Brad Neely (2015)

We try to fit them into the show, but they get wittled down or cut. We want to do more shorts of just lectures from our teachers. Like a fake lecture series. That sounds fun to me. One or two minute lectures from Frank, Steve, Sammy and others.

For those who don't know, I once proposed doing a sequel to Wizard People by using the Tobey Maguire Spider Man movie. I'd just say that Peter was Harry, Harry was Ronny the Bear and MJ was Hermione. They moved to America and Harry Only uses a spider spell. But... I just started doing TV instead.

I want this too.
We did a pilot that no one has seen.
It's kinda a bridge between the shorts and the style of the current show. Adult Swim is the group that needs to be encouraged. Because, frankly, no one buys anything anymore.

Cool. I'm taking a few seconds for your long shit.
1. I do a crazy amount of takes. I can't tell you how many. I scream and scream. Then I review all the screams and select the best bits. I assemble this scream and that scream and piece together the whole scream-a-thon. It takes forever.
2. I like to think that Frank has sharp teeth, like Baby CAkes, due to bad habits. I feel like they both have broken their teeth from biting hard shit. Frank is an animal. He is like a cat. Steve has nice teeth because he is calm. Frank bites first, asks questions later. We discussed giving Frank nice teeth for the TV show, but EVERYONE on the crew said no.

I do that every time I watch it. Every morning.

Oh, my god, are you my dad?
This is the coolest comment.
But who the fuck names a sandwich "The Rachel?"
I thought a Rachel was a haircut.

Hey, Donald.
Donald is a fucking cool dude.
What can I say. He's nice.
We met in a dumpster. We get gross.

Yeah I really want to do this.
I love interacting with a crowd and I have, like, four hundred songs now.
We'll see what happens. I need a band, though. ANd I need to get cool and thin and stop eating arbys. You gotta look good if you're gunna be live.

1. Jaws 3D is such a great movie. Thanks for going to that.
2. Probably not.
3. Pony. I pretty much live with Steve, Frank and Baby Cakes because they are all sides of me.

First, you get a 2 liter of any lime flavored, green bottle, shit house soft drink drink.
Then you pour out 2/3 of it. just in the sink or on the dirt.
THEN you pour in Vodka. Or Whiskey, depending of you want your night to be fast or slow.
then you walk around in the neighborhood with friends, sharing, watching fireworks and shitting in bushes.

The web stuff is done all by me. I draw in my chunky, loose way with real pencils and pens on paper. I go fast and I don't worry so much about consistency of character shapes. It's more of a comic book aesthetic.
But for the show we have literally hundreds of people drawing. There had to be rules and guidelines and "models" so it would all flow and have a consistent look. I decided to add pupils so the characters could act more with their eyes.
Thanks for sharing your short. I'll take a look at it later!

I'm busy, busy.
1. We're finishing China 3.
2. Working on another secret TV thing.
3. Making an album of non-comedy music.
4. Writing a novel for real.
5. Collecting an anthology of Creased Comics.
6. China shirts are coming from Titmousestuff.com

Thanks. You sound beautiful.

It's gunna be okay, Sodacan. I just found out that Macys sells pants. I bet they might have some shirts too. Macys is a store.

Depends if any Hog Music is playing. Hog music turns Colossus into a madman.
I hate Spider Man. I just do. Such a cocksucker.
Colossus was a favorite of mine growing up. He's an artist. His last name is Rasputin. Perfect.

God I wish I knew what you were talking about. If I made up "Hog Music" and forgot about it, then I am sad to know that I can forget the greatest things in my life.

I don't want to be responsible for your death.

We just took a break.
We'll have new stuff up to buy on creasedcomics.com for the holidays.

This is such a real issue.
You can't. Those cats are not yours. They are Satan's. They are silent witnesses in your house. They are furry drones. Long story short: you're a dead little fucked up human plaything in a house owned by the devil and his legion of hellcats.

We have a big role playing episode coming up in a few weeks. Baby Cakes. Dragons. Should be good.

1. We wanted to avoid any regional accents. I'm from the south, and it would make sense to base a show there, but then you have made Evening Shade or Designing Women and that wasn't the goal.
2. South Park. Simpsons. Seinfeld. Sopranos. SNL. I only watch shows that start with S.
3. I did it because I made them by myself. I didn't have money to cast anyone else.
4. Steve is pretty close. But when I am laughing I sound like Frank.

1, He's there. You're just not looking hard enough. OR you're looking too hard.
2. Mel Gibson. Bill Clinton. Bruce Willis. And they'd all be fucking me.
3. DOn't take advice from old fuckers.

This has me spiraling in a house of mirrors full of regret and desire.
I would, right now be the Brad Neely that never owned a computer, who rides a horse and kills his own Arbys.

Macy's has pants? I thought they were a skirt store. Shit. I think we have discovered why our lives are different. I buy my pants at Arbys.

NEVER. Queeblo is free. Queeblo is the wind.

I cross ref'd the Bible, the Torah, The Quran. That story and most of all stories are in all those books. I wanted the short to work for lots of people.

What? Are you a little kid? I want to be mean, but you might be a little ass kid. I learned about George Washington first off, like before I learned about gravity and death. I WAS George Washington in my Sixth Grade Musical. Seriously. I sang as GW. He has always been a part of my life. When I found out he had shitty teeth I cried. Then I found out he had wooden chompers and I leapt for joy, thinking he was an X-Man.

1. TEDDY.
2. TEDDY.
3. TEDDY.
4. Fat horny Clinton.

Dean Cream.

Thanks.
Queeblo was an amalgam of dudes that I used to know, and be, back when I was young and working at Michaels. When I see young badass kids still out there skating and stuff I feel like an old fuck. So I made up Queeblo in an effort to feel cool again.

I hope it keeps me grounded. Arkansas is a real deal place. People are serious and funny and not easy to fool. I hope I have a little of that in me. I love Arkansas. I kiss Arkansas.

Please don't bet me into a twitter war with Azelia Banks.

I want to do a full on Baby Cakes rap album. LP. real songs. 3 minutes. Featured artists would include: Tyra Banks. Michael Strahan. Kendall Jenner. Yao Ming. Boy George. George Micheal. Urban Kieth. Baz Luhrmann. Tony Shalhoub. Cuba Gooding Sr. And the others...

1. ELO
2. I like that Frank Ocean guy.
3. Lygeti
4. Neu!
5. Father John Misty

1. We knew we wanted someone with authority for The Dean. We didn't know what KIND of authority at first, though. We went out to Bryan Cranston but he was busy with some stupid live action show. Then we thought of Hogan. We tried and he said Cool. We never knew that The Dean would be such a nihilistic, Alpha-male, anti-human weirdo. Once we got Hulk, we knew we had a show. Everything changed. We rewrote everything.
   Then for Pony I knew early on that it had to be Greta. I had seen Greenberg and her voice was so special... it WAS Pony. Luckily she was game and that was that.

My favorite movies are

1. Satyricon
2. Holy Mountain
3. Hudson Hawk
4. Dreamcatcher (2003)
5. Solaris (1972)
6. My Dinner With Andre
7. Satantango
8. Eraserhead
9. The Mirror
10. Mad Max

Everything that Steve said... I feel. I think Toy Story 3 is pro-slavery.

That one Ghost in your house that comes out when you're sleeping. He's my favorite. He fucks with your feet and you never know. But really I love ghosts that hang out at lighthouses. I hate Hotel Ghosts. I love ghosts that just hang out quietly in a field at a very safe distance from me and my family.

I will be in Chicago in two weeks. C2E2.
I'll be doing a panel and doing drawing and taking questions.
Come fuck.

I was very lucky to be a small part of South Park. The truth is I was terrible in there. Trey and Matt have it all figured out and really don't need help, but I was VERY afraid of them and I knew nothing about TV. I was able to learn a lot from watching them work.
I laughed only when I found something funny. And I pointed out what might have already been done. Beyond that I just tried to keep up.

I am only habits. The real question is whether or not I do anything that is not habitual.
I drink shit.
I eat shit.
BUT I have good habits too.
I work like a motherfucker and I have a lovely family at home.
This is all I do.
No hobbies.
No friends.
Work. Family. Eating. Drinking.

Both! From Long John's Silvers.
I used to go there for every birthday.
Please find one or open one in LA.

Here's some songs, I think...

One to two weeks.
I write the script in a weird way, as a numbered list.
The dialogue lines are broken up to predict what I'll draw.
Then I record it. Lots of takes.
If it's music I gotta write all the instrument parts and do that shit.
Then I edit together the radioplay.
Then I draw about 100 drawings.
I scan those in and color em.
Then I line those up with the audio.
Sucks. It sucks so much.

An editor does so much. They are the conduit. They are the sphincter that connects tons of flowing creativity. They are made of steel and must endure tons of lashing.
Seriously our Editors touch every part of the show from beginning of recordings to final delivery.

His Name is Mark Cakes. His Dad's name is Leonard Cakes.
Everyone called him Baby because he never quit looking like a baby.

Hey, Guys!
Chad Hopper is a great artist.

I had a bunch. Good teachers are everything. Bad teachers are important too. I had good drama teachers. Good Art teachers. Good history teachers. Good english teachers. Mrs. Werner in high school taught me all about Hamlet. That changed me on a fundamental level. My father in law was my Painting Professor for the short while that I went to college. He was instrumental in giving me a serious basic understanding about visual arts.
BE TEACHERS.

Recent movies that I like? I'll try to be serious...
1. Whiplash
2. Inherent Vice

4. The Roosevelts: An Intimate History
5. Olive Kitteridge
6. Foxcatcher

8. Her
9. August: osage County
10. The Unknown Known

I write and perform all the music for China, IL and anything else that has my name on it.
I want to make as much Baby Cakes music as I can. Time is my enemy.

Kenny winker occasionally has a hit single on the country charts, so I figure he went in for some veneers.
Kenny Winker is based on all the music guys when I was a kid: John Cougar. Springsteen.
But the voice is an impression of my friend's dad.

Hope to see you chained to one of my desks!

Queen.

I grew up in a home that tried out a "variety of religious experiences." We did methodist. Then we did World Wide Church of God, which was kind of a lite cult. I really used to fear God, and I still can't shake it. On the sabbath I used to act like my GIJoes were robots so that when they were fighting I wasn't portraying actual human strife. I used to know a lot about old testament dietary restrictions and all the un-fun feast days.

Baby Cakes' voice was based on a girl that I worked with in a toy store. She was from Philadelphia and talked like BC, only higher. She was cool. Then she moved away. I made Baby Cakes. I moved to LA. and TEN YEARS later I saw her as I was croassing the street on sunset. She remembered me and we talked in the middle of Vine for a sec. So weird.
Frank and Steve's voices were based on two close friends of mine in Austin Texas. Now Frank and Steve and BC all have become their one sounds to me, but I started out with those touch stones: impersonating friends and coworkers.

All are special.
Big double length musical at the end of the season, though.

What's adult swim?
Is charlie rose on there?

Charlie Rose

Heavy is the head that drinks the Crown.

I have Beer nights.
I have Crown Nights.
I have Vodka Nights.
I have Chocolate Vodka Nights.
Surprise! I'm Chumbawamba.

Frank. No, Baby Cakes. Frank. They're all kinda part of me. Frank represents all my anxiety, self-doubt, rash shittiness. Frank is fragile, but brash. Baby Cakes has never grown up. And Steve is dangerous when he loses control. They're all the bad parts of me.

THE holidays. Arby's day. Salad day. Chicken fried day. Fat fucky day. humpers' day. YOU know.

Never at staples.
I've worked in these chain stores:
Michaels.
Books-a-million
Waldenbooks
Structure
Jerry's Artarama
Holiday Inn

I must know what a radio pen is.
Is that like Picture Pages?

To feel with other people's bodies.
