Ugh… Infrequent patterns in this changing of seasons has left me quite out of sorts. Another posting of a yesteryear comic, currently in development, the theme is another film theater setting. This one was spurred on by the recent passing of Ray Harryhausen, visual effects creator whose work you probably saw (if not please check out)  Mighty Joe Young (1949), The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958), Jason and the Argonauts (1963), Clash of the Titans (1981) just to name a few

Ray Harryhausen (1920–2013)

 “I asked him once HOW he got so much emotional anguish out of his creatures (especially in their death throes), and he stated that he felt that it was only when he put real EMOTION and EMPATHY into his creation that it transformed from merely a ‘Monster’ to a ‘Creature’  In all my life, I’d never considered that distinction…”
