    The last video. Miss you, Ed. Please keep the channel going, Jim!

  • @lambtoon
    @lambtoon Місяць тому +153

    Thanks Jim for honoring Ed’s request guessing as it’s been 4 days this might of been the last video you’ll had in the backlog. They helped us greatly in this time.
    To anyone just discovering the channel the good news is there’s over 1500s great videos where they deep dive into comics like no other channel. As well as better in depth interviews with creators. No other interviews are like theirs as they ask the questions no other UA-camr has. Plus they’re usually an hour long instead of the few mins people upload from cons.
    Probably the dopest thing they started doing was going through some of the books with the creators themselves. A lot to the early Turtles books have videos like this giving insight no documentary has. Rob Liefeld also went through a few as well. So much great content in their back catalogue to look at here. I’m sure I and many Kayfabers will be watching all the videos we’ve missed as well as rewatching many more.
    I hope when Jim’s ready or up to it he does continue the channel in some way as no other UA-cam channel did what they did. Most Comicbook channels mainly just complain about the current state of comicbooks. Others just like to cover books as they relate to movies or shows. And others just like to talk about what’s the current “hot book” in regards to selling them online. None do the deep dive commentary like they did. Not only about the story but the craft of making the comics and the people behind them. It’s just to special to the history of the media to end even if no one can ever come close to filling Ed’s shoes. Totally understand Jim’s decision whatever it is. And if he does continue it there is no pressure to keep it daily that is a lot to ask. I’d suggest it could become weekly instead where he features different guest hosts going through their favorite books that inspired them as well as their own books.
    Long Live Kayfabe!

Thanks for the info, the variety of comics you all looked at, the humor. Thanks, and wish things didn't go the way they did. However if this isnt the last video, this comment can be disregarded. Once again many thanks, also thanks for the Shoot interviews really dug them. ✌️

    Cartoonist Kayfabe will never be the same without Ed, but it will always be remembered for the fantastic team up that it was. This is hard to say... but maybe it should remain as it was even though letting it go seems impossible to imagine. Jim, so many people have expressed their gratitude, I hope you know that you are appreciated. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into CK for all of these years, so many episodes, so much inspiration, what an epic undertaking - and what an amazing gift to all of us who have appreciated it so much. If nothing else, it would be good to hear what your intentions for CK might be... even if that is undecided at this time. Peace, healing and all the best to you... and thank you again.

    Been a few days now, so guessing this was the last vid. Thank you for uploading all of these, Jim.
    I worked in the industry for a brief time as a colourist. Was part of the Satellite Soda crew and my first colouring work was for Image’s Popgun anthologies, which I’m positive you were also a part of. After that I got asked to colour that Obama issue of Savage Dragon, the cover to volume six of Scott Pilgrim and a heap of other cool stuff.
    In the early 2010’s, I unfortunately did nerve and muscle damage to my drawing hand. Had to dip on all the projects I was involved with at the time, which lead to a dip in my mental health and me dipping out of comics and falling out of love with comics all together. I still bought stuff but it wasn’t the same, was just out of habit.
    Nearly a decade later though and Kayfabe brought back that love during a really tough time in my life. The two of you being around the same age as me, breaking down and loving a ton of the same artists and comics I loved as a kid, going through those Basic Training sections of Wizard; it brought my love of comics flooding back when I very much needed it. I don’t know if I can go back to working professionally but it feels amazing to be drawing, colouring and being creative just for myself.
    I had genuinely forgotten how much I loved it all. I will be forever thankful to Kayfabe for helping me find that love again.

I hope you are at peace and I hope Ed’s legacy as a creator and curator is maintained. If this indeed the last upload, I also get the gesture of retiring the channel to honor his legacy. Take care.

    Seeing that this is more or likely the last post on the channel I want to thank you Jim for uploading the back catalog and all your contributions to make this podcast. I stumbled on this channel late last year with your guys video of the Crumb Sketchbooks seeing the name of the channel and that y'all did "shoot style" interviews with other artists I knew I was in for a treat. At times it felt like this was created for me with all the niche things intertwined from Ed's music taste and dark horror comics to Jim's love for wrestling and badass skater ninja comics I knew I had found a new favorite channel. There's so much more shit I could keep yapping about but honestly all I want to say is thank the both of you for deeping my knowledge and love for this shit and introducing me to so many great comics and artists.

    I’ve watched videos from this channel from time to time since the beginning of last year. Not really a comics guy, but I enjoyed how they broke down the art in some books. Even got me to buy the Sin City curators edition. Just found how ten minutes ago that Ed died. What a world we live in. Rest in peace.

    I really hope Jim continues the show later on down the line, in some sort of way. Of course, I'll always appreciate Ed's insights and recommendations. But, I'm sure there are still countless of comics worthy of Jim's commentary, either as stand alone, or with Tom Scioli (who by the way also has a great channel). I just got back in to comics a few months ago and I was literally just starting to learn about the best of them. But nevertheless they pointed me in a direction that I'm grateful for finding. Thanks guys, you're work here is unparalleled.

I’m going to revisit from the beginning all the videos , I started about 3 ish years ago so there’s another two year worth of videos so visit.
