Cartoonists on talk shows

[Jimmy Kustes]

What cartoonists have you seen on talk shows? I've seen the South Park guys promoting their movie on Leno and Conan. I've also seen the kid that made Dexter and Computress get Mandark on Leno.

I saw Animaniacs animator Brian Mitchell on my local news station a couple of years ago.

Well, I guess you can count Conan as a cartoonist as well, since he wrote for the Simpsons.

The guy behind the Static Shock series was on CNN Headline news once and MSNBC as well. There was a lot of hype about it being the "first" african-american superhero cartoon series.

Good job Dwayne!

Genndy Tartakovsky was one of the Variety 50 People to Watch, has he been on any talkshows?

No, it wasn't Dwayne McDuffie. It was one of the producers. I think the guy who worked on Batman: TAS before.

Do you suppose if Craig McCracken got on any of the talk shows, it would give the PPG movie a shot in the arm?

Something for WB to think about...

I see.

Also the creator of Dilbert, Scott Adams, got a whole half-hour on the show Big Thinkers. I think they still play it every-so-often on TechTV.

Not that I know of, but he *was* profiled in a recent issue of 'The New Yorker' magazine. I posted an alert about that on the Cartoon Cartoons board; I suppose I should've put one here, too.

Well, you can still look it up in any library's Periodicals section.

Being a writer for the Simpsons does not constitue one as a cartoonist. Writing for the simpsons is like writing for any tv show, unlike the classic warner bros. days in which the writers were artists and no scripts were written! So I don't think I'd call Conan a cartoonist unless he has some drawing talent I wasn't aware of.

I've heard the comic book writers/artists for a few comic strips like "Liberty Meadows" and several alternative comic books on NPR several times... also where I heard the writers of "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay" (sp?) interviewed (a text novel about cartoonists in the late 30's creating a superhero, though it actually deals with various adult issues)...
