Comics from Tracy

In our film "Tracy" we had a scene featuring one of the characters secret comic book collection. We created over 30 original comic book covers, most of which go completely unnoticed in the 3 to 4 minute scene. For the next few months I'll post one a week so that they can finally get their due.

This is about as close to straight parody as I get, that being said, I still like it.

This Weeks New Yorker Caption Contest

I'll be out of town with no access to a computer Sunday night so no New Yorker Caption Contest entry today! I'll be back Tuesday night an I'll have to post my entry then. In the meantime, here is an interesting article about the New Yorker Caption Contest Controversy!

Someone is calling out this drawing featured in the contest a few weeks ago as being a plagiarized take on this old Jack Kirby comic.

What do you think, plagiarism or parody?



As far as I'm concerned the second you change the scared guy in the window to a relaxed guy holding a glass of wine it becomes parody. I don't understand why this is even being argued, this kind of thing is done all the time. The Wayans brothers have made a career of it.
