🔹 What: SQUAWKING DEAD's Jackbox Games Chairity Livestream
🔹 When: SATURDAY, February 5th @ 3:00PM (Eastern/US)
🔹 Where: Subscribe to both our YouTube & Twitch channels, as well as follow us on Ko-fi.com/SQUAWKINGDEAD, so you'll be ready to play!
🔹 Why: We're raising money on behalf of Vanessa, a #TWDFamily member in desperate need of financial assistance.
🔹 How: We'll be taking donations through our Ko-fi page on behalf of Vanessa during the event. Your donations prior to each Jackbox Game will determine whether you are eligible to play (the more you give, the greater your chances of playing). Whether or not you are eligible to play, each dollar you give acts as an entry towards a prize that we give away after a round or rounds of Jackbox Games. After each giveaway, we wipe the slate clean and start over with a new Jackbox Game or round of Jackbox Games leading up to the next giveaway.

Tune In To Main Event:


  • First thing's first, here's what you need to do in order to participate
    • Subscribe to at least both YouTube & Twitch channels and enable all notifications in order to play. The link to the actual YouTube event is just above. You can click the button to get a reminder prior to the event to receive a reminder ahead of when the livestream starts.
    • To be able to play and/or receive entries prior to a giveaway round, you'll need to create an account and follow our Ko-fi page: Ko-fi.com/SQUAWKINGDEAD
  • Shout out to Renee L'Archeveque, who's giveaway alerted me to Vanessa's GoFundMe campaign to raise money to repair her collapsed roof (if you cannot make our livestream for whatever reason or you missed it entirely, please click the link to her campaign and consider donating directly)
  • Dave gives folks a little background to why he was so moved to throw this massive charity event.
  • How the event is structured:
    • Every Jackbox Game or round of Jackbox Games is followed by a giveaway prize (more on that below) and each Jackbox Game we play has a limited amount of player slots.
    • To determine who will occupy those slots, we open the floodgates to allow folks to donate to our Ko-fi page, prior to each game. In the message field to your donation, please include one of your social media accounts (be sure you're following SQUAWKING DEAD from that account) so that we can DM you the room code and the link to join us on stream (we can also do this directly on Ko-fi, but just in case you miss it or it doesn't work, we'll be ready).
    • After closing the doors to your contributions, we tally the amounts given and the speed at which they were given (in that order) to determine who is eligible to play. The largest donations will occupy those slots (if the last few candidates donated the same amounts, we check the speed at which they donated to determine who plays).
    • We will DM those users the game's room code as well as the link to join us on stream through Ko-fi and/or the Social Media account they provided in their donation message.
    • Regardless of whether a donor is eligible to play, each dollar given acts as an entry towards the giveaway we announced prior to starting a Jackbox Game or round of Jackbox Games, so anyone has a chance at winning!
    • After the game or round of games, we will be spinning a wheel containing all the entries of everyone who's donated prior to a Jackbox Game or round of Jackbox Games (again, regardless of whether they were eligible to play - every dollar counts!) to determine the winner of that giveaway. After the wheel determines the winner, we wipe the board clean  of entries and announce the next giveaway and start the process from scratch with another Jackbox Game or round of Jackbox Games leading to the next giveaway prize.
  • To add a fun layer to the event, the winner of each Jackbox Game we play will receive a SQUAWKING DEAD Classic T-Shirt of their choice from our merch store!
  • Before we continue on to prizes, please take a moment to follow us on all our social media. Be sure to turn on all post and stories notifications so that you don't miss a thing. Links to follow us are available on SQUAWKINGDEAD.com

The 2nd in our NEW segment highlighting the cousins in our #TWDFamily Tree! Kirk Manley is a Graphic Artist that hit a major stride when he embraced his passion for #TWDUniverse (via podcasting, of all mediums) and decided to accompany it with a series of Tribute Art pieces. His incredible fan art is now well-known among the community and it was a distinct pleasure to be able to chat with him!
There were some spicy takes we trimmed out but, all in all, not a crazy amount edited out of the original recording; however, now that I think about it, where did over a half-hour of our recording go? Find out here:

  • Check out the poster that set the wheels in motion, leading up to this interview. Sent by our 🎖SURVIVORS TIER MEMBER, Aliza J.
  • Most of the reason why we got together was to spread the word about Kirk's upcoming exhibition of his new Season 10 & Season 11 of The Walking Dead Tribute Art. Find out more, here:
  • As you might expect, having a background in inking and penciling comic books, Kirk fell in love with The Walking Dead comic book, first.
  • When the show came out, he teamed up with Jeff Marsick to create a podcast called Biters (which still exists today)! Doing that helped him launch his tribute art.
  • After guest hosting on Jason Cabassi & Karen Koppett's The Walking Dead `Cast, they hooked him up with WalkerStalker Con to do the event posters, the rest was history.
  • Notice that Kirk did the art for his guest spot on the Under The Comic Covers podcast episode he was on.
  • "Finding his voice" (his style): In trying to create his tribute art (to the TV show) Kirk didn't want to emulate Kirkman's comic book. Here's one of his earlier attempts he mentions:
  • He's always trying to do something different with his work, rather than each work looking the same as the next.
  • Taking inspiration from well-known comic book artists (click the name, in the photo caption, to learn more about these artists):
    Adam Hughes
    Neal Adams
    Steve Rude
    Mike Mignola
    Olivier Coipel
  • ...and also fellow #TWDFamily members:
    Rob Prior
    Scott Spillman
    AJ Moore
    Jason Palmer
    (left) Benny Miller
    (right) Robin Overton
    Chris / Inner Demon Cross
  • Necessity is the mother of invention: doing it all yourself means Kirk went from inking/penciling to coloring. This is what allowed him to further develop his style.
  • What's Kirk's favorite work? Basically the last one! But his Last Day on Earth (The Last Supper) piece represented a turning point in his career.
  • Noticing that he was receiving more feedback on his tribute art, while honing-in on his style, he moved away from inking comic panels and focused more on the tributes. Started working on other franchises, such as Marvel, DC, and even TV shows like LOST:
  • Kirk talks about his (non)interaction with celebrities (and mostly fans). Honorable mentions: Josh McDermitt (AKA Eugene Porter) & Greg Nicotero.
  • Kirk admits his reluctance in meeting the actors, but recognizes that it's because of their likeness (and talent) that he's able to do this and wants to express his gratitude.
  • Waxing on Jeffrey Dean Morgan (AKA Negan). Waning on Norman Reedus (AKA Daryl Dixon). Honorable mentions: Andrew Lincoln (AKA Rick Grimes) & Danai Gurira (AKA Michonne)
  • Creativity during the pandemic: the birth of his vaccinate series posters.
  • ...which gets as talking about Daryl's various ships, as well as #HateBang-gate (Negan & Maggie Rhee): the latter stoked quite a reaction!
  • The Golden Age of Television means that more television shows than The Walking Dead are fighting for Kirk's attention, which has affected his relationship with TWD. Meaning to catch up on Fear The Walking Dead (along with our recommendation to watch The Walking Dead: World Beyond).
  • Coming from the perspective of a lover of the comic book, first, Andrew Lincoln leaving the show and Carl Grimes dying signaled a sea change in his relationship with the show. Along with the transition from zombie horror to (soap opera) drama, it just feels different. Honorable mention: Star Trek.
  • Still wants to do comic book illustration. Incoming project (collaboration with Rob Prior and Jeff Marsick): Night of the Cadillacs. (Keep checking Scout Comics for availability!)
  • Discussing his involvement in SCAM, billed as "X-Men meets Oceans Eleven".
  • Taking time out to discuss his first project/love: Z-Girl and the 4 Tigers.
  • Encouraging/Pressuring Kirk to catch up on FearTWD's 6th season (do it for Aliza, Kirk)! Likes what he's hearing about Season 7.
  • We were able to peek at the Limited Exclusive, Numbered and Signed Event Poster only after the interview. Reminding you to check out his new tribute art - this weekend only!
