Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (00:13):
Welcome to another episode of the Oz Comic Show. I am Shame or Sizzle. And this is

Morgan Quaid (00:21):
Morgan,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (00:24):
Sorry, wrong way. And tonight we’re talking to Shaden. Do I hope I pronounced the last name right? Because I asked about the first name and I didn’t ask about the last name.

Morgan Quaid (00:34):
Did you say do, do or do

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (00:36):
Ju? I said do, didn’t I?

Morgan Quaid (00:38):
We’re going to have to, Sam, like you said, do, but that’s all right. We’re going to

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (00:41):
Have to ask. Oh, we’re going to have to ask. That’s the first question. There you go. That’s my question for the night. That is

Morgan Quaid (00:47):
Not your question. You don’t get a freebie. That does not count as a question. No chance.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (00:52):
Cool. Well just check the comments here before we go. Yes. Hello Zach. Let’s get on with the show, shall we? I went to the wrong window again.

Morgan Quaid (01:24):
Hey, welcome.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:26):
Hello.

Morgan Quaid (01:26):
Welcome, welcome, welcome. I’ll let you ask first question. Sizzle doesn’t get this one. First question, how do we pronounce both of your names? What’s the preferred pronunciation?

Sheydin Dew (01:38):
So the preferred pronunciation of my name is Shaden J, so you did have it right? It’s all good.

Morgan Quaid (01:46):
Shaden J. Very good. Good. Although

Sheydin Dew (01:48):
A lot of people call me Juy or Shay, so that’s fine. Oh,

Morgan Quaid (01:52):
That’s pretty cool. Juy. Very good. All right, so welcome, welcome. Great to have you here. Thank you. We might dig right in straight away. Not that far. So obviously we’re here to talk about art and about comics and about comic creation and that sort of thing. I see something behind you which has a pinkish kind of cover, and it’s called No Man’s Land. I believe

Sheydin Dew (02:22):
You would be correct. Yes.

Morgan Quaid (02:24):
So why don’t you tell us a little bit before we get to that, why don’t you tell us a little bit about your artistic journey? Where did you first catch the art bug? Where’d you start drawing? How did that all sort of occur?

Sheydin Dew (02:36):
Well, I think a lot of artists, I kind of started ever since I could pick up a pencil. I very vividly remember drawing on my parents’ walls within my childhood house. So that’s where it all started. And then eventually, I do remember being told off for drawing in my dad’s diary all the time. He’s a construction site manager. So that wasn’t always the greatest thing to do. I also do remember my mom handing in an assignment. She went to uni when I was really little and I had drawn all over her uni assignment when they were handwritten. So from a very young age, I’d say, yeah. Wow, there so much,

Morgan Quaid (03:23):
So much now, so much.

Sheydin Dew (03:24):
Yeah, that’s it. That’s it. Yeah. All from very young age. I think I could draw better than I could walk. So yeah,

Morgan Quaid (03:32):
There you go. What were some of the influences you can remember? You’ve obviously loved drawing from a very young age. Are there certain films, TV shows, drawings, comics

Sheydin Dew (03:44):
From when you were younger? I love this question. I dunno if a lot of people remember, but as a young kid, I had an audio book called Bedtime Stories by Shirley Barber, and it was all about fairies and I don’t know, all these really cool fairytales, like proper fairy fairy tales. And it had a CD that you could put in and it would read the story along with you and it had this distinct little charm. Every time it played you turn the

Morgan Quaid (04:12):
Page.

Sheydin Dew (04:13):
The page, exactly, yes.

Morgan Quaid (04:15):
I remember. Not that one, but I remember the style. Yeah. Wow.

Sheydin Dew (04:18):
And this lady, her style of drawing was just so captivating. I remember when I was about four or five as a kid, I, I flipped this page per se in my drawing career journey, whatever you want to say. But as a four or 5-year-old, when you draw someone specifically from a profile, I would always draw them with draw a circle and then a triangle for notes. I remember looking at this book and I saw this particular way you’d draw a profile and that’s where I distinctively remember putting those dots together and being like, oh, you could actually draw it how she’s drawn it, which is really kind of realistic. And that’s a very core memory for me. Wow. How to draw. That’s really cool. Side profile. So yeah,

Morgan Quaid (05:10):
A

Sheydin Dew (05:11):
Huge inspiration for me.

Morgan Quaid (05:13):
And you would’ve been eight, nine, something like that maybe? Or older or younger? No,

Sheydin Dew (05:18):
This was when I was four or five. This was, yeah, this was like 20 years ago. And then obviously moving on from there, I delved into the world of anime and manga. So I read a lot of, it’s actually on this side, I think it is somewhere along here, actually just here next to Nomez land. I wrote my manga and anime, all my DVDs and stuff like that. So that was probably when I was in early high school. I got into that kind of stuff. I loved it. I still love it to this day. And then I think it was in university that I really started to delve into the western world of comics, which then that

Morgan Quaid (06:03):
Was a little bit later then.

Sheydin Dew (06:04):
Yeah, it was really later on. Yeah, I’m a little bit of a blank bloomer in the western world of comics.

Morgan Quaid (06:11):
There we go. Okay. So yeah, that makes having a look at some of your art, that kind of makes sense as well, that journey. I can see some of those influences. So I’ve forgotten what it’s called already. Fairy story

Sheydin Dew (06:28):
Book Bedtime stories.

Morgan Quaid (06:30):
Bedtime stories. Stories,

Sheydin Dew (06:31):
Yeah.

Morgan Quaid (06:32):
Yeah. So I remember exactly that except showing my age a little bit. It was tapes, so it was a tape with mine and mine was actually rumple stilt skin and it scared the crap out of me. And I remember the reason why I bring this up is because I remember at the time I was reading that I was very young and we went to a dairy farm and I just remember getting scared from that story at a dairy farm. And then I remember seeing how the milk was made and everything and being turned off and not wanting to drink milk for a long, long time because of all of the cows and the stuff that goes on in the rear end of the cows and all that. You see the whole thing. Which brings me to a question. Oh, nice.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (07:17):
You just got sale.

Sheydin Dew (07:19):
Hey, thank you so much. I thought I just had a ding on my emails. That must have been it. Thank you much.

Morgan Quaid (07:25):
We’re bringing the Kish cash in for you. Look at that. So that brings me to next question. Tell us about cheese and your relationship to it.

Sheydin Dew (07:38):
So by evening, I am a comic creator and all things art. And by day I am a cheesemaker. I actually work for Paris Creek Farms here in South Australia. I’m pretty new to the cheese industry to be honest. About only six months in, I started in the warehouse department and then moved into production. So I do everything from soft cheeses to hot cheeses. So

Morgan Quaid (08:05):
The question we all want to know is what are the big secrets that big cheese is keeping from us? What nefarious things are going on there? Don’t lose your job. We don’t want you to lose your job.

Sheydin Dew (08:20):
No, I think the older the cheese, the better the cheese actually, to be

Morgan Quaid (08:25):
Honest. Just like people.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (08:28):
That’s

Sheydin Dew (08:28):
Exactly it.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (08:30):
Hope. That’s right.

Morgan Quaid (08:33):
So we’ve had a request. Can we have a look at some of the work? Actually, I should know you

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (08:40):
Saw that. I was about to bring that up. I was waiting for you guys to have a bit of a break chat. What I’ll do, have a little, do you mind if I flick through the book? It’ll be easier for me to

Sheydin Dew (08:47):
Work by. Go ahead, go ahead.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (08:49):
Okay, let’s bring me up. I’m forgetting how to do my own thing.

Morgan Quaid (08:53):
Yeah. Alright, there we go. Okay,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (08:55):
Let’s see if I can get this the right way around. So here’s some of the, I can’t see anything now.

Morgan Quaid (09:04):
That’s it. Keep going, keep going. Yep, yep, yep. There we go. Hold it there a bit. Yep, yep,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (09:10):
Yep. Flick over a few pages there. Nice.

Morgan Quaid (09:16):
And this is good. This leads me to another question, particularly about color. Yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (09:23):
I love the color in this book. So

Sheydin Dew (09:25):
Excited. I’m so excited for that question.

Morgan Quaid (09:29):
Well, the question is essentially, so there’s some different types of artwork on Instagram and on a few other places, which I’d like to talk about a bit later. But certainly in no Man’s Land, the color palette and the use of, I dunno, any of the terms, but the use of block color and the way that you’ve done it. And so tell us a little bit about the style you’ve used, why you like that sort of spell, sorry, I just got thrown by SP’s question why you like that style, what the appeal of it is, what field you’ve gone for. Go for it.

Sheydin Dew (10:01):
So when I first started No Man’s Land, just to give a brief background, I’m not sure if you’ll be getting to it. I was doing a thesis about comics, traditional versus digital, and I decided to also do a comic book alongside that thesis. So this was back in 2018. So we’re going little ways back. I had no idea what I was doing to be quite frank. And when I was illustrating and coloring the comic, I had no idea whether or not I was going to go toward a more realistic color palette or if I was just going to go all out and just go real colorful. And then I basically found a little comic store in Rundle Mall here in Adelaide. It’s called Greenlight Comics. They’re fantastic.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (10:52):
Oh yeah, they are good. I like them.

Sheydin Dew (10:54):
They are great. And they support so many indie and emerging comic creators here in Adelaide specifically, and it’s wonderful. They’re really, really good. And I was just looking through some of their books and at the time I was mad about rollerblading. Well, I still am mad about roller skating as in

Morgan Quaid (11:12):
Angry with the principal or really keen on it.

Sheydin Dew (11:15):
No, obsessed with the principal. So yeah, basically that’s where no man’s kind of came about, roller skating obviously. And I was going through the comic bookstore and I noticed that there wasn’t a lot of comics about roller skating, which I was like, oh, well really? And I found one particular one called Slam. I’ve actually got it. Can I show it on screen? Is that right?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (11:42):
Yeah, yeah, of course.

Sheydin Dew (11:44):
So this was my little design bible, and as you can see there is quite a few similarities between the artwork from Fish, Veronica Fish, I think her name is, and the color scheme. So I fell in love with this book so much because the colors are just like, I don’t know, they just really pop off the page, especially with the cover. The cover is what really drew me in and I was like, oh my God, I’d love to do my own thing with that kind of thing. With that kind of cover art, it just really drew me in. That was my main inspiration with the color. Then when I was doing the first one, it didn’t actually translate the same way as what I had in my head. It was quite bland. So just to give you an idea, I actually have the very original

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (12:37):
Of 2018. Wow.

Sheydin Dew (12:40):
Actually, it’s unfortunately not in print anymore, just because I think ever since I remastered it, which is what you’ve got, Shane. Yeah,

(12:50)
You’ve got the reused version. This is the original one from 2018. As you can see, it is very different when you flick into the inside. There’s not a lot going on to be honest, but I learned a lot from this. This was the prototype. Wow. So then in 2019, I rented my own little studio in Adelaide. I took on all the feedback and all the suggestions that I had got from a lot of the industry professionals here in the Adelaide community. And I got to the coloring part of the remastered version. I was like, I do not want to do the same thing as what I did there. I want to do something fresh. So there’s actually a particular page that it all kind of jelled for me. The first few pages, not so much, you’ll probably see very early in the story, it’s all, it’s not as saturated,

(13:46)
But you get to this point in the story and things become a little bit more saturated. It was when I got to this part where Maisie jumps over the stairs that bridge to of the territories, and then all of a sudden you go from a very blue and pink saturated color palette to all of a sudden a pink and yellow color palette. And so color then became a location indicator. So when you look at the maps in the very first pages of the book, depending on where you are on the story, it would be pink and yellow to indicate that they’re on the queen’s turf or pink and blue if they’re on the Libras turf. So that’s a little bit of the color is super, super important to me now, and it wasn’t in the first beginning of No Man’s Land back in 2018. I sorry,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (14:42):
Tangent. Okay. It makes sense in that answer because it’s like one of my questions. Damn,

Morgan Quaid (14:51):
You got to think of another one, bro. That’s the deal. And I haven’t thrown to you yet. Just keep thinking.

Sheydin Dew (14:56):
That’s alright. Think about something of cheese. I’ll answer that

Morgan Quaid (14:59):
Cheese related question. Yeah, you can just see the attention to detail with the color, the cover as well. And apologies if it’s not one that you like, but my immediate thought was Paper Girls in terms of image comic,

Sheydin Dew (15:13):
I’ve got that up here too. That was another inspiration of mine.

Morgan Quaid (15:18):
Colors and everything, and they’re just so vibrant and yeah, it just stands and the cover that you’ve done as well on the remastered version just stands right out. It’s great. Thank you.

Sheydin Dew (15:28):
Thank you. Yeah, yeah,

Morgan Quaid (15:29):
It’s quite a

Sheydin Dew (15:31):
Contrast

Morgan Quaid (15:32):
For Marketing Peeps. That’s super important. Your cover’s got to pull off and it’s also, it’s simple enough that when it’s small, I think it would work really well as well as when you see the whole thing, which is sometimes something that I’ve noticed. We do really detailed, super detailed, great looking covers, but then when you see it on a screen, sorry, a million people are beeping me. I dunno why. Yeah, it may not look as good when it’s small, but anyway, I’m just going on on now. So we won’t go back to cheese just yet. What sort of characters do you identify with? So loosely we could say, okay, this genre might be Slice of Life or although that’s pretty broad, but what kind of characters are you drawn to? What kind of protagonists, villains, stories are you drawn to?

Sheydin Dew (16:28):
Okay. It definitely resonates a lot with villains that have a very interesting backstory. I like how, especially in Marble, you hear the villains backstories and you’re just like, okay, they’re low key, kind of makes sense. I’m really drawn to villains who have a very credible backstory and it’s just like, okay, I can actually understand why they’re doing that. And you actually kind of feel a little bit sorry for them and you kind of understand why they’re doing these things. So for villains, that’s something that I really want to try and definitely illustrate in the upcoming volumes of No Man’s Land. So that’s something I’m really looking forward to for protagonists, especially within No Man’s Land and a lot of my upcoming projects as well, really strong females, I really want to illustrate them more as someone who actually who’s been doing boxing in MMA for about two and a half years, that’s something that’s grown particularly really strong within me and something that I really want to put down on paper. Wait,

Morgan Quaid (17:44):
Wait, wait, what? Hang on now. Hang on. That’s not a normal thing. We started with cheese, now we’re in middle, we,

Sheydin Dew (17:55):
Yeah.

Morgan Quaid (17:56):
Tell us a little bit about that. What got you into that side of things?

Sheydin Dew (18:00):
Oh, okay. That’s a story and a half. Okay. Well go back to about 2016. I actually recreationally did pole dancing and we used to get a personal trainer in every term for pole dancing. And he brought in these focus myths and boxing gloves and he is like, all right, for a minute we’re going to go real hard, go ham. And I loved it. And he’s like, you should pick up boxing. You seem like you’re really into it. I was like, oh yeah, okay. And I still do pole dancing, but then actually my friend who’s actually Canadian, I used to work with her before Cheese, and she was like, oh, I go to yoga and they’ve got boxing classes at this gym that I go to. And I was like, I’ve never been to a gym, I’ve never been on a treadmill and I wasn’t really interested in the gym.

(18:51)
I kind of just went to the gym for these classes and I started doing, it’s essentially boxer size, so it’s really cardio intensive, so they focus more on how many reps you can put in kind of thing rather than technique. And that was fine. That was a lot of fun. And then when I rented the studio space to do men’s land remastered here, the guy that I sat across from his name was Duncan, and he was a mad artist. He was so cool. Props to Duncan. Anyway, Duncan actually did boxing back in Sydney before he moved to Adelaide. And he saw that I was getting into this boxing at my gym and he was just like, oh, have you got all the proper equipment? I was like, oh no, I’m kind of just borrowing for now. And he’s just like, there’s a rebel downstairs from where we were renting the office.

(19:49)
And so he is like, I’ll help you pick out your stuff and whatnot. And then he then went on to help train me, do all the footwork and stuff like that, that was involved. Oh wow, that’s really cool. So that was really cool. And then I remember going back to yoga one day at the same club, at the same gym, I mean with my friends, and we were talking about boxing or something came up about boxing, and my yoga instructor then heard and she said, oh, did you know there’s a boxing and there’s an actual club here in Mount Barker where I live now? And I was like, no, how did I not know about this? And she was just like, yeah, they actually do all the technique and stuff like that. And they also do MMA. And I was kind of getting into MMA at the time, and lo and behold, the actual owner of the boxing club was coming into yoga that day. And I turned around and she said, oh, speak of the devil. Here’s Alex right now. And I turned around and there is this six foot marry guy right behind me,

(20:49)
My yoga instructor. She was like, oh, Alex, why don’t you walk in now? This young lady’s interested in joining your club. And she’s just looking down at me and she’s just like, oh god. So that’s the whole story and how I came to be doing boxing and MA.

Morgan Quaid (21:07):
So hence you are attracted to female, strong female characters. Strong with a bit of punch.

Sheydin Dew (21:14):
Yeah, with a bit of punch for sure. Yeah. Yeah, that’s exactly it. But I really enjoy a, I mean I think really it needs to be shown in any kind of story is the character development. So I really like doing strong contrasts. I mean you probably can see it in my illustration anyway, but strong contrast of character development is really important to me. It’s like having someone who’s not particularly courageous or strong in the beginning and then kind of flourishes to be something that you don’t really expect at the end. It’s something that I kind really strive for, I guess.

Morgan Quaid (21:54):
Oh, cool. Right. Wow. Okay. That’s awesome.

Sheydin Dew (21:59):
Sorry, a bit of a tangent for

Morgan Quaid (22:00):
A, oh no, it’s always a good thing. So talking about different styles. So as I was saying earlier, there’s the style in no man’s land, there’s the style of some of your prints and some of the stuff that you’ve got on Instagram, which I dunno what it is, if it’s layered prints or something, or if it’s watercolor or it’s they’re female sort of profiles. They’re really beautiful, but I dunno how you are doing them. Thank

Sheydin Dew (22:30):
You, thank you.

Morgan Quaid (22:32):
I dunno how to describe ’em. They’re just really, really nice sort of black ink and then with two or three colors on the Yeah,

Sheydin Dew (22:43):
It’s all digital art. I actually do all of my art and no man’s land on this bad boy. This is a sixth generation iPad and the first generation pencil and that’s it. I did do no man’s land the very first No Man’s land. I did it a bit differently. So as I said, I was doing my thesis on basically the traditional printed comics and digital comics and I kind of want to show that in the actual comic itself. So as you can see, all the line art is brush pen, it’s all traditionally inked. And then I was like, that’s really cool. It kind of covers the traditional comics. And then I was like, all right, how am I going to color this? Am I going to leave it black or white? What am I going to do? And I decided on coloring it and I was like, why don’t I bring in a digital aspect into the illustration?

(23:39)
So not only is the thesis covering traditional and digital, so is the comic. So it is all digitally colored. So I scanned it all and then I colored it in Photoshop. And then I think it was in 2019, I bought my iPad and I discovered procreate. And I love procreate. I don’t ever get off from a few big, so I do all my artwork on my iPad. So essentially just I really want the colors to speak for themselves. If you have seen my Instagram, you see that I bounce a lot, I bounce within a lot of different styles. I think that’s something that I really love about my style or lack of, I guess, is that I’m not actually bounded by one. I experimented with a lot of different ones, whether that be just sketchbooks or if that is watercolor, I’ve got a bit of watercolor on there as well, or within digital, it’s quite realistic. And then it bounces to this really cartoony or anime style or really block printed like you said, which is some of the recent stuff that I’ve been really experimenting with and loving. So there you go.

Morgan Quaid (24:57):
It is really cool. Yeah, you can kind of see to me, and I’m the same sort of thing, but with writing you kind of see you moving from one interest to another and I want to try this thing now and I want to try that. And at certain moments in time, you can see you’re really keen on certain styles of artwork, which is great to see because all fresh and new and really, really cool. And I’m amazed that they’re digital. I swear. I thought surely there’s a tie dye thing or a screen print or something. But now that you say digital, I think, okay. Yeah, magic,

Sheydin Dew (25:34):
Funny digital. It’s funny that you say screen printing because I’m actually doing screen printing on the side as a business, as a little side hustle. I screen print T-shirts now.

Morgan Quaid (25:44):
So

Sheydin Dew (25:45):
That’s a bit of something that I’ve been experimenting with as well. So that might actually be the reason why you see a lot of the block printed artwork recently anyway.

Morgan Quaid (25:53):
Right. Well, we’re going to take a severe left turn, and I’m giving you a heads up sizzle. Your question comes next, but the severe left turn, and this is a first, I’ve not asked anyone this question. I’ve had it on the list, but for some reason it was the wrong list. So I’ve got it on the right list now. And you can go as deeper as shallow as you’d like with this. What is the tattoo that you would love to get but you would never get? What would that look like for you? Something that you just think, man, if I just went all out, that’s what I would get. And how crazy would that look or not? That’s a crazy question.

Sheydin Dew (26:38):
It’s funny that you say that. I’ve actually drawn this

Morgan Quaid (26:41):
Before. Oh, wow.

Sheydin Dew (26:43):
Yeah, but I mean, I need to say this first. Definitely. I’m so scared of needles. Every time I have to go get blood drawn, I have to tell the lady, I’m like, I need to lay down. You’re going to want me to lay down kind of thing. Yeah, I am so scared of needles, so I can’t do tattoo as much as I’d love to. I think they look sick. I’d love to have a full sleeve. I think that would really be the cherry on top for an amateur boxer like me. But if I could have a tattoo, if you’ve seen on my Instagram, there is a red illustration with a lady who has a blue tattoo of a Japanese temple down her neck. I wouldn’t actually have the temple down my neck. I’d probably have it down my back. I really love Japanese wallpaper art or Japanese art in general. So you see that quite a lot.

Morgan Quaid (27:45):
Oh, I can see it in my artwork.

Sheydin Dew (27:48):
Cherry blossom. There’s actually an illustration that’s on my business cards now, and it’s pink and blue. It’s actually called No Strings Attached, and it’s of the back of a lady and she’s got a cherry blossom up her back. I think that’d be really cool as well. But anything to do with Japanese culture, I think it’d be really cool without offending the culture at all. I think it’s a really beautiful part of the world, so I wouldn’t want to do any harm, but I really admire it.

Morgan Quaid (28:19):
And you can kind of see in a lot of the art that you’ve done, maybe by proxy, a lot of your characters do have really beautiful tattoo work in there. So it’s kind of like that’s how you do it. If you don’t, the other thing you could do, just an idea, feel free to run with it. I’m sure it’ll make millions. Print yourself a shirt with a sleeve thing on it with your artwork on there. And then you can go boxing and just have the sleeve. And you don’t have any pain. You don’t have any needles, but you can still kick heads.

Sheydin Dew (28:52):
That’s it. Yeah. Good idea. Good idea.

Morgan Quaid (28:55):
All right. There’s a little time for your question, bud. What do you got?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (28:58):
Okay, what have I got? Sorry, I was so involved in the conversation. I forgot I had to have a question at the end of it. I did have a question at the beginning that I was curious about with no means land. Now I know it was part of a thesis and part of a university thing, but actually how did you come up with that exact story? I know you’ve got the roller blades and everything and you explained that part, but I mean more the, I’m wording this question really badly. I help me out, Morgan, can I do that

Morgan Quaid (29:32):
Use more? Can you

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (29:34):
Help? Can I help you? Is what I’m trying to say the exact story itself without having to go into the exact story and ruin it

Sheydin Dew (29:44):
Particular

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (29:44):
Story. You choose that. Yeah.

Sheydin Dew (29:47):
Okay. Okay. So the particular story. Okay. When I was in my third and final year of my Bachelor, I remember going into class, I used to have these really late night classes because the place where I used to study is called CDW Studios. So they do a lot of concept artwork for games and movies. So yeah, it wasn’t anything about comics at all, which was really interesting that I went down this route. So essentially, I remember very distinctly this one girl who I became really good friends with, her name was Ri, and she was a figure skater. And during the summer months, she used to come into class on roller blades to help her practice. And I remember seeing these roller blades and I was just like, oh my God, I can’t remember the last time I skated. And I really wanted to. And I used to have about 45 minutes between the ends of my class and when my bus arrived, so I had a lot of time to kill. And this girl convinced me to buy probably the crappiest pair of roller blades from Rebel. Do not recommend.

(31:01)
And I actually remember, because I’ve got insanely small feats, I actually purchased kid size roller skates. I didn’t fit into the adult ones, so I saved a lot money. But anyway, I would roll into class with her. And then after class we would have 40, 45 minutes to just skate around Rundel Moore, which is in the CBD of the city. And at the time, I was also doing e-commerce as my elective and marketing. And as much as I loved them, I don’t know how I pulled through on the E-commerce one because that was insanely dry. And I remember sitting in a lecture and I was doodling on my page as I almost always would in this class. And I came up with this character who had very blunt bangs and two space buns. And I was like, oh, what kind of name would I give her?

(31:59)
Would I give her a real kickass name? And I was like, no, I’m going to call her Gwen, all the names. I’m going to call her Gwen. And so I would just make these little characters. And then the second character that I made was actually Willow, and she was actually inspired by, I think her name is Noodles from the Gorillas. Do you remember the band Gorillas? It’s a character where her fringe covers her eyes. And I thought it was so cool. And I love the gorillas. I love their whole style, I love their whole marketing thing, I love them, everything about ’em. And I really liked this character. And I was like, oh, I kind of want a character that kind of looks a bit similar, is a bit quirky like her. And so I Willow and then Maisie came along as well, and I had this trio of characters on my page by the end of this lecture. And I was like, oh, that’d be kind of cool if I could put ’em into a story. And then I looked at my roller blades that was sitting on the floor and I was like, that’d be kind of cool if they would roller blade. So I created No Men’s Land the following year.

Morgan Quaid (33:00):
Wow, that’s really cool.

Sheydin Dew (33:03):
So the reason why I made it was just coincidence, pure coincidence, the stars

Morgan Quaid (33:10):
One. And there’s kind of a real world thing there because you were kind of in a club with two of you that were rollerblading around. Yes.

Sheydin Dew (33:18):
Yeah. And it’s funny that you say that. I’m actually a part of a Facebook group here in Adelaide that do roller skating, and I remember seeing them go from about a hundred members and now they’re almost at 3000 members. So I think roller skating has really picked up in popularity in the last three, four years maybe. So it’s quite interesting to see the whole culture, how everything old becomes new again. So yeah,

Morgan Quaid (33:48):
I hear what you’re saying. Yeah, sizzle and I need to get ourselves some skates and yes.

Sheydin Dew (33:54):
Oh my God, yes.

Morgan Quaid (33:57):
How’s your health insurance isle all ready to go? I’ve got the highest cover. Let’s get awesome. Because when you need it, wow, there you go. That’s really cool. Knee or that shoulder or that elbow? It’s all good. You’ll be fine. We’ll be fine. We’ll just get full padding everywhere. Full padding, bubble wrap. Bubble bubble

Sheydin Dew (34:18):
Wrap. That’s it. Yeah.

Morgan Quaid (34:20):
So there, let’s go deep again. Is there an idea or a concept that’s come to you or that you’ve been playing around with or you’ve sketched that is either too out there or too daunting or too far in the future that you’re still toying with but you haven’t done it yet and you’re willing to share? These are

Sheydin Dew (34:43):
Fantastic questions. I’m really glad that you asked this because in my third and final year of university, I was very close to not actually going with an idea of no men’s land. I was very close on going another route in uni. I had a lot of different friends who did a lot of different degrees, and I made friends with this 30-year-old guy who was bald. He had tattoos and he looked really, really scary. And then I met him through another friend of mine and it turned out that he did philosophy and I would never have guessed it. And he put me onto this documentary, which was really interesting. And it’s called The Collapse. I don’t know if you guys have ever heard of it, but stars Michael c Rupert, and Michael was an old CIA agent in America. And he talks a lot about the collapse of civilization, which is a very dark concept.

(35:44)
And I remember being absolutely infatuated with this whole theory, or I dunno, everybody called him like a doomsayer kind of thing. He unfortunately passed away, but I really felt what he was saying in this documentary, and I was just like, wow, how we import food from different continents and whatnot, and how he’s really localized everything and reduce fossil fuels. And he talked heavily about this concept called peak oil, and I thought that was really interesting. So kind of think of Mad Max where there’s that kind of dystopian kind of thing. So I had an idea and I was going to call it entropy.

Morgan Quaid (36:32):
Great name. A really good name.

Sheydin Dew (36:36):
So whether or not I go ahead with it in the future, it is going to be quite a long story. So that’s why I kind of veered away from that. I have sketched out the characters. And it’s actually really interesting that you asked that question because in the last week or two, I’ve been thinking a lot about it and I’ve been reverting back to my notes that I’ve made back in 2017. I think it’s on the cards for sure.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:01):
Xavier, Charles, Xavier, hiding.

Morgan Quaid (37:06):
Well, I’m just putting it out there. You ever want to bounce any ideas off? Anyone? Give me a call. That is right down my alley, that stuff. Oh

Sheydin Dew (37:14):
Really? Okay.

Morgan Quaid (37:18):
Absolutely.

Sheydin Dew (37:19):
It’s something like the story, I’m really having trouble fleshing out the story and making it credible and believable kind of thing. So I’ve watched that documentary series probably five times, trying to drawing the actual documentary, taking notes as well, and then doing my own research on Michael Rupert. So I dunno. It’s really interesting, I think, and something that hits very close to home, especially nowadays with everything that’s going on in the world. So yeah.

Morgan Quaid (37:50):
Yeah, globalization, even the Ukraine situation with the food shortages potentially coming and yeah, this the whole thing. Yeah, you and I need to get virtual coffee and make chat because this stuff is super exciting and it’s even more exciting if I can talk with you about it and I don’t have to draw it. That’s great.

Sheydin Dew (38:10):
Perfect.

Morgan Quaid (38:11):
Yeah, I could just do the fun bit. That is really cool. That is great idea. And I should say, yeah, go for it. For sure. Yeah, definitely spend the next 10 years doing that. Absolutely. I can say that because I don’t have to invest in That is really cool though. That is a really cool idea. And I like it as well, because it’s very, very different to what you’re currently doing, which is kind of nice. Yeah, very.

Sheydin Dew (38:39):
It’s funny because the actual story in my mind plays out around a strong young woman, so that’s another theme that I carry in from no man’s land. I think so.

Morgan Quaid (38:51):
Absolutely. Absolutely. So what’s some of the more challenging aspects of comics, drawing, design, that whole area?

Sheydin Dew (39:04):
Self-criticism is a big one. I think something that a lot of artists struggle with having studied in such a saturated school of a lot of artists. So CDW studios would turn a corner and you would see someone’s art and you’d be like, oh my God, is that amazing? I wish I could do that. And so the whole point of you going to this art school, you kind of beat yourself out a little bit, but that was the whole point of the school. Definitely. No bad regards to CDW Studios. I think what they do is amazing and they put a lot of artists in the same space, and that only just makes you grow and get bigger. But unfortunately with the good comes a bad and you become a lot more, I remember becoming a lot more self-critical before, after I came from high school, and I was just like, is this normal? What am I doing? But I think if you can balance it out, you can use it in a good way kind of thing, definitely. So you can really grow from it and learn from it.

(40:13)
I think the thing that helps you with it is not taking everything to heart at the end of the day, as much as I love Newland, it’s just a comic it. And yeah, the world’s not going to stop if no one likes it kind of thing. As long as I’ve had fun creating it, and my end goal was to create it and make it better, which I did with the remastered copy, and that’s all that matters really. I think we get very stuck in this world where we post online as a comic artist and a business owner, you have to put your name out there, but you get stuck on who likes it and who doesn’t. So I don’t know, I think that’s one of the biggest challenges I think a lot of artists struggle with. So

Morgan Quaid (41:01):
Yeah, I’d say so. It’s a pretty common one. That one. Yeah. Pretty common one. I think it’s the sure one. Yeah, it’s a very common one. Alright, we’re going to get to the two questions that every guest gets asked. It’s become expected, don’t prepare, because anyway, I’ll just say them. They’re not going to be what you expect. So first thing, you’re in a car going through the McDonald’s, drive-through in the back of the car is a protagonist from No Man’s Land or one of the characters, whichever character you want is in the back. What are they ordering or what are you ordering on their behalf? That’s question number one.

Sheydin Dew (41:46):
I’m ordering them. Do I say who it is?

Morgan Quaid (41:49):
Yeah, yeah. You’ve got to say who it is. Okay.

Sheydin Dew (41:52):
In the back seat of my car, I have all three members of the NIMS team, which are all vegan, and they get a large fries and coke.

Morgan Quaid (42:07):
There we go. Good answer. We’ve never had three in the back of this. We’ve never had

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:14):
Three. It’s a party,

Sheydin Dew (42:18):
It’s a crowd.

Morgan Quaid (42:20):
And then the next question, the one that Australia wants to know the answer to at this moment in time, where you are right now, what is the combination of your favorite movie and your favorite food? What would that look like for you? Not from all time, but at the moment, just right now.

Sheydin Dew (42:40):
What would it look like?

Morgan Quaid (42:42):
Well, in other words, what’s your favorite movie and what are you eating while you’re watching your favorite

Sheydin Dew (42:47):
Movie? Oh, okay. Okay, okay, gotcha. What is my favorite movie and what am I eating, watching it? Is that correct? Yeah,

Morgan Quaid (42:54):
Just at the moment though. Yeah, moment.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:56):
Just at the moment. It doesn’t have to be your all time favorite. Just your favorite in this moment in time

Sheydin Dew (43:02):
And just like that all of my movies have gone out of my head.

Morgan Quaid (43:07):
Yeah, I know. That’s why we say at the moment, not all time exactly what happens, it just disappears.

Sheydin Dew (43:14):
Okay. So my favorite movie at this point in time that I’ve binge watched a little too much that I’m prepared to say is 10 Things I Hate About You. Alright,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:26):
Nice.

Sheydin Dew (43:28):
I really like Korean Fried Chicken. My partner is South Korean and he makes a lot of it at home, so I’d probably be eating that. So 10 things I Hate About You and South Korean. Fried chicken.

Morgan Quaid (43:40):
Fried Chicken

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:41):
Sounds good.

Morgan Quaid (43:42):
That’s a good combo. Sounds

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:43):
Like a good night.

Morgan Quaid (43:45):
It’s a spicy combo. Alright, so before we get to the gifts portion of the night, which you’re probably not aware of, but surprise, surprise here,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:57):
It gifts. Yes. Someone who doesn’t know this bit excellent

Morgan Quaid (44:00):
And get your expectation really low, real low beneath the floor because they’re not great, but they’re coming. So before we do that, where can people go to buy your comics, support your stuff, do you do commissions, any of that sort of stuff where? Where’s the best place to go to grab your stuff?

Sheydin Dew (44:22):
Best place to find me and my artwork is probably my website, which is@shadedart.com. That’s S-H-E-Y-D-E-D-A r.com. If not, you can always jump onto my Instagram. I’m pretty much mostly active on that platform. And there you can also find all of my links to my online store and much more.

Morgan Quaid (44:44):
Oh, cool. Fantastic. Thank you very much. All right, so here we are. So basically what we do is we have a rule. I’ll let you choose Morgan, who do you want first? You go first because I’ve seen mine. Or do you want me to go first? Is that what you’re saying? No, no, I Either way. I’m just giving you the choice. Giving you the choice. I’ll just explain the rules so that we’re all clear and the rules. I think I change accidentally every time, but essentially what we do every time, every time we have to grab a character of yours or something that you’ve done, and then we draw it by hand. No pencils, no drafts, oops. Yep. Breaks that one every week. I break that rule every week straight in there, and I think 10 minutes is the max, but it’s either five or 10 minutes.

(45:33)
I can’t remember what it’s 10. It was originally 10. Then you said five. And I’m like, what the hell happened? And then it was 10 again and it was five. I’m like, pressure, pressure, pressure. So I’m taking tough an hour from now on because there are no rules. Well, for starters, let me just for you, Shannon, because you’re not aware of this yet. But for starters, no less than on three occasions, he has rung in a professional artist to do it on his behalf because he ran out of time. I have never had that privilege. I have to do it myself with these fumbling hands. Anyway. So we’re going to present these pictures to you and they’re yours to keep. We’ll send you a digital copy of those You can do, you burn them, you can put them on a pillowcase and have them by your side as you dream. Whatever you want, and apologies in advance for what’s coming. All right, let’s have a look at the first one. Here we go. Are you first? Oh, microphone. Microphone just went. I’m so excited. It fainted. It fainted. Okay, we’re going to start with Morgan’s. All right, here we go. Apologies, because he didn’t break the rules.

Sheydin Dew (46:40):
Oh my God. You’ve got the nose and the lips down pat. I love it.

Morgan Quaid (46:48):
So the first thing about this was it was looking very, very bad for a long, long time when I first started, and it was looking to the point where people are going to get offended if I do this thing. So anyway, it came a little bit better towards the end. What I love most about this, which is a nice point of connection with what you were talking about earlier on, is looking at the profile. This was the first time I’ve done a profile where I haven’t done a circle first. Exactly what you were saying. I saw. I started with the eyes.

Sheydin Dew (47:19):
Oh my God.

Morgan Quaid (47:20):
Yeah, yeah. And I saw the way you did the nose, and I thought, hang on out. There’s two dimensions there already. And yeah, it was great. So I learned a little bit, and she’s blowing bubbles. I don’t know why not. I

Sheydin Dew (47:32):
Love it. I love it.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:33):
Why not?

Morgan Quaid (47:34):
Why not? Why not? Why

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:35):
Not? Well, I broke the pencil rule and I did do the 10 minute rule. I hit 10 minutes went, ah, no time to ink. So it’s just pencils.

Morgan Quaid (47:45):
Oh, just pencils. That’s all right though. Oh,

Sheydin Dew (47:51):
Is that Harper? That is sick. I love it. I love it. Oh my God.

Morgan Quaid (47:57):
Ilow. I love the smiling face too.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:00):
Well, she has that in her name on where I sort of got this pose from almost identically, almost traced, but it wasn’t traced. I’ll just put that out there. It wasn’t traced. Oh,

Morgan Quaid (48:12):
Better not be. You

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:13):
Can probably tell it’s not traced by the fact that I drew the bat. It’s meant to be resting on a shoulder, and I drew the line and went, that’s nowhere near her shoulder. No,

Sheydin Dew (48:20):
She’s just ready to

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:21):
Swing. Well just keep going. Just keep going. Shane. She’s ready to swing.

Morgan Quaid (48:24):
That’s resting on the back of that. I like the dimensions too, dude. At the bottom there, they appear closer to the camera and yeah, it’s cool. It’s cool. Dude, you have

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:33):
Some

Sheydin Dew (48:33):
Really nice perspective going there. Love it. Love it. Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:37):
All accidental,

Morgan Quaid (48:39):
But thanks. There you go. Gift for you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you very much for sharing your time with us, and thank you for digging deep with everything from cheese to MMA, to color theory to philosophy, to the end of days, to everything. It’s been a real treat.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:58):
It’s

Sheydin Dew (48:58):
Been my pleasure.

Morgan Quaid (49:00):
Great. It’s been great having you here. And now we’re going to move to the final section

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:05):
Next. Thank you very much.

Morgan Quaid (49:07):
Thanks, Shaden. We’ll talk a bit. Talk. All right, here we go. Any minute now. Hey,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:22):
What have we read this week? Well, I’m going to cheat. I’m going to start, I’m going to talk about what I did read today. I reread this, so I’m going to cheat and we’re going to go straight back to what we were talking about already. People.

Morgan Quaid (49:36):
Nice.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:37):
I’m trying to, does this have the link on here so it’s easier to see? No, it doesn’t. Yes it does. You need to go if this will focus

Morgan Quaid (49:48):
There. Yeah, yeah, we can see it. Yep.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:53):
Go there, get this.

Morgan Quaid (49:56):
Go to the place.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:57):
Awesome. And I love that. I just found out today that the different color schemes in the different areas was not in my imagination. It was actually happening for real. Very cool story. I could go into it, but then it just tells the story.

Morgan Quaid (50:18):
Yeah, we don’t don’t want to ruin up people.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:20):
We don’t want to ruin up. But basically there’s these girls that are, from what I can imagine, they’re roller skaters or whatever you call the blades. I forget what you call the blade ones. They’re called something different. They still called roller skaters, whatever. The roller skates with only two wheels instead of four, which I grew up with. Just Yes. That’s how old I’m, they had four when I was growing up. So these are the roller skates that came in when I started university in the nineties.

Morgan Quaid (50:51):
Nice.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:53):
But they had four as well, but they’re in one line, so these are even newer. There’s only two of them. So just getting less and less. There’s going to be one wheel soon, probably a thing already, anyway.

Morgan Quaid (51:05):
Oh, you said one wheel. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. I love it. Let’s patent it. Let’s go on Fish tank or Shark Tank or whatever.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:18):
Shark Tank. Yeah, let’s do it. The

Morgan Quaid (51:20):
Mono. Mono, yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:23):
There seems to be three girls in each group. There’s a name for it in there. I’ve forgotten what it is.

Morgan Quaid (51:31):
Tried. They’ve got their own

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:31):
Areas. Team, team, club, whatever

Morgan Quaid (51:37):
Would just be shaking her head.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:39):
Oh, she is? Oh, no,

Morgan Quaid (51:41):
No, no, she’s not. But I’m saying she should be.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:44):
I’m ruining her book. Anyway, fight it. There we go.

Morgan Quaid (51:47):
That get it. It’s

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:49):
Awesome. I’ve ordered two. I’m waiting for that to come as well, so that’s awesome. Three apparently is in the works, so

Morgan Quaid (51:58):
I just ordered one and I just ordered one and two myself. Ba you’ll,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:03):
You’ll be glad you did. Awesome. Awesome art, awesome story. The dialogue’s really cool as well. I’m really well thought out. You’ll love it. So that’s what I’ve read today because I was preparing for tonight instead of doing my normal reading, some other book that’s totally unrelated to the show. I never do that. I never use the one that’s been, anyway. No,

Morgan Quaid (52:25):
Of course not.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:26):
What else have we got up here? Nothing. Okay. So what I’m going to do is have you got anything that you’ve read? No, you haven’t have. You

Morgan Quaid (52:34):
Haven’t. I’ve got heap of stuff. I’ve read so many. I’ve read so many this week. But I think it’s more important that we highlight maybe some Aussie Kickstarters that are going and we not just bother with the pile of Aussie things that I definitely read this week. We can cover them next week. Roller

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:49):
Blade. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Jamie.

Morgan Quaid (52:53):
What would I think that word?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:55):
I dunno why I couldn’t think of that worked. We got it Nicely done and well done for our pictures too. Just thought I’d throw that.

Morgan Quaid (53:04):
Oh, Dave,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:05):
Dave,

Morgan Quaid (53:09):
Can I call myself an artist now? Is that a thing? I can do that surely. I’m an artist.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:15):
Put artist on your thing now. Yeah, I’m going to do it too.

Morgan Quaid (53:19):
Sweet. Open for commissions

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:21):
Artist. I love it. Anyway, I need to go back here to this so I can bring up this picture.

Morgan Quaid (53:28):
Kickstarter,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:30):
Kickstarter people. Vivian Jones. I’ll bring up the link as well. I’m pretty sure I’ve got it here. Yes, I do. vivian.com, X studio, that’ll get you to Vivian Jones. Vivian Jones, a cult detective. This is a world of giraffe headed people. There’s down giraffes, Aren people. They’re just people with giraffe heads.

Morgan Quaid (53:52):
It’s the

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:52):
Whole world. It’s not just Vivian.

Morgan Quaid (53:55):
And also

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:57):
He was in a ritual of some sort as a younger age where he was newly killed. That’s the scar on his eye.

(54:05)
This was a magical ritual. And he’s grown up to become an occult detective, and this is all about, I think one of his cases is somehow linked. I could be getting this wrong. Correct me if I’m wrong, Zach, if you’re watching, I believe from memory, because I’ve read so many bits and pieces of this, now that I’m starting to lose track of which bits I’ve read, it relates back to the original witch who did him his damage. So find out what it’s all about. He needs your love. So tell your parents. Tell your parents dog. Tell them to tell the cat and the budgie, and hopefully it’ll get through to the draft people who will support this as well. This needs some love people who are sitting at 50% with 20 days to go. So show this one some love, even if it’s just sharing it to other people who will get some, a cult detective. Love into them.

Morgan Quaid (55:00):
Thank you. Need to get that control. I’m on

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (55:02):
The wrong screen to take the picture off.

Morgan Quaid (55:07):
Nice.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (55:08):
I get lost in my rants.

Morgan Quaid (55:11):
That’s all right, man. It’s passion. It’s good. It’s what we want. Giraffes, murder giraffes. So there is

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (55:17):
Murder, which is not to ruin the book, but it opens on a decapitation.

Morgan Quaid (55:24):
Yeah. He’s not the kind of detective that is just following up on potential divorce claims and infidelity and such. Exactly. Exactly. I mean, sure. That’s a great story. Not as interesting as occult stuff and demonic things and stuff. Vare vampires. Do you

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (55:42):
Want to see what a vampire draft person looks like?

Morgan Quaid (55:46):
Yeah. I’ll tell you what it looks like. It looks like this. Get it because they’re super tall and see, it would be looking up at them. It’s

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (55:55):
A perspective thing. No, that’s a mistake I made as well. I thought they were super tall, but their necks are only twice the length of a normal human, so they’re only slightly taller than a human.

Morgan Quaid (56:02):
Can I tell you something for me? That’s still not at tall dude.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:09):
Yeah, not tall dude, either. So six foot dude, still look it. UPT Neck is going to be really tall to me too. Yes,

Morgan Quaid (56:15):
But if you want to find out about the whole neck thing, you just got to get in and support the campaign. That’s the way it goes.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:23):
Oh, I described it well, so I’m not remembering it right. I read so many books. I’m starting to blend them. It’s really bad. Thanks, Zach.

Morgan Quaid (56:31):
Nice. All right. Go team. Well,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:36):
I haven’t got a picture for this one, but I’ll just throw it out there. It’s doing really well, but SPEDs is good part of the team, so we will support old

Morgan Quaid (56:43):
SL and ose.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:45):
So get some moose, get some sluggish and get some devil’s toilet all in one campaign. sped.com, max studio. That’ll get you over to his

Morgan Quaid (56:57):
Sweet. I think he said his second stretch goal. There’s stretch goals. Go on left, right, and center. You’ll

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:03):
Have to tell me because I haven’t been watching very carefully. I’ve been very busy, man, today.

Morgan Quaid (57:08):
Yeah, I’ve been busy reading all these Aussie comics back

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:10):
Here and turn that off.

Morgan Quaid (57:14):
Sweet. Like clockwork.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:16):
Like clockwork. Well oiled machines.

Morgan Quaid (57:20):
Well oiled machine. Are you ready for this?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:23):
I’m slipping all over the place on the oil.

Morgan Quaid (57:26):
Well, you’re slipping around on your mono blade. Mono blade.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:29):
Mono. Mono blade. Nice.

Morgan Quaid (57:32):
That’s a good name. I mean, we will get sued to high heaven because of the people injuries and stuff, but good name. Maybe we do it. We do the mono blade, but they all come with training wheels and they’re mandatory.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:48):
No, no. Better yet a legal document signing away all their rights to sue us.

Morgan Quaid (57:54):
Nothing sells better for kids and parents than a legal document that you have to sign. That’s a disclaimer. When you buy a thing that could injure you, that sells itself.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (58:05):
What a treat It does. We don’t have to do any work. It’s just going to happen.

Morgan Quaid (58:09):
I’m there. I’m there. Let’s me fund it. Let’s kickstart it. Let’s do it. I don’t want to have to be involved with logistics though. We’ll get someone else to do that.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (58:20):
Yeah, we’ll get someone else. Sp, he’s good for doing odd jobs.

Morgan Quaid (58:24):
He can do all the hard stuff. He’s good for odd jobs. All right, so you’ve got about 20 seconds in your mind to run through the sign off, and we’re going to give it a go. Remember,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (58:39):

Morgan Quaid (58:44):

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (58:45):
Like and subscribe. I believe they’re below this picture or they’re to the side or the other side, I’m not sure. Depends if you’re looking in Facebook or YouTube or Twitter, because we blast out to all those places.

Morgan Quaid (58:58):
That’s

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (58:59):
Video.

Morgan Quaid (59:01):
That’s not the sign off though.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:03):
Sorry.

Morgan Quaid (59:04):
That’s the ding ding bell. We’ve got to remind people. Click the bell. Do that stuff, all that. Share your friends. That’s not the sign off. The sign. The signoff is Same Comex.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:15):
Oh, that one.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:17):
Already. Okay, cool. In that case, give me a second to find the right button.

Morgan Quaid (59:21):
All right, here we go. We’re going to have to sign off. We’re going to get it right. We’re not going to fumble the words.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:26):
No, we’re not. We’re not going to get it right. I never get it right.
