Smart & Dumb

Siamo tutti bloccati in casa di questa tremenda epidemia che non ha risparmiato nessun paese. Lavorando nel mondo editoriale – e fiancheggiando quello delle produzioni audiovisive – ho riscontrato uno strano comportamento. La forzata inattività lascia molto tempo libero quindi – gli smart – ne approfittano per esaminare tutte le nuove proposte e/o smaltire le giacenti (siano esse editoriali, cinematografiche o musicali). Un buon momento (!) per smaltire l’arretrato e, magari, trovare il best seller dei prossimi anni o il soggetto (i soggetti) per le prossime stagioni. Nonostante il Covid-19 il mondo non si fermerà. 

E mentre gli Smart si organizzano che fanno i Clumsy? 

“In questo momento particolare non valutiamo nuove proposte. I materiali inviati non verrano  presi in considerazione.”

Facile prevedere il futuro. Avremo ancora molte nuove proposte a stelle e strisce.

Marrying Irving

Marrying Irving

For running comic strips, the equivalent term “marring Irving” was coined in 2005. That phrase comes from the comic strip Cathy, a strip with a title character who was a confirmed bachelorette for nearly 30 years before she married Irving Hillman; the strip ended its run five years after the marriage.

A particular subset of the “jumping the shark” phenomenon, in which key members of the writing staff either die or leave the strip and are replaced, is known as the zombie strip.

Chris Carella screenplay storyboard

Chris Carella screenplay storyboard reprint

The main character: Christine J. Carella is a young woman living alone in a large city; a modern anonymous city which could be Los Angeles and which provides the stage for all kinds of adventures.
The problems that give rise to her adventures are the same everyone has, work, money, relationships with others, people bullying her, love and so on.

What can you say about a character who never born?
She was beautiful! And intelligent.

She loved Moon River sung by Audrey Hepburn and she crying with Casablanca.

Chris Carella was a mixture of drama, comedy, and romance,(comedy-drama, or “dramedy”) and was one of the good examples of script by comic. But the series was never published, the Italian comics are still the same as those of the 50’s, only: bang! bang! aarhg… shot! kill him! etc…
