Welcome to my musings on life, work and the creative life amidst teaching at the Center for Cartoon Studies. Posts are illustrated when I can manage it. Myrant is just that: MYrant! I post daily, for the most part, except when deadlines and workload constrict my time.

I'm a Native Vermonter who drew and wrote from a tender age and loved dinosaurs and monsters, none of which I've ever outgrown. I graduated in 1978 as a member of the first-ever class at the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon & Graphic Art, Inc., entered the comics profession and carved out a career until my retirement from the field in 1999. I made (and left) my mark with SWAMP THING, TABOO, '1963,' and TYRANT, among others. As a writer, I've written for a variety of zines (including VIDEO WATCHDOG, DEEP RED, FANGORIA, etc.) and books (THE MONSTER BOOK: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, UNDERGROUND USA, etc.) amid occasional bouts of fiction (the Stoker Award winning novella ALIENS: TRIBES, short stories). My current pet project is GREEN MT CINEMA, dedicated to VT and New England films and filmmakers. I write constantly, draw occasionally, and now teach at the Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Jct., VT. I live with my wife Marjory, whom I love -- and I sure love my son Daniel and my daughter Maia, too.

Steve, a fun list (as they all are so far) but please note -
WHITE DOG has just been listed on the Criterion newsletter as coming out from them very shortly.
FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET is literally days away (Dec 20th) from hitting Xploited via an English-friendly, German sourced 16x9 disc taken from a vintage European theatrical print. Only 1000 copies of this new FLIES disc were apparently pressed, and the buzz of anticipation on various forums has been noisy, so betcha it will sell out quick. Xploited has stuck it up for pre-order at the following link, and a recent Mobius thread has screenshots. Not perfect, but way better than any other version that's surfaced anywhere to date. I'm getting myself one for Christmas. Grab it via the link here:

DUNSTON CHECKS IN!!!
Mark, Dunston is so NOT this year. Get with the program.
Thanks, Anthony -- Tony at Xploited is holding my copy for me, and I appreciate the heads up! Here's hoping the Criterion rumor of WHITE DOG is true. Curious, too, that both 4 FLIES and WHITE DOG were Paramount releases, as were Bakshi's COONSKIN (long overdue on DVD), William Castle's final film SHANKS with Marcel Marceau, etc.
