Miami Review of Comics has been really solid. I don't get to it very often but New York Comics & Picture-Story Symposium on youtube is good too

Shota looked great even with the walks! Amaya with clutch double is very encouraging too. I'm a little worried about the defense from the young guys but we'll see how it goes!

Yoshikazu Ebisu Cover. #manga #altcomics #art

Yoshikazu Ebisu.

Sent my email. Do yours if you want. Pulling your money from a corporation seems to solicit more results than calling a representative. Plus, it just feels good to stop paying fuck face bozos to the best of your ability.

Beautiful. So much more menace in the redraw. The little shift in the foreground characters's posture 👌🏻

Wow this page rules! The style looks like some kind of bootleg Johnny Craig. I'm in love with all th awkwardness flourishes.

Very sick. Appreciate the link!

If anybody knows how I can get my hands on children of go illustrated pamphlets, please (PLEASE) let me know.

I'm at Angoulême and when french people find out the comics I sell are American, they say 'oh, is this comic about le hot dog? Is it about the bang bang pew pew guns? Is it about le toxic male cowboy?'

These are secretly all their favorite things so I'm making lots of $$$

Noah Van Sciver is probably your best bet. Although I think he's already done a book about the Grateful Dead. Brian Blomerth might work too if you're okay with everyone being dogs. I doubt Max Clotfelter would sign on but his style is probably what you're looking for too.

Recently finished page of inks. Hopefully it’s not too dirty for the new #altcomics feed!!

Very nice lines! Very nice rough hatch!

Anybody who knows anything knows that drew is the best!

the cover for Hollow Faces, Merciless Moons by William Scott Home. There is a drawing of a blank eyed mob of people in robes staring at the viewer, and raising their arms to the sky in supplication. The sky is nightime, with a full moon.

i am still sort of piecing through what i need to replace after getting mugged, but one of the more frustrating things is that i had finally tracked down a copy of this book. if anyone has a line on a reasonably priced copy (not the $1000 a dork on abebooks is asking for), can you please let me know

Cool project getting started over here! I'll be using the tags and pinning the feed.

Whenever he drinks, Bugs Bunny breaks out his Edward G. Robinson impression.

Do you know how his translations compare to other translators working off material from the same era?

I do wonder if there's a peculiarity to the time period? For example, there's a particular flavor to the writing in golden age American comics. It's not all the same writer, and there's certainly variation, but it's all got a similar clunky quality.

Great point. The only thing they all have in common is the translator. I appreciate your perspective. I feel like I'm able to form my own detailed critical thinking with the artwork in comics, but taking a detailed look at the writing doesn't come as natural.

Maybe it's because I'm not a great writer on the prose level either, but I've often appreciated his work for the same reason you take issue. As I understand it, a lot of his awkwardness is designed to mimic the awkwardness of the original text. His work on Ebisu Yoshikazu's comics is a great example

The cover of Double Digest #3: Hairball Text: Double Digest 3 Hairball By McGrane and Faecke $10 May 2024 Image: Two rats in 18th century coats ascend a stairway towards another rat in a seventeenth century gown standing in front of the ruins of a castle.

Letter to Babette - my comic from Double Digest #3: Hairball published by @pete-faecke.bsky.social

the theme of Hairball was funny animals so i made a gothic vampire rat comic.
1/4

Yeah I'm in the same boat. I missed a couple shows due to covid and it wound up being very very expensive. Gonna Trina get some more work done in 25 and get back on the circuit in 26.

WIP

I love the way the 3rd panel looks in this state and I think a similar composition might make a nice painting.

Really really beautiful lines on this. The shapes in the legs and feet are particularly impressive. A perfect example of the beautiful simplicity DC cranked out in the 60s. There's a real calmness to this type of drawing that I strive for myself.

Finished a page of inks for the first time in a lil while. Feels nice.

ITS FRIDAY

Idk if it's incredible casting or incredible cartooning but everybody in that Flintstones movie looks exactly like a Hannah Barbera cartoon.
