Reading the colophon of the Good Omens graphic novel (occupational habit!) and just realised it was printed in Italy… under an hour from me. 😍
Small world!
Not out of local pride, but the print quality is stunning. @goodomenshq.bsky.social you’ve done @colleendoran.bsky.social's work justice.

Psychiatrist-turned-comic-strip-creator Nicholas P. Dallis was born on December 15, 1911. Dallis created "Rex Morgan, M.D.," "Judge Parker," and "Apartment 3-G" but wrote under various pseudonyms to separate his comics work from his psychiatry practice.

I interviewed Rob Reiner as one of the bonuses for the @criterion.bsky.social BluRay of SPINAL TAP. We talked for an hour about the movie and his career and then they shut off the cameras and we talked about movies for another hour. A delightful, unhurried genius.

I don’t know how to process the horrific fire hose of tragedy that has been omnipresent but has spiked this weekend, and I suspect I’m not alone. We aren’t meant to carry this much suffering and be able to function at “normal” capacity. Be gentle with yourself and others, if you can.

Okay but that $4.1 million donation would keep the museum going indefinitely, it's beyond all they need
The Cartoon Art Museum is 41 years old today! Perfect time to make a year-end donation of $41 (although $410 or $4.1 million would also be appreciated).

Yes, I know it's an amazon link, but it's easier to find info there. Go find the books elsewhere if you choose. But there needs to be an omnibus of this series, and wouldn't this Michael Whelan cover from a 1980's era edition be perfect for a reissue?

I have seen many Alex Ross original paintings and they are WELL worth the trip. But if I were local, I might be more excited about drawing with Gene. Either way: go, Illinoizians, go!
As part of the #AlexRoss exhibit at the #DunnMuseum IL I'll lead a kids art program, "Draw Yourself As A Superhero." Register online. And while you're there check out the Ross original paintings, a US children's book art show, and the history of this corner of IL!

Wish someone could do a new, comprehensive collection of Tanith Lee's Flat Earth novels and shorts. This 1987 edition is crazy expensive, the cover does not do justice to the rich material, and you have to track down the other stuff. This was a huge influence on my work. amzn.to/48P8W3I

My Guillermo del Toro biography cover for Third Editions in France. The publisher made some changes for the final design, but at left is what I turned in. I did about 50% of the color, handed it over to assistant Sean Lee, and then did a recolor before final.
