Following in the concept-riffing footsteps of the long (and still–) running Informalities (a variation on Lynda Barry's Attendance Cards), my new comics series, groundloops, a riff on David Lynch's ANGRIEST DOG IN THE WORLD, Lynch's 1983-92 strip in which he would hurl his trademark word/dreamplay across the same panel sequence.

Where groundloops differs: both our little protagonist's eyes and the sky will change along with the words in each strip, a fun little themes and variations for me to tinker with and, in theory, scratch another creative itch.

Doubt this will have any regular frequency, more of one of those "whatever I feel like whenever I feel like it" things but that remains, as ever, TBD.

Anyhow, enjoy.

David Lynch's "Unrecorded Night"

in

Alas, another Lynch project we’ll never get to see. Adore the title.

Among the very few who saw “Unrecorded Night” in any form is cinematographer Peter Deming, who collaborated with Lynch on “Twin Peaks: The Return.” Speaking to The Film Stage, Deming is giving us the first, and maybe last, details about “Unrecorded Night.”

... definitely its own original thing… It was going to be a lot of episodes, because David really liked what he called ‘the continuing story.’… Twin Peaks: The Return, we weren’t really sure how many episodes there were going to be until it got into post-production, because it wasn’t really written that way; it was written as a 550-page film. So how that was sliced and diced really was a post-production question. “Unrecorded Night” was the same way. It took me three sittings to read it because it was so thick, but it was definitely not Twin Peaks. It was definitely a really interesting… mystery, I would say.

When asked about the story, Deming was cautious but revealed it was “another LA canon” for Lynch—an original mystery blending filmmaking and Old Hollywood, likely intended as a sprawling, multi-episode narrative much like “Twin Peaks: The Return.”
