Owen Kline is not the most obvious underground artist. The son of Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates may be best known for his performance as the younger sibling in Noah Baumbach’s “The Squid and the Whale,” a role he landed with zero acting ambition around the age of 13. Some privileged child stars follow such an impressive early turn by growing up in the public eye and amassing a filmography that would follow them into adulthood. Others have drug-fueled meltdowns. Kline, however, interned at Anthology Film Archives, dreamed of becoming a cartoonist, and eventually embraced a form of unfiltered, rough-and-tumble filmmaking that doesn’t exactly scream commerciality. Now, at the age of 30, he’s ready to explain himself.
“I always sort of reviled show business,” Kline said in an interview over lunch this month. “It was always repugnant to me. I’m really someone who’s resistant to showing my face in general.

Allen Jenkins. Illustration by Tony Millionaire.We had a lurid fantasy life. And it was not pre-Code, it was prehistoric. Synchronized sound technology created Neanderthal Cinema, an aesthetic slouching and slack-jawed, a case of temporarily thwarted evolution. In a brief era with no accepted form and before industrial standardization, experimentation raged, and some of sound cinema's experiments were dumb, inept, or too far ahead of their time to have a prayer of working. So the exceptional and the clunking are both responses to a general ignorance about what will work. Take the split screen of sleeping sweethearts in Love Me Tonight (1932), with dream voice-overs singing on top: All we see is snoring people. Or the endless tracking shot in Cape Forlorn (1931) in which director E.A. Dupont hopes we'll be transfixed by the gradually transforming acoustics. Tod Browning is asleep in his chair for a reel of Dracula (1931) while the...

Allen Jenkins. Illustration by Tony Millionaire from the book The Depression Alphabet Primer, by Daniel Riccuito with illustrations by Tony Millionaire.
Utterly relaxed in his lumpen condition, character actor Allen Jenkins craves no self-improvement—external circumstances are a perennial cause of concern, but within his skin, everything is pronounced satisfactory. He and the world have agreed to disagree. Imagine a sad and slapdash identikit collaged from discards veering toward Neanderthal.
Overall effect: the big toe.
Jenkins excels as stooges and losers when Hollywood is choked with them. His powerhouse harnessed to stock screen personas, as if to fulfill a collective need of the 1930s, every mother’s son compressed into one hyphenate—the titan-shlump. An American type, ideal for our man Jenkins, who could explode into three dimensions and collapse again; it would serve him well throughout a fairly long career, even as his habitual boozing persisted.

With everything else getting a feature film adaptation these days, it only makes sense that the classic Sock Monkey would join in on the action! Animator Matt Danner and writer Tony Millionaire have teamed up to to bring Sock Monkey to the big screen. Millionaire is the talented guy behind the current Sock Monkey stories.
The film will be based on an upcoming storybook they made called Sock Monkey: Into The Deep Woods, which follows a stuffed hero named Uncle Gabby "as he and his doll pals venture across sea, land, and air to save their human, Ann-Louise, whom they fear has been kidnapped by a vicious monster." To show off the cinematic potential of the character, Danner wrote a script for the feature and also produced a “sneak peek” teaser clip that you can watch below. They used a hybrid of CG and live-action “digi-nette puppetry” to bring the magical story to life.

I envy anyone who is discovering the comics of Tony Millionaire for the first time. For a couple decades, Millionaire has been crafting his Victorian-inspired and intricately illustrated strip Maakies, and importing characters from that strip into the slightly more long-form Sock Monkey comics. Maakies is decidedly not kids stuff — it’s a dark, messed-up […]

After a decade and a half of comic strips and cartoons, Tony Millionaire's Eisner Award-winning sock monkey Uncle Gabby is finally heading towards the big screen outing he deserves. Animator Matt Danner (Hot Wheels, Looney Tunes) has partnered with Millionaire for an adaptation of the book Sock Monkey: Into The Deep Woods. You can check out their proof-of-concept teaser trailer below.The Sock Monkey comics deal with the adventures of the titular Uncle Gabby, a toy belonging to a girl called Ann-Louise. He shares her affections with the suicidal alcoholic Mr Crow (an alternate version of another Millionaire creation, Drinky Crow) and a fat doll with an attitude problem called Inches. The film's plot involves the toys becoming convinced that Ann-Louise has been kidnapped by a monster, so that they mount a daring rescue mission across land, sea and air to save her. Danner says it'll be more Coraline than Toy Story,...

Exclusive: Now that LEGOs and Paddington Bear have spawned their own movies, is it time for the sock monkey to venture onto the big screen? Animator Matt Danner and comics scribe Tony Millionaire (Maakies) are making the leap with their forthcoming Fantagraphics storybook Sock Monkey: Into The Deep Woods, the latest adventure in Millionaire’s Eisner Award-winning lit saga about a sock monkey named Uncle Gabby. To demonstrate the character’s cinematic potential, Danner penned a feature script and produced a “sneak peek” teaser using hybrid CG/live-action “digi-nette puppetry” to bring the surreal toy story to life.

Father Dougal has responded to calls for him to be the next Pope.
The Father Ted character has emerged from hiding on Craggy Island after 15 years to back the Facebook campaign calling for his appointment to lead the Roman Catholic Church.

"This is great! Obviously very excited. Had no idea I was in the running, to be honest," said Dougal.
"If I am made Pope the first thing I will do is make Sunday a recognised day of worship. Hurray!"
The Facebook fan page has amassed over 16,000 likes since its creation last month.
The community calls for the controversial appointment "because nobody else could concentrate so hard on looking so holy than Father Dougal McGuire himself".

The Pope’s funny hat finds itself between Popes at present. It seems a rather an appropriate time to celebrate the three greatest gifts the Catholic Church have given mankind: Father Jack, Father Dougal and Father Ted. This week all three delightful series of Father Ted have been released individually – face-lifted with charming illustrations by renowned cartoonist Tony Millionaire – so that we may relive the magic all over again.
Father Ted is a show I remember fondly so it was gratifying to go back and find it every bit as good as I remembered. For those who have never had the pleasure (for shame!), Father Ted documents the misadventures of three Catholic priests sharing a small parochial house with their housekeeper on a remote outcrop of rock off the west coast of Ireland. Father Ted Crilly (Dermot Morgan), the show’s antihero, is an amiable blunderer. Father Jack Hackett (Frank Kelly...

Dennis Lim is the new year-round Cinematheque programmer for the Film Society at Lincoln Center. Not too long ago we reported Robert Koehler had taken the position, but due to family health issues, he has stepped down. We congratulate Dennis Lim and our thoughts are with Robert Koehler. He may not be a household name, but he meant a lot to those who knew him: Ric Menello passed away at the age of 60 last week. Menello is known for co-writing Two Lovers and Lowlife with James Gray, and for directing this. Take a look at the Ditmas Park Corner blog's remembrance of Menello.

The comics world lost a legend Thursday night with the passing of artist Gene Colan. Legions of creators, including Jimmy Palmiotti, Paul Cornell and many others have shared their memories of his work on "Daredevil," "The Tomb of Dracula" and "Batman."
The other trending tweet topic of the night was the new "Captain America: The First Avenger" trailer that showed up yesterday. Steve Rogers and the Red Skull both got healthy amounts of screen time, but Tool music ultimately sold Skottie Young on the film. His evaluation and Tony Millionaire's call for investors made today's mix tape of tweet highlights.

Just when you thought it was safe to hit the drive-thru again,"Supersized: Strange Tales From A Fast-Food Culture" arrives on the shelf at your local comic shop.
Written by "Super Size Me" director Morgan Spurlock with writer Jeremy Barlow, "Supersized" is an original graphic novel that serves as a companion to Spurlock's 2004, Oscar-nominated documentary about fast food, culture, and the industry that feeds it. Tony Millionaire, Ron English, and a variety of other illustrators provide what's likely to be some truly stomach-churning visuals for the anthology, which includes both original stories and several that expand upon those in the original documentary.

If you will be in the Washington, DC area this weekend you should consider hitting the Small Press Expo, right outside DC in Bethesda, MD. It's an annual convention celebrating the little guys in comics. You won't really see Marvel or DC represented here; smaller companies like Top Shelf and Fantagraphics regularly set up vending tables at the event. The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund will be represented as well. The exhibitors will include everything from writers and artists who have managed to get published by one of the bigger small presses to little guys who have gotten lucky enough to do a smaller project for one of the Big Two to people who had an idea they put down on paper then went to Kinko's in the middle of the night to xerox and staple copies together themselves.

He doesn't know any details yet, but Stan Lee tweeted last night that he's confident his "Spider-Man" cameo will be secure despite Sony's franchise reboot. That's only slightly less than he knows about his "Thor" cameo, which he only knows will be "real cool."
On the other side of the country, Marvel's offices entertained Neil Gaiman this week, and Tom Brevoort posted that the writer unveiled his plans for the "Marvelman" series' conclusion.

"Dexter" having fans in the comics community shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, but the season finale last night was the talk of the Twitter Report follow list, with Frank Tieri and Scott Allie among those tweet-gasping at its conclusion.
