Sewers of Paris: What Makes You Stand Out (Ep 480 - The Little Mermaid/Terry Blas)
Added 2024-08-08 16:00:11 +0000 UTCAs you may have heard, I have a new YouTube video coming this weekend about Howard Ashman, the lyricist behind The Little Mermaid among many other works. So for this week’s episode, we’re diving into the Sewers archives to revisit my 2016 interview with artist Terry Blas. Terry was inspired to become an artist after seeing The Little Mermaid — and it helped him figure out how he could navigate the world wearing a variety of hats: Nerdy, Hispanic, Mormon, gay, comic illustrator.
In the near-decade since I first interviewed Terry, he’s produced some fantastic comics, all of which you should check out — Lifetime Passes, Hotel Dare, Dead Weight, as well as biographical books about Cesar Chavez and Frida Kahlo just to name a few. I got a huge kick out of listening back to this conversation with Terry, knowing how much success was about to come his way.
Comments
I liked Terry and yes, Buffy was the gayest thing on the tube. Spoiler Alert I remember the episode when Willow and Tara had intimate relations and the metaphorical levitation. And, when Tara was killed, Willow went insane with grief and revenge and, with a spell, skinned the perpetrator alive! It was shocking, but also perversely satisfying.
