This weeks show Shawn is joined by guest host Adam Umak as they share an interview with Thomas Cook, an animator and artist that has worked on some of your favorite childhood cartoons ranging from Superfriends to Ducktales. He’s worked for animation homes that range from Hanna Barbera, Ruby Spears, Disney, Filmation and so many more. Get ready for a great convo as we discuss his influences, how he got his start in the animation industry, Jack Kirby, the rise & fall of the U.S. animation studio, comics, and as much as we could fit into this episode.
Thomas is still in the art game, working on Comic Book Cover Recreations at his site: http://www.comicrecreations.com
It’s Saturday morning and weekday syndicated goodness all over again. Enjoy the show.

Shawn and Jon have a convo with artist/creator/podcaster Pat Loika as they discuss his book “The Villain” and the San Diego Comic-Con. Then from a lost recording, Donny talks about his flea market comic book finds, then he and Shawn review some comics. As always, prepare for tangents that include a bland pop-artist and Betamax.
Enjoy.
