The Canadian natives McKinnon and Jahchan make up 8Bit Brownies, the production company behind the pair’s well-received sci-fi sketch comedy web series Galacticast. In fact A Comicbook Orange itself is a spinoff of sorts from Galacticast, where it first appeared as segment back in May of 2006. It wasn’t until June of 2007 that the series debuted on its own, picking up a loyal following of comic book enthusiasts.
For season 3, they have left the apartment green screen stage behind and set up shop at NAS Productions, with Josh Allard directing. After a year and a half hiatus, the series is back and fully independent once again following its six-month licensing deal with NNN.
The latest episode (above) takes a closer look at Seaguy: The Slaves of Mickey Eye from Vertigo along with a one-on-one interview with comic writer-artist Ben Templesmith
(30 Days of Night). As we’ve come to expect, there’s still sketch segments of the versatile comic-geek McKinnon in various characters, like this week take on Seaguy’s would-be love interest, ‘Seagal.’ Adorable.I asked McKinnon if she’s excited about the return of her series after the extended hiatus. “Most of my excitement comes from making content again… indie or not, I just want to entertain people,” she said. “It’s actually a difficult relaunch because our previous audience is still subscribed to Pulp Secret and may not even know that we’re back. As a result, we’re rebuilding our brand from scratch just as we did 2 years ago, which is not an easy task. Thankfully, we have some amazing geeky friends who are tweeting and blogging about the show to help us get our numbers back.”
The release plan for the 10-episode season includes one new episode every Wednesday on site and on YouTube for the first five weeks, then a two week break, and finally the remaining five. The team will head down to Comic-Con in San Diego next month to bang out a number of interviews which will be banked up for Season 4.
