Comic Con 2011: Karen Knighton
I learned from Karen Knighton that to get a table in the Small Press area, the artist must have a new comic for the convention and that comic must pass CCSD's approval. Ms. Knighton's new comic this year is Snowsville; it is a 20 page, printed and handmade, edition of 50. Snowsville is more visual [...]
Loki! Loki! Loki!
Lookee! https://youtu.be/vJUDu40Z_RY Here's a review of Loki 1 by the fabulous Chad Denton. This "animation" is based on the miniseries, which was wonderful and beautiful and just run ten or eleven positive adjectives together and you get the picture. Here's a rather breathless interview with the brilliant Esard Ribic. Hm, we had some fun in [...]
Only the very very rich matter in America now
Sigh. Why do the comics have to tell us this (again)? On the other hand, once we all know this is true, we can get on with breaking the U.S. into smaller and better countries. I really think that's the only way to stop the rot and horror. Like Bradley Manning being held in conditions [...]
Disney Decisions
"This is pretty darn big! The Beat reports Marvel has left Diamond Book Distributors. Marvel had easily been DBD's biggest account.

Part cyborg, all blockhead.Jason...I...you...um... I love these comics. Buy them. You'll be glad you did. The first Weapon Brown, before Blockhead's War, has a Christmas story in it.
Millennial Generation Hero Interview with Daniel Debowy, M.D., Ph.D.
"GM: The question that I was too cowardly to ask at your presentation and the first question everyone I talk to about your presentation asks is: How and where does Barack Obama fit into the millennial generation hero mythology? Or does he? "DD: I think that before I answer that, I should clarify that what [...]
Google Legree
Some of you might recall when I blogged about the starting to start-up comic publisher, Furies Publishing, (Furies, not furries) and asked that y'all go look them over and click on their Google ads. Well, thank you, all those clicks added up to almost $100! And then Google pulled their ads for some obscure reason [...]
