“I’ve been self-publishing cereal:geek magazine since the beginning of 2007. It is a 100 page glossy magazine (with NO ads) dedicated to showcasing the cartoons of the eighties. The writers and artists that contribute to cereal:geek bring with them exclusive content (none of this material has been printed in any other media before).

Issue two was originally published in the second quarter of 2007 and has been out of print ever since. As only 1000 copies were originally printed it is incredibly hard to obtain. So here I am, seeing if Kickstarter is a viable means to see if there is a demand for issue two…and maybe at the same time introduce some new people to the world of cereal:geek!

 

Issue two covers the subject of magic and science throughout the cartoons of the eighties. The main article covers many shows including Dungeons & Dragons, He-Man, She-Ra, Thundarr the Barbarian, and ThunderCats, detailing how each of them utilized magic and science to tell their stories. Jack Olesker reveals how he balanced magic and science on The New Adventures of He-Man. Another article explains how after the sci-fi-heavy first season of The Transformers the show began to delve into the realm of magic. Visionaries and Centurions (both overlooked shows) are covered. And Robert Lamb explains how magic and science worked during his time on He-Man and She-Ra. Aside from those lengthy articles there is also an in-depth history of the much-celebrated animation studio Tokyo Movie Shinsha, the changes found in MASK’s season two are highlighted, the Top Ten cartoon transformations are listed, the Rocky films are reworked as an animated series, the love triangle in the Jem series is questioned, a page full of Galaxy Rangers trivia is featured, the amazing origin story of Smurfette is revealed, and much, much more! Other shows covered include Defenders of the Earth, Galaxy High School, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Thunderbirds 2086.” .. ..

** JIM LAWSON’S ‘PALEO : THE WEB COMIC **

PALEO ..NOW ONLINE!!

• •

–>>

Jim Lawson’s work is the stuff of legends, and accolades laud his Thunder Lizard Legends, comics & stories almost as much ( if not more ) than his Turtle work !!

 

I wanted to title this post- “Paleo: the comic that is harder to kill than the actual dinosaurs themselves”, but that sort of seems to trivialize the biggest mass extinction event in our planet’s history.

Therefore, I’ll simply take this opportunity to announce the introduction of Paleo: The Webcomic.

The content is going to be familiar to anyone who has read the original books, which is to say that we are going to start off with posting issues 1-8. However the new thing (and what I hope will keep me relevant), is that you’ve never been able to read these comics on your iPhone- which is (as I understand), what all the kids like to do. In addition to the first 8 individual issues the TPB Loner story will appear on the new website.

Also, beyond all the known Paleo content, there exists a few unpublished works. With luck and a little effort, those too will be represented. .. –
