll show it eventually.

Duncan Pranevicius (48:03):
I’ll put ’em in the book as well.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (48:10):
Pregnant, pause.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:12):
Sorry, A big comment. It’s the first

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (48:14):
Rule. The first rule is you don’t have dead air that you need to

Duncan Pranevicius (48:19):
Keep talking. Just got to keep talking something.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:23):
Sorry, I just saw a really big comment and I was reading it, so I was just to make sure it was alright to post. Anyway, going off topic there going, I’m totally aware I’m not supposed to go at this time everywhere. I’m meant to be saying goodbye to Duncan. I’m meant to be playing a little visual to go to the next section. So thank you very much Duncan.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (48:41):
Thanks Doug. Have a

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:41):
Good one. Chats and look forward to having you back on for Bin Kitty two.

Duncan Pranevicius (48:47):
Yes,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:48):
It’s going to happen. Damnit.

Duncan Pranevicius (48:50):
Eventually I have a rest first.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:52):
Not eventually. Soon.

Duncan Pranevicius (48:54):
Soon. I’m going to rest first

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:57):
Asleep.

Duncan Pranevicius (48:58):
Cool. Got three

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:58):
Kids, man. Night buddy. Oh yeah. Three kids. Yeah. True

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (49:02):
Night. Worst.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:14):
Goodbye ever.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (49:18):
It was one of the longest.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:19):
It was definitely the longest. It’s so

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (49:21):
Nice. You don’t want to say goodbye as soon as he’s gone. It’s like you’re left with this. Yeah, what do you do?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:28):
Yeah, true Nick. True. Stay on target.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (49:31):
Stay on target.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:36):
Alright, so do you want to go first or you want me to go first?

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (49:39):
It’s up to you, bro. It’s up to you. Whatever you want.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:42):
Cool. Well I’m going to do a plug, but I’ll do that after I’ve done the comic. Is this the right one? Yep, this is the right one. I was inspired by.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (49:54):
Hey, how you doing? Hi everyone. That’s the wrong one, bro.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:58):
I dunno. That’s the wrong button. Do

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (50:00):
It.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:02):
Let’s try that again.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (50:06):
Oh, bad Harvey. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:07):
Bad Harvey. You told me about him and I went to the site and bought everything I could.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (50:12):
Nice.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:13):
And I was very happy upon reading this that I’d done that so bad. Harvey, if you’re watching eventually. If not tonight, let’s not take me off the screen this time. And this has two stories in it. Axe, murder, movie, marathon. Oh, there is an axe in both of them. Yeah, I didn’t think of that. There’s two stories. They call it the drive in and freak out. Frankie’s Drive in. I think that’s because of this dude here who’s at the beginning of each story. I’ll boost it up. So

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (50:45):
Much light. Oh, a gruesome old movie.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:49):
The story. He introduces each story.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (50:52):
Nice.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:53):
So little Ticket Guy, which is a nice touch. But the first story is awesome. Awesome art on both stories I might add as well. I should look up who that is before I come on.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (51:10):
It’s a kids book, is it? Yeah, it’s for kids.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:13):
Yeah. Yeah. Nudity, gore and Mayhem. Definitely kids. Good,

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (51:16):
Good, good, good. Yes.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:17):
Kids who are 18 plus it’s the first one is a guy, is a whole bunch of people do an acid trip and you’ve heard of bad trips. Well this one takes a cake. It is pretty bad. And there’s an axe involved. And the second one also an axe involved, but in a lot different way. It’s a bit of a nice little story. There’s some people babysitting some kids and there’s some people who are out at the night and then

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (51:55):
P,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:56):
What the hell just happened? Yeah, there’s an axe again and a lot of blood. So that’s about all I can say about the stories, about ruining the cool bits of the stories, but very cool. I need to actually prepare myself for this before I do this, Chris. Oh, Chris Wood. I thought that art was the same in both of them and the writer is the same in both of them.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (52:22):
It’s almost like they were a creative team.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:25):
Yes. Chris Wood did the storyboard, the pencils, the inking, the colours and the letters and both. I was wondering why they were both such gorgeous art and it’s because this guy called Chris Wood. I don’t know Chris Wood, but Chris Wood fucking awesome job. And the story itself by Aaron Harvey also. Very cool. So I recommend going to Bad Harvey. Oh, okay. That’s probably the same Harvey.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (52:56):
That’s the

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:57):
Harvey. And checking out his stories. He’s got not that book. I’m pretty sure I put all of ’em up here. Here’s another double feature, which I haven’t read yet, so I can’t review that one just yet. It’s also got strong bloody violence and course language. And of course we’ve already seen this one, but I got that while I was there. The one that Morgan reviewed about two or three weeks ago.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (53:31):
I remember it well. I remember it like it was two or three weeks ago.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:35):
Two or three weeks ago. But yeah, I got that. I’m really glad that you reviewed that comic and made me go to that site because that was an awesome story by Harvey and Mr. Wood. Was it? Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Great.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (53:49):
So you could almost say that this podcast is helping indie comics by spreading the word actually. And just by you buying stuff,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:57):
Me buying stuff. So

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (53:59):
You are supporting indie comics across Australia, just yourself.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:03):
Yep. That’s what I do.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (54:06):
That’s awesome, dude. That

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:08):
Is awesome. We going to review tonight to make me buy.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (54:11):
Alright, tonight I’m going to review. I mean it’s not really a review, it’s more of a This is great, have a look at it, but you know what I mean.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:19):
Yeah, yeah. We shouldn’t call it reviews, it’s just our takes on stuff. Why weren’t undertaker

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (54:27):
Morton Stone? And I think, is that it there?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:30):
That looks really cool.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (54:31):
So Gary Teller, Ben Temple.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:33):
Oh, Gary Ashley Wood.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (54:35):
Yes. Now, so I can’t remember where I got this from. I think it was from a Brizzy comic shop or it might’ve been a while ago at one of the cons that was up here. I can’t even remember where I got it from, but I found it the other day and I thought, oh, I hadn’t read it yet. So read

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:54):
It. I’ll tell you next week. So I will track it down and I will find it.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (54:57):
You will track it down. All right, well let me show you some of the artworks. So it’s this really nice broody black and white, rainy night kind of style noir esque. It’s beautiful artwork, really, really nicely done. The writing is fantastic. It feels like a small book, but it’s one of those ones that you just chew at and you work your way through and it just sort of sucks you in right at the beginning. It’s like a really good film that you are just watching and getting absorbed by the characters. I love the main character. I love the story. It’s kind of got a bit of a tragic twist to the main character and it has these kind of dark accused of murder, acquitted, mass murderer floating around. It’s set in a graveyard. He’s an undertaker. It’s the name. So it has some really good themes in there and it’s just really well developed.

(56:01)
And like I said, it’s something that you can take, you chew through, you don’t sort of rush it, you just enjoy the stories you go through, which is really, really nice. And I can’t remember if I read anything by Gary before, but I loved it and I loved the writing. You can just tell a really good writer when you read it. It’s so good. And that’s what I follow up with this one. So I know the second one I think is out already. I’m pretty sure on the website on, I can’t remember where I was looking at. It might’ve been Gary’s website. Second one is available. I haven’t got it yet. But yeah, highly recommend that. Really, really nice work. And that is my promo slash review slash I read a thing this week for the segment.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:50):
Yeah, I did too. That’s unusual for me.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (56:52):
We both did. That’s pretty cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:54):
Yeah, that’s pretty cool that we did that. Now I’m trying to do this live, but I dunno if I’ll be able to do it quick enough.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (57:02):
Do you want me to, I’ll do some stuff like that to keep the interest going while you are, hang on. That looks like my thumb’s at a really weird angle. I don’t even know how to, that’s No, that’s not going to work.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:22):
Damn it. I was hoping it would be on owner Indy, but it’s not.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (57:26):
Excellent.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:29):
There’s a whole heap of stuff by Gary Cell there, but that’s not one of them. Oh, it’s a shame. Oh, I thought I was going to find where it was until everyone dammit.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (57:39):
Well, do you want to play a video promo and then you can look or that probably won’t give. I

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:45):
Should have looked. It probably won’t, but that’s a good idea. Anyway. So do you want to press the play and pick one or do you want me to do Oh,

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (57:53):
I can press the play everyone. I’m driving, I’m driving.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:58):
Look out. Look out. You

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (57:59):
Alright, here we go. Bam.

Voice Over (58:02):
Nothing unusual about a 4:00 AM call to a back alley in downtown Kenton. A young woman lying, pristine and unmarked on the cold hard ground. I get to work quickly, but there’s not much to go on here. No marks of any kind. No signs of struggle. Just a dead vic in the middle of an alley. And then there’s that dead body in a dumpster that looks like a grizzly bear has crawled its way out of his stomach.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (58:59):
What was that?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:02):
I don’t know. I’m too busy typing in morgan qua.com. I want a copy.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (59:06):
Well you can’t get a copy yet except you can because anyone that backs my current Kickstarter seamless. My current Kickstarter for Shadow’s daughter, anyone that’s an Aussie that backs it gets free copy of the blood below a digital copy. We don’t have the print copies ready yet. But yeah, so all you got to do is back anything on my Campaign for Shadow’s Daughter. And you will get a free copy of that one. And then I think the print version is going to come out later in the year at some time. But it’s my favourite and I love it and it’s really cool and it’s got blood and guts in it and stuff, which is awesome. Anyway.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:42):
Oh, blood and guts

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (59:43):
Promo for me over, did you find it? Did you find the Gary goodness?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:49):
No, I didn’t. I didn’t. But I’m going to do a little promo here that ties to Duncan presents two, sorry, three, sorry, three, two is what I’m packing up behind me. But I’ve got two on the brain because see that pole behind me’s there? That is two, that is a pole of two ready to go out.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (01:00:10):
So you’ve got a pile of two behind you. You’ve got number two behind you. Yep, yep. Okay, good.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:00:15):
Okay. Nice. Nice. Thanks for twisting that. Thank you. Yeah,

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (01:00:18):
Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:00:18):
And three, we’ll talk about three then. Three is coming out hopefully by the end of the week. And three has a stretch goal. That stretch goal has a couple of things in it. But the one thing that we have a copy of already is one of the prints that will be in that stretch goal drawn by Duncan of all the characters in one of his many styles.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (01:00:46):
Oh, nice.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:00:48):
Seriously, that is Duncan Art.

Morgan ‘The’ Quaid (01:00:51):

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:00:53):
