Segar in 1938. My interest to discover POPEYE stories during those "lost years" after Segar's death and before Bud Sagendorf took over in the late 1950's led me to look online for actual comic strips because Scott McCullarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823467490714635906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128117.post-68732463262952626812024-02-20T10:44:00.002-06:002024-02-20T10:44:17.193-06:00New Interview with MeThere is a new interview with me conducted by Sean Taylor that has been posted at this website BAD GIRLS, GOOD GUYS, AND TWO-FISTED ACTION that focuses on my recent resurgence brining back THRILL SEEKER COMICS and my views on storytelling.Hope you enjoy.ScottScott McCullarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823467490714635906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128117.post-73527642650214648912024-02-14T09:06:00.001-06:002024-02-14T09:06:25.891-06:00 Happy Valentine's Day!

finished up this evening some of the online comic strips. Right now,
I'm getting to the end of January's artwork. I work on those comics

# 5 – I saw CASABLANCA, which is now my favorite film, while
I was a college student at Illinois State University around 1990. I saw it at
the college run movie theater at the time by myself. The movie mesmerized me and I became a lifelong Bogart fan in that moment.
# 4 – I saw THE SEVEN SAMURAI by Akira Kurosawa starring
Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura in a classroom theater Scott McCullarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823467490714635906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128117.post-53836458161495265222023-12-08T12:47:00.001-06:002023-12-08T12:53:06.476-06:00MS.

TITTENHURST Online Comic Strip is ComingIssue #2 of THRILL SEEKER COMICS ANTHOLOGY is coming along nicely. We're expanding the ongoing book from 36 pages to 52 pages. That allows the addition of a couple of more stories in each issue. I originally wanted the book to be a 100-page anthology released once a year but determined that wasn't the best way to go. While issue #1 is 36 pages, I feel we can boost it up just a bit since this bookScott McCullarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823467490714635906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128117.post-55273459450756822982023-12-05T12:44:00.002-06:002023-12-05T13:45:19.175-06:00GODZILLA MINUS ONE is a GREAT FILM!Yesterday I took the day off to take care of some personal matters and finished up early by lunchtime.

is a test. It is only a test. We're toying with the idea of doing a
THRILL SEEKER COMICS online comic strip next year featuring the Dame
Detective MS. TITTENHURST: FINDER OF LOST THINGS and testing a 3-panel
format idea like this. Would three strips a week on something like a

Mainly due to the release of my first issue of THRILL SEEKER COMICS ANTHOLOGY #1 and the traffic that I am getting. Perhaps it is the end of lockdown and hopefully putting that behind us after these last three years or so. I'm feeling more social and putting myself back out there.
