My longtime Bava-lovin' Watchdog-publishin' Throat Sprockets-projectin' Renfield-ravin' comrade-in-arms Tim Lucas wrote me a birthday sonnet -- and posted it online. Garsh.
Fifty-odd years later, happy and wet, A wet happy puppy emerged from the duct tape finals at the Mr Heterosexual Contest and lo and behold, it was that crazy Bissette!
I love it all: comics, movies, media, writing, music, art. Welcome to my musings on the creative life, life and teaching at the Center for Cartoon Studies, movies and DVDs and politics and contemporary events, spiced with the occasional eye-popping art and curious photos. Myrant is just that: MYrant!
About Me
Name: Stephen Bissette
Location: Mountains of Madness, Vermont, US
I'm a Native Vermonter who drew and wrote from a tender age and loved dinosaurs and monsters, none of which I've ever outgrown. I graduated in 1978 as a member of the first-ever class at the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon & Graphic Art, Inc., entered the comics profession and carved out a career until my retirement from the field in 1999. I made (and left) my mark with SWAMP THING, TABOO, '1963,' and TYRANT, among others. As a writer, I've written for a variety of zines (including VIDEO WATCHDOG, DEEP RED, FANGORIA, etc.) and books (THE MONSTER BOOK: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, UNDERGROUND USA, etc.) amid occasional bouts of fiction (the Stoker Award winning novella ALIENS: TRIBES, short stories). My current pet project is GREEN MT CINEMA, dedicated to VT and New England films and filmmakers. I write constantly, draw occasionally, and now teach at the Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Jct., VT. I live with my wife Marjory, whom I love -- and I sure love my son Daniel and my daughter Maia, too.

Rhyming "thousands" and "Harryhausens"? Excellent.
Happy birthday, Steve.
