Tom Bancroft

NEED YOUR COMMENTS!We, here at Funnypages Productions (that's Tom and Rob, primarily), try to be careful about "letting the cat out of the bag" about what we are working on or planning for our company. Usually, that's because we can't. NDA's and…

"Wow, I made your "favorites" list, what an honor. Thanks for the kind email too. Your "Little Angel" strip looks fun, I really like the dog design. Very funny/cute. Blessings to you in all you do!

BTW, I don't post here much if you want to see more…"

"sounds great. I was turned onto your work by a interview that was on character design and have you as a favorite website, and I bought your book but gave it to a student who I was teaching. I also have an issue of opposing forces."

Brother, you're too kind! I really dig animation and Son of Samson is to me very therapeutic! My speed is determined by the speed of my decisions on the drawing board and just letting go and allowing my bad drawings to come out of my system. I hope I'll get the hang of it when I reach 80. Your site feeds me so much with inspiration that I wish I was right there with you guys, seeing it happen and being a part of it somehow. When I was a kid I dreamed of doing something similar to what you guys are doing, kind of Christian Disney style or Christian Asterix sort of gig. The Lord placed me doing main stream superhero stuff so Son of Samson fulfills that cartoony urge in me, specially because I like to control the outcome of it all, from thumbs to finish. Lord knows what He does. I'd probably be a frustrated animator or inbetweener or clean up guy. Comics is it for me, at least for now.
I'll be looking forward to meet you someday, Tom.

HI Tom,

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the new Board members. I wanted to stop in and say thanks for being involved with CCAS! If you have any input or would like to be involved with anything in particular, please let me and Eric Jansen (Membership Coordinator for CCAS) know by contacting us both through the site. We'll be making several announcements in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. To see a bit more about me, check out my profile here on the site. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.

At Your Service,

Scott A. Shuford

Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."

Hi Tom, I've checked out your site many times, and posted you a note when I bought your book, saying how much I loved it. You're an inspiration, nice to bump into you on this site too. Catch you round.

Thanks for inviting me to be your friend here, Tom. I checked your site and it is really inspiring, to say the least! WOW!!! LOVE it!
A young man I know who is eleven yrs old, loves Tomo. His name is Lucas and he created some drawing inspired by it. Great to do what we do and inspire others to follow our footsteps.
