Finally playing with eleven men 🥹... see you on the other side 🫡

The wraparound illustration is a nice illustration but I'm not sure it fully works as a cover illustration. The original 2004 cover was a little boring but conveyed the comics multiple threads which the reissue's doesn't. Also you have to open the French flap to see Gosselin's surname

The occasional detailed renderings and cross-sections were very cool

This digression was executed really well. I love this sort of essayistic mode some cartoonists use every so often.

The way Gosselin switches between stories throughout the book, in this case 5 times in a single page, is truly virtuosic. The drawings on this page are also lovely. I like to think of Gosselin's style, especially this very early & scratchy incarnation, as L'Association George Grosz.

No. 19
L'Humanité Moins Un:
Thomas Gosselin's proper debut. Six moral quandaries, big and small, are woven together over the course of 57 well-written and well-drawn pages. Like François Henninger's Cent Mètres Carrés, this doesn't need to be qualified as a debut, it's just a great comic.

José Muñoz, "Jazz Festival", Espacio Mœbius

It's my favorite chapter of my favorite comic book

You forgot The Batman Who Laughs

Really disappointing. You can't be projecting that kind of stuff on a platform like that

I have a lot of patience for him but it really annoyed me lol

Forbidden?

Good to hear! Have been taking advantage of it to comment on pages I post in my comics reading thread as well. For this comic it works pretty elegantly but with something more text-heavy it'd start feeling clunky, I imagine. Also annoying the text isn't centered on browser bsky

Yoshiharu Tsuge and Frank Stack were born 1 day apart from each other in 1937 on opposite sides of the Earth and passed away within 7 weeks of each other.

RIP to two legends.

🤞🤞🤞

And yea there can't be more than five that went on to make book-length comics: Keko, Raúl, del Barrio...

That tracks haha. I've recently been trying to tot up the bibliographies of lesser known Madriz contributers (the likes of Jaume Serra, Jesús Sanz, Toño, Guzmán El Bueno...) and it's remarkable how many of them stopped making comics the year Madriz ended. So few kept up into the '90s and beyond

I'm like 60% sure the first page is an homage to the Italian artist Gino De Dominicis' In principio era l’immagine (1981-1982)

there are two things in life which I like very much.

bananas, & my dog Dave.

for this reason I have come to the tropics

with my dog Dave.

"Dave," a 1985 comic by the Portuguese cartoonist Miguel Branco from El Tebeo de la Biennal #1. My translation in the alt text

Wish I understood Catalan so I could read his intro to the 1989 issue where he mentions Madriz and Medios Revueltos

Unfortunately they don't have any of the other issues but the ones they do have are goldmines. Work I've never seen by Cifré, Pastoras in his experimental phase, Jordi Gual, Isidro Ferrer, Saladrigas and Montecarlo

Really underappreciated, probably because his work is so spread out in random anthologies. Feels like he comes from an alternate universe where Lyonel Feininger got big instead of Milton Caniff

Carlos Nine 1990

I don't know if I see Maza taking that path, don't think he's industrious as Bilva was, but I need to watch more. He's not as much of a shot-hound as, say, Can Uzun. Akliouche I think is too physically limited to be moulded into that profile. Kees Smit would be perfect for yous, I think

A color photo of Torres at work at his drawing table.

A black and white pinup of Uncle Creepy from Creepy magazine. He is sitting at his desk holding a book. A crow is resting on a skull built into the back of the chair he is sitting in.

A parody of the Love Boat called Lust Boat from Mad magazine.

The splash page for "An Eye for an Eye," his first solo story for EC Comics. The Comics Code Authority spiked it so it didn't actually get published until 1971. It shows a primitive looking man in a loincloth holding a beautiful blonde. He is running through a jungle from an angry mob that is chasing them. The crowd is shouting "Kill them! Kill the freaks!"

Today is the 94th birthday of Angelo Torres, born April 14, 1932. The last surviving artist to do work for EC Comics, he is probably best known for his several decades with Mad magazine.

The 1985 edition had some different Portuguese comics translated into Spanish. I love this one by Miguel Branco

Recently found out about this Portuguese cartoonist Renato Abreu from a comic printed in the 1989 El Tebeo de la Biennal anthology. Really interesting approach to line

Think Maza's a fantastic talent but don't see how he fits in from a squad-building perspective tbh, especially as a Bilva replacement. Dribbly, goal-scoring ten who doesn't have the pace to be uber-effective put-wide feels more like a Foden replacement, no? Do you even play with twin-10s?

Other good examples, tho for some the water sounds are on theme: "Xplosion" by Outkast, "Blazing Arrow" by Blackalicious, "Underwater" by Ghostface Killah (prod. MF DOOM!), "Push Up Ya Lighter" by The Roots and "King Kunta"

I love it so much when a beat has random water sounds in it. Why does it sound so good. Who figured out this sounded good
