Matt LeBlanc was born on 25 July 1967 in
Newton, MA, a suburb of Boston. His mother, Patt Grossman, is Italian,
and his father, Paul LeBlanc, is of Irish, English and French ancestry.
Matt LeBlanc graduated from Newton North
High School in 1985. Young LeBlanc was a motorcycle enthusiast, and
considered pursuing a career in motorcycle racing. After high school
LeBlanc began modeling, appearing in “Damron,” a gay travel guide for
men. In 1987 Matt LeBlanc earned a role in a commercial for Heinz Ketchup. Until the end of the decade Matt LeBlanc was known as “King of Commercials,” starring in ads for Levis Jeans, Doritos, and Coca-Cola.
Matt LeBlanc earned fame in 1994 when
the then struggling actor earned the role of Joey Tribbiani in the hit
series “Friends.” LeBlanc’s stardom continued until 2004, when
“Friends” went off the air. The same year Matt LeBlanc starred in the “Friends” spin-off, “Joey,” but the show proved unpopular among the loyal “Friends” audience.
In 2003 Matt LeBlanc married longtime
girlfriend, Missy McKnight. The couple had one child, Mariana LeBlanc,
who was sadly diagnosed with a rare brain disorder that affects her
motor skills. Soon after the birth of their daughter, Matt
LeBlanc issued a public apology to his wife for having inappropriate
contact with an exotic dancer. In 2006 the couple filed for divorce,
citing irreconcilable differences.
Though Matt LeBlanc is the only cast
member of “Friends” who was never invited to host Saturday Night Live,
he is still pursuing a television and screen actor. LeBlanc’s hobbies
include carpentry, parachute jumping, and landscape photography. He
lives with his three dogs, Lady, Shadow, and Jay.
“he is still pursuing a television and screen actor”. Which one? I hope it’s Andy Dick.
Great strip Brad. That tenth panel is great. If it were on a t-shirt I would steal it. I really love the look of these things. I can’t tell for sure but it looks to me like you are cutting out each panel and taping them down (I think I see tape lines) and formatting them that way then NOT cleaning it up on Photoshop. I think it looks super cool. I also like all the stray pencil lines. I think you’ve figured out a great way to make these things. As soon as I have time I’m going to steal this style. Insignificant Webcomic Awards here I come!
Wow! thanks Will! What an honor! I would have thought a dead cartoonist as yourself would have better things to do than read my crappy comics, but boy was I wrong! Oh wait, You must have ended up in hell. Now I get it. Jeez what a drag man!
I don’t cut anything out, and there is no tape. It’s all photoshop. I drew this comic in my big ass sketchbook (mistake #1), so I had to scan it in pieces like seriously 6 times to get that piece of crap (2 11×14 pages). So I just didn’t clean any of the scans up and adjusted each pages contrast separately. Then I just put them together and made copied and pasted numerous background elements, and just erased around them. I ended up having to cut them all out at the last minute because they panels were too tiny to read in the original layout, so I just crapped it out as quickly as possible. hence the missing knock knock in the first panel (mistake #2).
Glad you like em, I was kind of worried that the messiness would distract from the joke too much.
No man, I love the messiness. Seriously! However, that messiness sounds like a lot of work. I was hoping it was all a happy accident that I could steal. Instead, it sounds like it was a miserable accident. I guess all the erasing around it caused the effect I was talking about. I think it looks neat but I don’t know if I would take the time to do that on purpose. Of course, I am the ghost of Wil Eisner and I could just have my ghost studio assistants do it for me. The problem is my ghost studio assistans are a bunch of old timers who don’t know how to use Photoshop. I wish Frank Miller would hurry up and die so I could put that bitch to work. He owes me big time.
Ha, without the knock knock it looks like you got up and were trying to escape.
I really do love this comic. I would have liked to have seen it in your awesome brush style.
But I understand your time issues.
I love you eyes in the last panel. It was really good up till then and then it was great. I say it the “laugh out loud holiday hit of the year!”
Thanks Adam! It nice to hear from ya. I gotta swing over to the dollar bin site to see if you guys ever put up yer shop. Good hanging out with you at the pumpkin carving contest btw.
NOTE: I just added the knocking in the first panel. This was a record 4 updates on one comic! Go me!
Aww man. Why did you add the knock knock? I hate it now. That just takes away all the imagination from it. It’s like these new fangled video games the kids have. What was wrong with just staring at a blank piece of paper and imagining it had a story on it? Kids these days.
Shut the hell up Wil Eisner! You don’t know crap about comics Wil Eisner! Snoopy would have knocked and Snoopy would have bit the Spirit in his nutts!
Merry Christmas everyone.
Umm, guys. I would be glad to settle this whole thing for you using a 180 page essay comic made of charts and graphs and crappy manga influenced art.
Shut the hell up Scott McCloud. You are not dead. No one gives a crap what you think.
