Shigeru Mizuki's THE DEFINITIVE YOKAI FIELD GUIDE is OUT TODAY!!!

This book was Mizuki's personal request to have translated. He considered it his most important work, combining his career as a cartoonist and folklorist. It gives Mizuki's personal thoughts on what yokai are.

*Graphic novel of the week! 'Preparing to Bite' by @keilerjean.bsky.social and published by @dandq.bsky.social shows realistic and funny snapshots of family life, partially over the pandemic years. Roberts's spare line drawings nicely capture mundane and absurd aspects of daily life.

Just when we think Sprng has sprung, the ground goes cold yet again on this #MoominMonday. Also: justice for carrots! We quite like them...

A three panel cartoon. Two scientists walk across a green campus towards their lab. Across the three panels the season changes from winter to spring. In the third panel one of them says "That guy is one VERY committed botanist!" At the bottom of the panel is a balding bespectacled scientist making notes while staring at a daffodil. His whole body, except his head, shoulders and forearms, is buried in the ground. Looking back at the previous panels reveals that he has risen out of the ground along with the daffodils: in the first just his bald head amongst the daffodils greens, in the second as the flowers emerge so does his head.

The Woodchipper gets a lovely review from @undertheradar.bsky.social: "Another great book from Ollmann [that] smartly balances minor modern sorrows with weirdness and humor."

A panel from Roaming by Jillian and Mariko Tamaki that captures trying to squeeze a takeout container into a too-full garbage can.

A panel from Roaming by Jillian and Mariko Tamaki. I love how it incidentally captures trying to squeeze a takeout container into a too-full garbage can -- a weirdly familar moment I've never seen in print.

So this broke me a bit

("Ducks" by Kate Beaton)

A gothic castle in the transylvanian mountains. A great bear of a man, waring a stovepipe hat and carrying a cane: "Now that you are my bride, you will never leave this castle!" His new bride replies "Wow! Your library is amazing!" He continues "Beyond the castle is a high wall with no gate, and beyond that is a deep. Dark forest with no path." She pulls a volume from a great bookcase, "I suppose it's my library too, now we're married." He goes on "The forest is crawling with ravenous wolves, malignant birds and the spirits of long-dead travellers." Ignoring him, carrying a pile of hardbacks "So many books! I can't believe My luck!" He has sprouted wings, claws and cloven hoofs. "When the sun sets, I transform into a wild beast and soar into the night, seized by a terrible bloodlust!" She sits, examining her books as he flies out the window "Ok. I'll stay here and read. See you in the morning"

Cover of DO ADMIT! THE MITFORD SISTERS AND ME by Mimi Pond

Really loved this graphic history (w/some memoir elements from the author/artist) about the British Mitford sisters, low-level aristocrats who interacted with many notable figures of the 20th century (Churchill, Hitler, Kennedys, De Gaulle, etc.)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitford...

The blue cover of Do Admit!, which features cameos of all six sisters and the author lying down looking up at them

22) Do Admit!: The Mitford Sisters and Me by Mimi Pond

I’m a sucker for a good biography and before this, I didn’t understand why people were so fascinated by the Mitford sisters. Now I do.
