HTP Episode 092 – John Vorhaus

 

John Vorhaus is a comedy writer from such shows as Married… With Children and Charles in Charge. He’s also the author of books such as The Comic Toolbox and the upcoming The Little Book of Stand-Up.

 

In this episode, John and I get into the real pain points of comedy writing: seeking inspiration, wanting to create a legacy, and knowing your own value. He also indulges me greatly in telling stories of creating the Bulgarian and Russian versions of Married… With Children.

You can follow John on his official website, his Amazon Author page, and check out his art on his Redbubble store.  He also (generously!) encourages people to reach out to him via e-mail or the contact page on his website.

HTP Episode 012 – Lee Sargent (Lee Draws Stuff)

Lee Sargent is a popular artist, known for his childlike interpretations of scenes from Star Trek, Dr. Who, and Stargate. Lee feels passionately about letting people enjoy stories on their own terms, that stories are about escapism and creativity. What I love about this chat is that we get to discuss the balance between an artist’s original intention and the audience’s vision. We also get to talk about Australia’s wildlife and doing cons outside the US, with such awesome events as Oz Comic Con and Supanova in his backyard.

Here’s where you can check out Lee’s work:
