I credit my art school lettering teacher for saving my back and wrist. He taught you to tape the Bristol to a piece of cardboard and ink it that way. So instead of hunching over a drawing board, I tape the comic page to the back of a Masonite drawing board. It sits on my lap. So the movements vary enough that my carpal tunnel eventually went away. My back is still intact. I’m not hunching.
Big fan of Geof Darrow! Sometimes i read the pages too quick because of the rhythm of the story. But I always go back to check the incredible drawings. So much crazy lovely detail! Looking forward to the Artist edition of this last edition of The Shaolin Cowboy! Thanks for the heads up. Besides being this amazing artist he’s also a very friendly guy. A big thank you to Cartoonist Kayfabe for this video! Also loved the Corben vid with Geof :)
It’s always a good night when I fire up the ol’ kayfabe channel and Geof Darrow is on screen. Even just listening to his non-cartooning related anecdotes are entertaining to me. Definitely a legend. I appreciate the tips on avoiding carpel tunnel, too. Maybe there could be a future segment based on that very premise?
10:40 This may sound a bit silly, but I feel like this could be a good "Make More Comics" subject for a video. Then that could inspire some folks to make zines about it.
Darrows the GOAT! Always the nicest dude at every con. I once went to Paris and randomly reached out to him and he let me tour his studio space. I missed him at this years Comic Con!!
Thanks 🙏,guys! Geoff always has a fresh perspective on everything he does which is impressive beyond words! His 🐸 frogs tale got me to remember seeing frogs “water ski” in a septic pond back in the late 90’s! 🤪I have the single issues and I will be picking this up next Wednesday at my LCS! Keep reading and making comix!❤️👍🎯👋
Years ago, when Miller and Darrow where doing Hardboiled. I meet them both at a signing. Geoff had some original pages to look at which where amazing and oversized. He was just lost in conversation with one person all the while signing and doing little doodles for everyone who asked.The line was so backed up because he was doing so that Miller was just waiting next to him. I wish I had all this Kayfabe knowledge and history , I would have asked him so many great questions and had real conversation with him. Picked his brain about stuff. Instead I was just to nervous and thank him told him I loved his work and moved on. Geoff and Frank where both very kind.
Darrow is so self-deprecating.. I only know that I read the first Bourbon Thret almost 40 years ago and never forgot it.. I think my copy of Cruel to be kin will arrive later today ❤
I just reread the whole series leading up to this book. The amount of leveling up he’s done with his storytelling and art at this stage in his career is absolutely unreal!
Great video! Love it when Geof pays a visit. But damn, he’s costing me money! Had to get the Den book yesterday and now I have to get that Shaolin Cowboy book.
I love how Geof will create one huge panel that contains as much narrative detail as a Dostoevsky novel, then basically be like "Gosh, it's really nothing. I was going to throw it away, actually". He redefines humility. Thank you guys for giving us another superb video and yet another precious hour of conversation from the man himself.
Geof saying “Kayfabe” warms my heart!
We are lucky to be able to listen to a legend talk about his work in such a easy, fun way. Thank you Ed and Jim for bringing this to us.
Uncle Geof is my favorite dude
Man is a force of nature, thanks for having him on

This is my favorite SC story yet all the art in the book is totally insane

What a wonderful wedding of form and color!
was happy to find an og shaolin cowboy at a little con I just went to
Bought! Damn I love it! Agree that is one of his best 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
34:39 Even the son of stone himself, Turok, never had it so bad.
Hardboiled baby!
My favorite.
Can't wait to pick up Shaolin Cowboy.
Darrow is so self-deprecating.. I only know that I read the first Bourbon Thret almost 40 years ago and never forgot it.. I think my copy of Cruel to be kin will arrive later today ❤
Great channel, great guest! Sweat the details ;)

Geof rules!! Thanks for the shout-out!

Uncle Geof! Such a rad episode. :)
Thank you!!
Good heavens I'm craving chicken wings!!!
Hi, is this a Library Edition forma or normal HC size ? I have the other Library Ed. volumes, and want to be sure I buy the same formats ;-) Thanks
Same format, normal HC size, just like the others
I bought this book at the $35 cover-price, it is a $50 dollar experience! Geof Darrows elaborate work is fresh in each revisit.
Amazing … Cruel to be Kin Director’s Cut Thank you fells
