Nobody has, will, or can read even 1% of the greatest literature ever written. Every canon is incomplete, every library is only a fragment, even the most knowledgeable reader is a blind mouse in an open field. Every encounter is a miracle.

Tell me your most life-affirming literary opinion.

Remember when he was "just" the best, sexiest neo-soul guy with the most fun songs of that nature? They're still the most fun songs of that nature! Goddammit!

Found a better pic of that Columbia hat, brim is definitely too big. Also found another Columbia hat im denim this time: if the sizes of the brim and neck protector were swapped it's be perfect.

robin @squarehead333.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, maybe it's some bespoke Frankensteined hat? Bizarre but pretty cool

robin @squarehead333.bsky.social · 1d

Found a similar hat for sale on ebay. Made by Columbia. Think the front brim is bigger than the drawing but it's pretty close

Ah, thank you! That's probably it, though it doesn't seem to be made of a weather-resistant material in López's rendition.

robin @squarehead333.bsky.social · 1d

In a way that manga did exist! López is a huge influence on Hirohiko Araki's work and he directly homaged him multiple times for JJBA

This whole series of illos is career-best work by López, btw. Cycling gloves and caps and oversized knit sweaters have never seemed cooler

I want a hat like the guy in this 1984 Antonio López illustration has but I have no clue what it's called. Some weird kind of flap cap

Most of Imiri Sakabashira's work fits in this category. Feel like Landry's Shit and Piss would qualify if it weren't so wordy. There must be some others I'm not thinking of

Imiri Sakabashira's contribution to š! 32 (I haven't actually read this specific story, just couldn't find good scans of pages from The Box Man with creatures)

Another possibility: the seller hates Irish people

robin @squarehead333.bsky.social · 6d

A lot of these sites have weird inconsistent pricing. There was a copy of Bradley of Him up for like 90 cents on a similar site a few years back. I think sellers just accidentally set the prices too low somehow but end up fixing them

robin @squarehead333.bsky.social · 6d

I swear I was looking at copies like a year ago and they were all like 15 quid. Now it's 158 quid??

Nah I haven't, but it looks decent. I've sorta been meaning to read more of his work
