Yeah but a cup of woims could support a whole family back then, now you can barely afford to buy gas with them.

Animation? In-house???? Love to see it! If anyone was going to be able to make this work, it was going to be these guys.

A few days ago was the 10th anniversary of Right Now Kapow airing its first episode. I'm sure I'll post more about it and more clips this week but let's start with this sketch that @cozyjamble.bsky.social pitched long before we actually had a baby together www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDTA...

People keep asking me if I’m allowing myself to imagine the Knicks winning. I’ll never see the Knicks win a title because if they win, I’ll instantly be such a fundamentally different person that it won’t even really be me anymore.

I've worked at the 'big' studios. While I'm on the writing and showrunning side, none of my projects have used AI in their process. I feel confident about my designers, directors, and story artists doing the same. These folks are convincing themselves 'everyone is doing it'.

This is a real bummer. Strip Law is extremely funny and everyone should watch it

Tech companies: Add AI nonsense to everything even though it makes their product actively worse at its job. AI boosters: "Uh, if you don't like AI, you better stop using all the those tech platforms." I'd love to stop using them but they don't make stuff that doesn't suck anymore

Another cool thing about my first comic story starring Animal Man is that the first DC animation I ever co-wrote ALSO starred Animal Man. So buy "DC's I Saw Ma Hunkel Kissing Santa Claus" in stores now and watch DC Nation's "Animal Man" on youtube anytime in the last 12 years!

My first published comic story is out! Also the anthology is PACKED with great stories I was excited to read and thrilled to be in the company of. You gotta check this out if you're a fan holidays, love, or me!

I wrote a comic! I've got a ten page story in the upcoming Holliday special, DC's I Saw Ma Hunkel Kissing Santa Claus! It's out on November 26th! I've been lucky enough to write DC super heroes in animation but it feels great to finally write the "real" version of one of them!

The cover for DC's I Saw Ma Hunkel Kissing Santa Claus. It shows a very cute drawing of Ma Hunkel, if you can believe it, kissing Santa Claus

That’s great to hear! I always thought that idea was funny but in a very “I’m not sure anyone but me likes this joke” sort of way. Glad it has a fan!

That WAS me! And I definitely didn’t think it was ever going to something someone would say seriously!

Yeah king kong and the Harryhausen movies were a huge influence on me getting into animation

Marly Halpern-Graser @marlyhg.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

I met Ray Harryhausen at a film festival where I had just won a teen filmmaker award. He shook my hand, congratulated me, and was happy to hear I also made stop motion shorts (I had won for something else). Just a really nice guy!

Many of you know that Hollywood has been hit really hard by a massive downturn in production. Animation is no different, and possibly hit harder so animation workers were already hurting. Please give what you can to animation workers on this list who lost their homes: airtable.com/appugwkqKAVG...

Make sure you have a regular file of your first draft too. You probably wont need to go in there and write new stuff but you never know! (Writers tend to be hoarders of files)

Marly Halpern-Graser @marlyhg.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

Copy of the first draft! Make sure to rename it “second draft. “ That’s my vote!

I love Devil Hulk, i can add him to the list of Hulks i miss! I think Hulk is my favorite solo Marvel character

010

Marly Halpern-Graser @marlyhg.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

The “Hulk Smash” version is still my favorite but I really loved Planet Hulk so i’m always thinking, “when is The Green Scar coming back?”

010

Marly Halpern-Graser @marlyhg.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

When the heroes were battling Onslaught and Hulk asks Jean Grey to turn the Bruce Banner part of his brain off, changing him back into the old hulk, I probably stood up and cheered at my comicbook. I was 11

110

Marly Halpern-Graser @marlyhg.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

I started reading Hulk as a kid, in the middle of Peter David’s professor hulk era. But i knew about the old hulk that spoke in third person and got stronger when he got madder, and I liked him better. I wanted to return to a hulk i never even knew. Really makes you think

110

Marly Halpern-Graser @marlyhg.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Basically, because there are so many different versions of the Hulk (stronger or smarter in different combinations) the result is i’m pretty much never happy with whatever Hulk’s current deal is. I always imagine i’d like one of the other hulks better

I can’t believe there are people who are like: “Do you still think AI is stupid now that it can make an ad for Coca-Cola that’s a mashup of their previous ads that looks worse and all it costs is an acre of forest?”
