A Message From David Mandel…

September 12th @ 8:23 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • We just received this e-mail from Clerks The Cartoon writer/producer David Mandel and he wanted us to share it with you all:
Got a call from Paul Dini who saw on the list that I guess some people mis-heard and thought I was dead.

It was a producer of Frasier named David Angell (sp?).

So if you could tell people on the board that I am alive and well in Los Angeles and appreciated the kind words.

Thanks,

David Mandel

Toyfare : KS On Dating Barbie!

BACKTALK : What’s it like being immortalized in plastic?
KEVIN SMITH : It’s pretty hot. It’s kinda mind-bending too, ’cause look at me – I’m the least active person on the planet. Having an action figure is kinda humorous.

BACKTALK : Did you have a favorite toy growing up?
KEVIN SMITH : I was a big Star Wars guy. I had every figure they made. I had the AT-AT, Millennium Falcon, X-Wing, Star Destroyer, Sand Crawler – all the stuff. I was hard-core.

BACKTALK : Silent Bob and Malibu Barbie in the Barbie Dream House: What happens?
KEVIN SMITH : Ahhh…probably nothing. I’m married in real life, and even that would feel like cheating to me. Sorry.

BACKTALK : Any downside to having an action figure made of you?
KEVIN SMITH : Somebody could take your figure and create a heinous little porno with it and post it online. It hasn’t happened yet, but I guess it could.

BACKTALK : Now that we’ve published this, it probably will.
KEVIN SMITH : Yeah. Sh**. I guess I’d look at it with curiosity and interest. But also mild disgust.

  • Here’s a scan and transcript from Kevin’s new interview in the new issue of Toyfare Magazine. Make sure you send in those home-made tapes! 😉
