#247 - Playing in Lee Falk's Sandbox

We have some phun (with a PH) and discuss playing in Lee
Falk’s sandbox. The concept of playing in a sandbox is about
playing with someone else’s creation, ie the Phantom. Jermayn
Parker, Stephen East and Dan Fraser are joined
with Shane Foley and Matt Kyme who are two creators
who thrive playing in the sandbox.

All creators go some way into adding the “toys” that creators can
play with in the sandbox. However today we’re getting a bit more
specific. Today we’re discussing how creators utilise specific
stories to create their own sandboxes to play in. We’ll be
focusing mainly on Lee Falk stories.


Some of the topics we discussed are:


Both creators using oodles of Lee Falk story
references. For example Frew #1938/9 had three story references.

How they get these ideas of adding or filling gaps in past
stories.

Why Lee Falk stories and not Tony DePaul or the
Team Fantomen stories.

Why is Lee Falk important to them.

Do you like the Fantastical Lee Falk stories?

How do you pay tribute to his stories?

Do you see your work as 'Lore'?

What are some pitfalls of you must look out for when playing
in the sandbox?

Would Shane Foley ever create stories with Kit and
Heloise?

Do you use the Phantom Bible?


Shane Foley's defense of the 9th Phantom and him being
portratyed as the 'Runt'?

Their upcoming projects

Are Matt Kyme and Shane Foley coming to Sydney
Supanova in 2023?



Others who have spoken about the sandbox concept include Paul
Mason and Jeff Weigel, we recommend giving their
podcasts a re-listen for some other perspectives on the topic
