³Pearls Before Swine² Cartoonist

RSS FEED: http://feeds.feedburner.com/MrMedia

STEPHAN PASTIS is a big fan of Ricky Gervais, creator of "The Office" and
"Extras," and Larry David, co-creator of "Seinfeld" and creator of "Curb
Your Enthusiasm." He also loves him some Cheryl Hines. As a matter of fact,
I think the only reason I landed him on the show today is because I
interviewed the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" co-star, and that gets him one degree
closer to her.

Pastis¹ ³PEARLS BEFORE SWINE² comic strip has twice been named Best
Newspaper Comic Strip of the Year by the National Cartoonists Society, in
2004 and again in 2007, and it is that funny and that weird.

Well, Zeeba neighbors, prepare yourself for Stephan Pastis.

FRIDAY: JAN. 18, 9 a.m.: BOB BALABAN, director of the new HBO film ³BERNARD
AND DORIS,² starring Susan Sarandon and Ralph Fiennes
In 1987, Irish butler Bernard Lafferty arrived at the doorstep of tobacco
heiress Doris Duke. A mere six years later, he had not only managed to
remain employed, but had been granted control over Duke's billion-dollar
fortune. BOB BALABAN directed the imagined tale "BERNARD AND DORIS,"
starring Susan Sarandon and Ralph Fiennes. It debuts Feb. 9 on HBO. Balaban
is also known as the voice of Smithers on ³The Simpsons² and as a talented
actor on films as diverse as CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND and GOSFORD
PARK.


TUESDAY: JAN. 22, 1 p.m.: WENDY PINI and RICHARD PINI, creators of ELFQUEST
and MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH
After thirty years, Wendy Pini and Richard Pini's ELFQUEST is finally
getting acknowledged in a big way as the first creator-owned American comic
series influenced by manga and anime. And now the husband-and-wife creative
team have launched a new online, anime project, MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH,
based on the Edgar Allen Poe story of the same name.

TUESDAY: JAN. 29, 1 p.m.: BRIAN ALEXANDER, author of AMERICA UNZIPPED
Amateur porn sites, swingers, S&M - Fringe experimentation has gone
suburban. These days, soccer moms, your accountant, or even your own parents
are likely to indulge in kink. Stunned by the uninhibited questions from
ordinary people on his msnbc.com column, "Sexploration," Brian Alexander was
driven to understand Americans' desire to get down and dirty - especially in
an era in which conservative family values dominate.




COMING NEXT FRIDAY to MrMEDIA.com: What¹s a presidential election without
political satire? Artist PETE VON SHOLLY takes pen, ink and monster photos
to Barack, Hillary, Mitt, and all the rest in his hysterical new postcard
book, CAPITOL HELL! He¹ll also dish on his work as a movie storyboard artist
on everything from MARS ATTACKS! and THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION to the
upcoming Leslie Nielsen comedy, SUPERHERO! (http://www.capitol-hell.com )




AND IN TWO WEEKS: Actress PAULA GARCES (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle,
³The Shield²) and producer ALEX FERRARI offer a sneak behind the upcoming
action film RED PRINCESS BLUES.
