Hey, sorry you missed our gig at the Iowa Historical Museum! Iowa PBS did not offer the DVD for sale, because, at that point, we hadn't secured the DVD deal (in fact, the DVD deal was announced by Max Allan Collins that night at the museum event). The DVD is now for sale VCIentertainment.com is the distributor. One special bonus feature on the DVD is a video of the panel discussion at the Historical Building, so you can at least watch it. Hey, e-mail me and tell me where I can find Lost Cause Comix!

Now I'm bummed out- turns out there was a live screening of the film and Q & A/ Tribute to V. T. Hamlin and Alley Oop at the State Historical Building last night with the husband and wife team of cartoonists, Jack and Carol Bender, along with the film's producer, Mark Lambert and the film's creator, Max Allan Collins.

We do not get that sort of thing around here locally very often. Didn't see it listed until after it had already happened. twenty blocks away and I missed it. Sigh........

From Max Allen Collins' website...a note from November, 2005:

CAVEMAN: V.T. HAMLIN AND ALLEY OOP, my new documentary, has been doing well on the midwestern film festival circuit. I won "Best Director" at the Iowa Motion Picture Awards (and Mike Cornelson picked up "Best Narrator"); won the Silver Eddy at the Cedar Rapids indie fest; were an official selection at SMMASH in the Twin Cities; and won two awards of distinction at the Wild Rose fest in Des Moines. We are in discussion with Iowa PBS about a possible broadcast home, and I'm starting to show the doc to DVD distributors, as well.

Alley Oop Cartoon Strip

I ran across this last night-

I watched a really interesting hour show last night on Iowa PBS- “V.T. Hamlin & Alley Oop”. V.T. Hamlin was born in Perry, IA, ran the Des Moines Registers cartoon syndicate for a few years, and then started his own strip “Alley Oop”. It had interviews with a bunch of underground cartoonists and current & former cartoonists for Alley Oop. The film seemed to have been recorded at ComicCon out in San Diego in 2005 and was directed by Max Allen Collins (Road to Perdition) and filmed/ edited through the University of Iowa. It had Frank Stack (Foolbert Sturgeon), Denis Kitchen (Kitchen Sink), Trina Robbins (Wimmen's Comix), Will Eisner (Spirit), William Stout (Slow Death), Stan Sakai (Albedo Comics), Russell Myers (Broomhilda), Sergio Aragones (Mad), Russ Cochran (Reprinted E.C. Comics), with Dave Graue, Jack Bender, and Carol Bender (Alley Oop cartoonists) interviews. I used to read Alley Oop back in the late ‘50’s and early ‘60’s in the old Des Moines Tribune. It was one of the strips that inspired me. It was a good film.

Has any one else ever seen this, or did it just get shown in Iowa due to all the Iowa connections? :hmmmm:

Alley Oop is not in our local paper anymore.
