Muley’s 2009 Christmas Whine
Well, hello from your favorite MAW Productions Editor (the only one, in fact). By now, you’re aware that I had an ugly spill whie performing a mascot for a local team and broke my arts arm. The plan was to forego any Chritmas video this year, but due to the inspiration of all my friends, Muley did a quick little video for 2009 (with the help of Martheus Wade who had a ‘helping hand’ in the making of this video).
Click the mule to see the video.
Also, Martheus had a hand in the creation of a popular character of the MuleyVerse, the holiday icon we all fear: SANTA FISH! Click here to learn more about Santa Fish.
Superman Celebration was Awesome!!!
We had a blast at Superman Celebration this year. Thanks to the city of Metropolis for inviting us. This year was extra special as this was the first convention that Martheus and Janet Wade’s son, Anakin, attended. As you can see by the photo at left, he was the coolest person in the MAW Productions crew. (More photos will be put up here soon.) Lin Workman, Tim Brown, Andrew Chandler, Adam and Penny Shaw, Jay Chupe, Kevin Williams, Janet Wade and Martheus all did an awesome job with the programing for Artist and Writers Alley.
It was a blast to meet Gail Simone and John Ostrander. Martheus got to show both of them his portfolio featuring a Wonder Woman story that he is writing and illustrating. The story will be placed up for free in the art gallery and the web stories page, so keep a look out. It was also fun to hang out with Mike Norton. He and Martheus attended the University of Memphis and since then, Mike has sky rocketed to the top of the comic book charts at DC Comics.
Muley and “Wonder Woman” Joan hosted the Kids’ Costume Contest and it was so much fun with 53 entrants! Lots of great kids participated, and the audience was wonderful. Superman was fun for Muley to banter with while the judges deliberated.
Jetta was a hit. Thanks to everyone who attended our panels on Friday and Saturday. Revelations about the future of Jetta and information on the movie option was discussed. A fun time was had by all. We hope the city invite us back in 2010. If so, we will see you guys next year. Make plans early and come out to have some fun.

MULEY’S COMIX AND STORIES #1
Muley's Comics and Stories
If you haven’t got this funny book (no pun intended) yet, you should.
Muley’s Comics and Stories is a great book. To not get it is to miss out on some hilarity. Muley the Mule and Friends is what you get when the Peanuts meet the Muppets and is a fun for the entire family!
Where does series creator, Kevin Williams, get his ideas for these hilarious stories? Real life.
From Kevin:
Folks have asked me: “Where do comic strip ideas come from?”
Well, sometimes the ideas stem from something you’ve read or seen, other times by role-playing ideas with your characters in your head.
