Jackey Neyman Jones

Jackey is not only one of the last surviving actors of Manos: The Hands Of Fate, but the only one willing to talk about it. She is living in the belief that, “if I can’t be the best, I’ll make the best from the worst.”

Jackey played Debbie, the child star of Manos. Her dad, Tom Neyman, played the lead role of The Master and was Creative Director, making all the props and artwork while mom designed and sewed the iconic Masters Robe along with the wrestling wives ethereal gauzy gowns. Their family pet, Shanka the Doberman was cast in the role as The Master’s evil dog. Even her great grandmother’s handmade quilt made an appearance on the bed, making it truly a family film.

Jackey is a professional artist, actress, and the author of her memoir, "Growing Up With Manos: The Hands of Fate How I was the child star of the worst movie ever made, and lived to tell the story"

Manos has held a fervent fan base since it's public debut, November 23, 1993 on Mystery Science Theater 3000, and has won their annual Turkey Day award for favorite bad film four times over the years.

Dave Warren

Jackey Neyman Jones

Somewhere between a hug and a middle finger lives Dave Warren (aka El Arto).

A Simpsons veteran who helped shape Springfield’s golden age (including the movie and the merch you still hoard), a Pinky and the Brain conspirator, and an artist lucky enough to ride shotgun on Sons of Anarchy’s legendary run. For decades, his work has thrived where pop culture and attitude collide—much like your favorite cartoon character giving you a noogie before buying you a beer.

Now he’s crashing Mid Valley Comic Art Expo armed with markers, questionable life advice, and stories from the trenches of animation, comics, and TV. 

Want a sketch? A behind-the-scenes war story? Proof that art from the heart doesn’t have to play nice? You’re in the right place.
