less perfect but fun cartooning

right, and her sentence is used in exactly the same context in spanish, which means that even machine translation would be likely to get it right

that's not even idiomatic, it's the straightforward translation of the words. because the sentence's subject is elided (extremely common in spanish), "callarme" could mean either "[someone else] shut me up" or "[I] be silent," and you gather which one it is from context, but it's usually the latter

UK gets its own section, although Canada is mostly folded in with the US, give or take some Quebecois material. i'm curious about the Aussie/Kiwi scenes too, not seen much apart from some would-be superhero schlock

A comic page called Cartoonist Goes to Hell. In four panels a cartoonist that looks like me at work in a studio that looks like mine has a heart attack, dies and ends up right back where he started from. The only differences are the toys in the studio are gone and there are flames outside the studio window. Otherwise all the work, mess, bills due and late checks to chase down from employees are the same.

NERD INFERNO is out on April 28th from @darkhorse.com.

Every day unti then, or the world ends, or @bsky.app stops working for good, I'm posting something from the 648-pg mammoth. Today: An exaggeration from the back cover of Dork #8.

i'm going to have to do what i did with european anthology magazines years ago and page through thousands of releases to find the good shorts (and maybe serials?) and see if they add up to enough of a body of work per cartoonist

part of it is that like a lot of people i tend to have a jaundiced eye toward the 60s/70s underground these days, and also my favorite altcomix stuff doesn't really get going until the 90s. the uneasy middle ground of the 80s is extremely fertile but also extremely disorderly and often uncollected

i've been compiling a masterlist of good (or interesting) comics released during the 1980s for a future project. eurozone: done. mainstream/indie us: done. but i find myself suddenly running out of steam now that i'm at underground and alternative us comics

I stand with the 56%

i got a lot of it, and a quick check against Google's autotranslate confirms he's saying that Madriz and Medios Revueltos produced great illustrators and poster artists but not many "historietistas" (centering narrative, especially long-form narrative, in typically classicist fashion)

yeah, i was just paging through. total joan navarro-core

the greatest argentine cartoonist in the generation after breccia/muñoz imo

i had both in my download queue already, but this is fantastic!

uh oh i’m falling down a portuguese comics rabbithole, pros i can read most of it fine, cons so little of it has been scanned which means i have to spend money on books (not actually a con)

of all the Bay Area bands of the time they're the ones that were the closest to Creedence

i had a friend who was very into both so i learned a lot about them while very rarely actually listening

didn't that used to be a regular feature of their live shows, or am i thinking of phish

had to look up the soccer reference (oh i see, i've been participating in these since 2010) but i'm confident in the power and stamina of our team though i'm not expecting any easy matches

definitly bacteria, thriving in the guts of an ecosystem i have no conception of the scale of

my gut feeling is that there's going to be an even starker social divide than there ever used to be between alt/hipster and normie/frat culture, the latter is going to be feeding on nothing but slop and not even know it (so: both)

no one got sold the “you just missed out on the golden age, kids” line harder than gen x, for sure

i guess two issues (found in two different guatemalan department stores where i almost never saw any other comics) counts as a collection

yes but i believe everyone who says yes is an outlier adn should not be counted

A page from the last Eltingville Club story, taking place at the San Diego Comic Con.

NERD INFERNO is out April 28th from @darkhorse.com.

Every day until then (or the world ends) I will post something from the 648-page monstrosity. Today: Page 2 from the final Eltingville Club story. Missing the word balloons from the printed version so you can see why I have carpal tunnel.

ironically i would have fallen on the illustration side then, alex ross loomed large in thoughts about whether painting counted

remembering dial-up era arguments about whether rockwell should be considered a cartoonist or an illustrator but none of us had anywhere to upload an image to support our arguments. i told someone to look in the library for a book

perfect cartooning

ah, i see others have covered the noms. good!

For Haiti, I have an unlimited well! I'll throw in Shassy ft. Fantom, Twerk
