  submitted a comic to a literary journal today. comics are malleable and I am a cartoonist. I think of the terrible gag strips I sent to The New Yorker in 1989 and the very nice, very deserved rejection they got. and I plot my next comic.

  I loved everything about Books with Pictures in Portland. Friendly, approachable, great selection, inclusive. Terrific store with happy patrons! I’m in town for #xoxofest and wish the store was in my town!

  March Modok Madness is coming! I never posted about the fact that I did a second MODOK in 2012. I mentioned the first one I did here, but not the second. What? You’ve never heard of March MODOK Madness? You’ve never heard of MODOK? Read about him!

  Captain Marvel and Captain Marvel As I continue to catch up on reading RSS feeds what I have not read in a long long while, the ArtLung gaze turns its eye onto the wonderful blog Every Day is Like Wednesday by run by J.

  SHRIPP! Adam Warren on sound effects in comics I love Adam Warren’s work so much. His comic Empowered comic manages to be satirical and yet dramatic, ridiculous and yet science fictional and superheroic. He also has a penchant for cyberpunk and pop culture, which is wonderful. Quote of the day is from him on sound effects, contemplating his work on Empowered Volume 2,...

  Maybe 2 days. I looked at this Evel Knievel ad, the back cover of World’s Finest #243 from January 1977, far too much. Probably when we moved to the Philippines it was lost. Maybe to Goodwill? Maybe in a yard sale? Maybe in the trash. I loved comics. And in the Philippines I learned to love Asian media,...

  Notebook Cover, 1985 YET. ANOTHER. COVER. From High School. The kid in the uniform is called “The Punk” and I have a few drawings of him. Not particularly interesting in retrospect. The backstory for The Punk was something rather like Kick-Ass. Basically, a teenage kid, trying to be a “realistic” superhero. No powers, some cool gadgets. In some...

  Comics and the Law In about 1985, at San Diego Comic-Con, I received a free copy of the weekly Comic Buyer’s Guide (Wikipedia says it’s the longest running English-language periodical reporting on the American comic book industry). I got myself a subscription and I was hooked. It was a tabloid, newsprint at the time. But I loved getting that...

  Warren Ellis Notices Massive Sqwertz Well this is cool: Warren Ellis noticed Brett’s article “How to sell your book or comic for the iPad & iPhone without Apple’s help.” Warren Ellis is pretty awesome. You may remember Massive Sqwertz as the site I did the theme for. I also read and enjoy it. You can follow Massive Sqwertz too: @massivesqwertz.

  Massive Sqwertz Psst… just between you and me, can I tell you about a new webcomic I think you should look forward to? I’ve known Brett Jackson since sometime in the 20th Century. At the time I believe he was the prime mover in the San Diego Macromedia Users Group. He is soft-launching a webcomic, and I...

  The Comics Journal: Online & Off For some cultural things I much prefer the journalism about a thing more than the thing itself. Sports is one area, for example, I really enjoy the reporting of Bob Costas and HBO’s Real Sports show. Another area where the reportage gets more attention than the thing itself is in comics. You may or may...
