Doozies meet Zits

Alan Gardner251 mins

Tom Gammill does a comic called The Doozies that runs on GoComics.com. Over the last couple of months, he’s created several self-deprecating videos to help promote the strip. In his latest video, he features Jim Borgman and Jerry Scott, co-creators of Zits.

  8. What’s even funnier is that,when the vid ends and the Utube links appear at the bottom…After “Tom Gammil Lesson Six”, the next segments are “Stripper Cop-Stripper Coppercize”, and “Alex’s Death Wish”. ( I did not click on those. )

    The part about the cartoon hand was good.

    I have found that it is best for myself to draw my drafts not in public. In working for facial expressions I tend to mimic, and people either pity me or think I might be insulting them.

    Now that’s funny!

  11. Maybe it’s me – but I laughed out. Really just flat out giggled several times. My hubby has long passed me Zits over the breakfast table (ok – coffee table – I don’t chew that early in the day, but I make up for it later) as it sometimes terrifyingly evoked our son’s teenage days. But damn if that Gammill fella doesn’t crack me up. Is there a medium in which he is not a stitch? Do ya sing, Tom? Play the saxaphone? Needless to say, I’ve become a diehard Doozie’s fan. May I say – amen, brother for even giving us a chance to say that fabulous word: “Doozies.” Now if someone would only drag “fink” or “rat fink” back to the American lexicon I could die a happy woman. And LOVE the short video format. As Miles Davis famously said: Get in, say it, get out.
    ok, ok, I’ll get out of here.
    WAIT – Am I crazy or is the spam bot test not also hilarious.

    JAG

  12. Super funny, as always. If Tom keeps up the good work, The Doozies will be his most recognizable credit!

    not when I get the equation wrong it’s not

  16. Tom,

    Never has two minutes gone by so quickly. I laughed, and when it was over I was sad. I almost called you just to hear your voice again, but I didn’t want you to think I was weird. So if you do get a few dozen calls later tonight from someone who doesn’t speak, but just breathes into the phone, that’s not me, okay? ‘Cause I would never do that. Never.

  18. Great video! The tone is one that you seldom see in people who’ve had success, which puts you in a very small-but-cool group comprised of you and Steve Carrell.
    Hope you’re not adverse to my selling contraband Doozies cups out of the back of my car at ComicCon next year!

  19. The Doozies is really good.
    Tom, let me know how to start lobbying the L.A. Times and the Pasadena Star News to get them to publish it in the paper.

    The Youtube videos are awesome too.
    How did you get the Zits guys?

  20. Love The Doozies!! When are they going to stop
    using my shirts………………………!!!!!
    The one with the Grants is brilliant. Keep up the
    great work!!

  23. Zits, hemorrohoids,and boils have NOTHING over that Tom Gammill. He’s a DOOZIE, he’s a keeper, and makes me (and probably some of you other twisted people out there in Doozieland) snort with laughter.

  24. Tom, is there no end to your talent? Where can I buy those t-shirts and cups?

  25. Dear Tom,
    I am your biggest fan!
    I follow your “how to draw” videos every week and continue to improve in my craft. Are there any action figures of you available? Are there any of your wife? What is your favorite color? What are you wearing? Where do you live?
    I can’t wait to meet you.
