We’re on a bit of an original art kick here at Phoenix Productions, so let’s keep the good times rolling with some cartoons sent to me by Daryl Hutchinson! We generally know Daryl for his stunning, intricately illustrated pieces filled with complex shading and lifelike realism. But did you know that the man likes toContinue reading “#HumpdayHutchinsons – Daryl sent some cartoons!”

#HumpdayHutchinsons – The first Phoenix Masters minicomics!
On this #HumpdayHutchinsons entry, I think it’s wisest to skip the typing and go straight to the video: As you can see, we’re going much further than the Hutchinsons, but I’m so thrilled to start with Daryl. His work has been integral to the Joe’s Comix projects, but he’s been so darned selfless about it!Continue reading “#HumpdayHutchinsons – The first Phoenix Masters minicomics!”
#HumpdayHutchinsons – Joe hits the big time!
The Hutchinson Brothers and I are still buzzing over the great review of Joe’s Comix: WILD KINGDOM at Broken Frontier…wow. If you haven’t read it yet, go do so. I can’t properly express my happiness over a reviewer who really “gets” the wild cartooning of Joe Hutchinson…and then offers appropriate appreciation for the technical workContinue reading “#HumpdayHutchinsons – Joe hits the big time!”
Broken Frontier reviews Joe’s Comix: WILD KINGDOM
Zine enthusiast Gary Usher kindly took a look at Phoenix Masters Joe & Daryl Hutchinson’s Joe’s Comix: WILD KINGDOM collection at Broken Frontier, and it looks like he enjoyed it! Joe Hutchinson’s mini-comics also touch on absurdity in a humorous way, but with a horror (or disturbing) element clouding every story. This book, however, isContinue reading “Broken Frontier reviews Joe’s Comix: WILD KINGDOM”
#HumpdayHutchinsons – Tasty Pioneer!
Today’s #HumpdayHutchinsons offering takes us back…waaaaaaaay back…to the opening story of Joe’s Comix: WILD KINGDOM! (It also takes us back to the days of the dinosaurs, too.) Here’s the unedited scan of Tasty Pioneer, an 8-page minicomic that simultaneously showcases teenage Joe’s amazing detail on dinosaur art, his raucous humor and his inclination to showContinue reading “#HumpdayHutchinsons – Tasty Pioneer!”
#HumpdayHutchinsons – It’s National Dog Day!
In today’s #HumpdayHutchinsons entry, we’re celebrating National Dog Day! Here’s one of the brothers’ “advertisements” – a how-to on how to handle those nasty little canines. Of course, it doesn’t go as intended. If it did, would it be a Hutchinson Brothers work? Daryl remastered every Joe Hutchinson story (and advertisements like this!) that weContinue reading “#HumpdayHutchinsons – It’s National Dog Day!”
#Humpday Hutchinsons – Exclusive!
The Phoenix Productions library of Joe & Daryl Hutchinson/Anthrax Press material is reasonably deep, but it’s not exhaustive. Every now and then, the guys surprise me with a piece that I’ve never seen before. And then there are the times when the tables turn. Here’s an example – Where’s Jimmy? – a lighthearted speculative pieceContinue reading “#Humpday Hutchinsons – Exclusive!”
Electric Transit reviews Meet the Hutchinsons
Check out this review of Meet the Hutchinsons by Danny Ferbert at Electric Transit: That’s definitely a good interpretation of the brothers on paper, but – trust me on this – Daryl is just as funny as Joe. (And Joe can be serious when he has to be. Darn that growing old stuff! Makes youContinue reading “Electric Transit reviews Meet the Hutchinsons”
#HumpdayHutchinsons – My Fish Told Me of THE CRAVING
If I had to pick the quintessential Joe Hutchinson story, there are a lot of good ones. But then you would throw me up to a wall and threaten me within an inch of my life…so I’d have to pick one. Whimpering, shaking uncontrollably, I’d cry out: MY FISH TOLD ME OF THE CRAVING! (AndContinue reading “#HumpdayHutchinsons – My Fish Told Me of THE CRAVING”
#HumpdayHutchinsons – Tales of the Giant Octopus
Urban Myth or not, Joe Hutchinson tells quite a story in today’s #HumpdayHutchinsons entry, 1986’s Tales of the Giant Octopus minicomic! Isn’t Joe the best? On a technical note, the original minicomic had bright red stock on the outside. I scanned in greyscale, so the red translated to grey backgrounds. But black and white isContinue reading “#HumpdayHutchinsons – Tales of the Giant Octopus”
