Recently, friend of the site googum<\/a> went digging through his musty garage<\/s> well-maintained archives and pulled out this old Twisted ToyFare Theatre<\/i> strip, because why should we realistically have to wait 95 years for an abandoned copyright to expire? If the company that owns it isn't interested in using it or doesn't exist anymore, give it to the public immediately.<\/p>\n

Anyway, writer Jon Gutierrez piped up to report that he still had the storyboards for the issue, and shared those as well. So here, enjoy this comparison of the final product and the earliest stages:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Ah yes, the Spider-Man musical. Not sure if that feels like it should be too for a ToyFare<\/i> reference, or 50 years ago.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Andrew Lloyd Web-Head\" is just a good joke, period.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Jon revealed that TTT<\/i> \"scripts\" were a melange of storyboards like this, full scripts sometimes, and even \"Marvel method\" outlines. No shock there.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, the \"if you're here for the girl, take her\" gag was cut simply so they could have more space for Green Goblin\/Bono (\"Green Boblino\"?) to sing.<\/p>\n

<i>And now, some more OAFEry:<\/i><\/H5>
