66: Drawing on Your Talents with Officer Joseph Arnold
This week, the boys from 3CT are joined by Police Officer and professional animator, Joseph Arnold, to help promote his artistic contribution to the soon to be released fictional graphic novel, The Thin Blue Line. Joe and the guys discuss his personal, professional and artistic experiences and how these all helped shaped his participation in this unique project. We also learn how Joe worked with award winning writer Mike Baron, best known for his acclaimed contributions to Marvel Comics' The Punisher, DC's The Flash and Dark Horse Comics' Star Wars series.
Joe’s artistic talent and his knowledge of police work are extremely useful in visually portraying the experiences of most police officers and the people that we serve. He also explains how our listeners can obtain copies of The Thin Blue Line and help to provide additional support to this largely unprecedented form of community education and entertainment.
