  The first time an interviewer ACTUALLY let the person speak a FULL FUCKING SENTENCE <b>BEFORE</b> interrupting them! I hardly EVER see this! I got in-depth answers from him, and it was fluent and it was great. Thanks for this! THIS is how interviews SHOULD be!

  Shout-out to the interviewer for actually seeming to know his stuff when it comes to Comic Books/Comic Art as a whole. Props.

  Marvel: don&apos;t make his eyes big, don&apos;t make his suit so dark, and stop the spaghetti webbing. <br><br>Those are literally the top 3 things I remember about Spidey from the comics as a young child.

  This video inspired me beyond belief. Todd is a personal hero of mine. I have almost every issue of SPAWN! When I lived in half way homes for the mentally ill, while living off of social security, I had to sell all of my McFarlane action figures. It was heartbreaking. His art, impact, and drive has given me so much passion to have a great work ethic myself. I went from halfway homes living off of 3 dollars a day to being the most successful global speaker in the brain and mental health fields. Thank you for making this video it totally made my day. His story is incredible and I’m incredibly grateful for his inspiration, and your creation of this vid.

  This guy is not being egotistic, he&apos;s a genius and he&apos;s telling you how and why! AND he makes it exciting at the same time. Respect Todd, love Spawn.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvKbRIuWFio&amp;t=1189">19:49</a> Another reason I have the utmost respect for him, his realness, A lot of people have those thoughts &amp; try to skirt around the question &amp; act like they are so morally above others like they never once have those thoughts etc but he&apos;s open and honest about it. Got nothin but respect for that.

  Honestly, this is the best Blueprint episode so far! He&apos;s dropping a lot of knowledge. I&apos;m walking away with two pages worth of notes. I&apos;m definitely adding this to my playlist.

  The highlight of my &quot;Art&quot; major (no I never graduated), was a phone call from Todd McFarlane in early 1992, I had sent Todd a letter, (yes through the mail) to ask Todd if I could &quot;re-draw a few of his images and use them in an art fair. While on the phone, he told me about a new character he was developing that was going to be a combination of Spider-man and Batman... that character was Spawn.<br><br>It was a cool experience to talk with a Marvel comic book artist, and not any artist... it was Todd McFarlane!
