Over on Turner Classic Movies a handful of cartoonists are getting the chance to produce strips based on some classic Psychotronic movies that TCM puts out in the US on weekends as part of the TCM Underground website.
(Virtual cover from Peter Bagge’s Reefer Madness strip).
So far there are strips from Peter Bagge, Nathan Fox, Steven Saunders, Stephanie Gladden, Troy Nixey and Robert Pope. And, according to his twitter & livejournal, Evan Dorkin has one coming up soon as well:
Those of you following the Twitter feed already know that I finished up the strip I’m doing for TCM.com as part of their TCM Underground Lost Scenes feature. The Underground is the late Friday night slot where TCM airs sturdy Psychotronic cult flicks. The “Lost Scenes” themselves are 3-4 page comic strips depicting fictional lost/cut sequences from the films, my bit is a prologue sequence for 2000 Maniacs, which will be on the April TCM schedule….. Parts of it are very Murder Family, if you know what I mean.
