Day 24-25: Frank and Sadie Doyle #tzadvent

Today I offer this two-fer… meaning, I've drawn characters for today and tomorrow, so you won't get a #tzadvent drawing tomorrow, sorry. But it's in color. It's a Christmas miracle!

Frank and Sadie Doyle are characters in the excellent Thrilling Adventure Hour, a new-time show in the style of old-time radio. It was one of the favorite things about being in LA. The show was always delightful, frequently hysterical, and I've had the chance to meet many of the cast. I love this thing so much. Hey, they have a graphic novel out, so if you've left some comics fan or other fan of quality material off your Christmas list, why don't you think about that?

Download their show on iTunes, too. The Christmas special is up now. You'll get to hear Paul F. Tompkins and Paget Brewster as the Nick and Nora of ghost hunting. These two loveable lushes get into all sorts of trouble, all while being madly in love with each other. Other installments include Sparks Nevada, Marshall on Mars voiced by Marc Evan Jackson and Mark Gagliardi, and sometimes even Nathan Fillion, and Phillip Fathom, Undersea Detective starring the voice of Hal Lublin. Episodes are written by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker of Supernatural fame. It's so good.

It was also one of my first dates with Amy, so it's got that going for it, too. You meet someone who loves that kind of thing as much as you do, you've got a keeper.

There were some techie things on this one. I drew the martini glasses on a separate layer, making it really easy to make them glass colored. And I used the perspective rulers to draw the box in the background. That perspective ruler is a powerful tool. I need to learn to use that better.

Hope you have a great Christmas Eve!
