Luke is the type of improviser to ask "is anyone going to be a complicated parental figure in this scene" and not wait for an answer

“Come on, don’t leave me like this!” Taylor pouted. “The holidays longer like bad perfume, you can run but only so far.”

"You cannot escape the ugly jumpers, Tom.” (From Taylor)

"Aw, Taylor, you know I ain't much one for those stupid traditions of Pa's. I ain't even sure I'm goin' to the family Christmas party."

Could you do something for The Grape Depression? I'd honestly love to see any character from that play but particularly Pinocchio or the Blue Fairy.

Pinocchio my weak little boy

Also thank you so much @cartoonhourglass who also asked for Pinocchio hehe

Movie Poster for The Grape Depression, inspired by The Grapes of Wrath (1940). This definitely my favorite poster so far, it had some interesting challenges to overcome but I really love how it turned out! Let me know what other longforms you'd like to see classic movie posters of!

OG poster for comparison below:

UHM OKAY WAIT

IN GRAPE DEPRESSION

ALESSANDRA (the blue fairy) SAYS PINNOCHIO WILL JUST BE A DEAD KID.

WHEN HE DIES AND TURNS TO WOOD HE REFERENCES THIS.

HE HEARD.

PINNOCHIO HEARD THIS. HE HEARD THE FAIRY SAY HE WAS “a bit sh**“ AND HEARD HER SAY HIS DEATH WOULDNT MATTER BECAUSE GEPPETTO ALREADY HAS A DAUGHTER AND A VINYARD.

THIS POOR CHILD.

HE ALSO HEARD HIS FATHER’S DISTRESS AT THE IDEA OF LOSING HIM BUT HE HEARD HIM STILL NOT MAKE A DECISION.

NOW IM WONDERING HOW MUCH ELSE HE OVERHEARD. WHAT IF HE KNEW HE DIED. WHAT IF HE JUST SAID HE JUST “had a little sleep” TO COMFORT HIS FATHER.

WHAT IF HE FEELS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING EVERYONE FEEL OKAY ALL THE TIME. WHAT IF HE FEELS GUILTY.

THE GRAPE DEPRESSION

Once again the boys at Shoot From The Hip have created another masterpiece.

Not for the first time, Tom Mayo steals the show as yet another sweet and endangered child, frail of limb but innocent and good at hugs

The Don Vincenzio (AJ keeps making up foreign names and the others keep getting them wrong lol, see The Phantom Begruvia) may or may not be connected to the Sicilian Mafia. We know he has enemies, because they kidnapped his son once upon a time

The Don missing his own son and wanting another "my heart is starving" and being heartless until he gets his son back

Maria being an interesting counterpoint to this because she is also willing to go to great lengths for the sake of protecting her family (and getting back to how things were before; both she and the Don want to go back to their own happy family past)

AJ seemed to be having a lot of fun playing the Messed-Up Wooden Boy Thing, so that's nice for him

Geppetto being a father desperate to save his children made me feel Emotions...especially when he offered to give up his soul rather than kill Pinocchio...when he cried over Pinocchio's wooden remains...

Tom making his dying outstretched hand turn to a little wooden treelike thing was a nice touch. I expected nothing less of my beloved. Not to mention the bit where he came back from the dead and said "I have Seen the Great Beyond!! A great beast waits in the dark for us all!! :)" Lovecraftian but without the racism. All hail our unproblematic king.

That last spooky bit, working with all the other Spooky Bits, the inhuman wooden man-boy, the sister willing to murder to keep her family alive, the Don threatening his tenants unless they give him a son, and yet the Spookiness is balanced by Love; they work together like apples and caramel. A perfect story for this autumn time of year.

All my favorite SFTH plays balance humor with serious Dramatic Feelings. I think the Grief and Love and Drama make the humor more meaningful and more unexpected. The guys aren't afraid to make the characters genuinely care about each other. (And honestly the stories they come up with are Pretty Darn Good even when you ignore the humor part. Funny how people make better stories when they're not trying to fit the standards of What's Marketable or What's Clever and Cool.)

In conclusion, your honor, I love Tom so much
