Animation: Pellet Gunn by Tim Beckhardt
By Major Tom on November 3rd, 2009Posted In: Animation, Blog
I really enjoyed this piece by Tim Beckhardt. His style really reminds me of Brandon Graham (King City). The simple line work is very appealing to me, yet is has a sort of richness. It’s something I’m trying to work toward, and having a hard time. Anyway, enjoy this cool little piece.

Spider-Man Saturday Morning Cartoons Now on Marvel.com
By Major Tom on April 3rd, 2009Posted In: Animation, Blog
Wow… it looks like Marvel is now publishing the Spider-Man (that’s how they spell it anyway) Saturday morning cartoons in their video section. Man, I rushed home to watch these when I was in grammar school. They were cheesy, yet great. And really, compared to a lot of the junk that is churned out nowadays, [...]
Here’s a neat little retro-styled animation for the song “Hidden in the Sand” by the band Tally Hall. Directed by Steve Loter. Never heard of any of these folks, but I got a kick out of it.
Some of you may know I’ve been nicknamed “Major Tom” in some webcomic circles due to the space nature of my strip. Well check out this cool Flash video. I’ve always loved this song from David Bowie, and this is really neat.

This film has [...]

White Sox Win Central! The Can by Carlos Lascano
By Major Tom on October 1st, 2008Posted In: Animation, Blog
Oh yeah baby – my White Sox pulled it out. A nail-biting, tense-ridden 1-0 pitcher’s duel with a bang-bang collision at the plate and a Jim Thome home run to win the Central Division. How sweet it is! Only a week ago, the Minnesota Twinkies celebrated a sweep at the Metrodome like they won the [...]
