Video Sunday: Parrots and Zombies (but sadly, no zombie parrots)

Speaking of comics, Graphic Novel Reporter recently had a three-part interview with Shaun Tan, creator of The Arrival and Tales of Outer Suburbia.  The sound quality leaves something to be desired, but if you’re interested in Tan’s process then this is the thing to watch. 

My dork quotient goes up and up as I link to this, but I can’t help it.  It’s two of my favorite tastes brought together at last: Broadway musicals and social networking sites.  Yup.  It’s Web Site Story.  Not embeddable, but still fun.  Thanks to AL Direct for the link.

This next video is just a thank you from our library’s president to the New Yorkers who wrote letters and campaigned to have our budget cuts reduced by the city and state.  It is filmed in my children’s room, a fact that I was hyper aware of when they locked the doors and I interrupted the filming by banging the doors over and over and over again in an effort to get in.  For some reason that version didn’t make the cut. 

As for this next one … I dunno.  I don’t think we’re too far from it happening.  Just give it time.

And for our final off-topic piece, Zombies!  Which makes me wonder, why no great zombie middle grade books, eh whot?  Too scary?  Psh and piffle.  Bring ’em on, says I!
