Had a great time talking to Sammy Harkham about one-pagers, graphic novels, and the comic book as a form around which to organize one's life. Among other things. Listen here!

@jessemcmanus.bsky.social had some particularly good stuff to say about drawing and terror

Didn't anyone notice that me and several others spilled our guts about being Terrified by Drawings on the recent MRC?! I'm late to re-post but a reposte in good faith is never tardy

Long form interview with me and the great Colin Blanchette about @comicsjournal.bsky.social , proud of a lot of what I said on this one, especially the false perceptions of The Comics Journal as elitist, when the reverse is the real truth.

Steinberg's 1945 book All In Line has been reissued. A strong work, but one that presents a false picture of Steinberg's art. A look at later works like The Passport provide deeper insight into Steinb...

I wrote about Saul Steinberg for @comicsjournal.bsky.social today. I’ve been writing about comics for 20+ years, this is a piece I’m very proud of. As our daily graphic life grows more narrow and cruel, Steinberg’s project seems more in peril & more important than ever.

I can't speak highly enough of @dominocomics.bsky.social's new piece on Saul Steinberg at @comicsjournal.bsky.social. This is the sort of serious, deeply engaged comics writing the medium desperately needs and deserves!

Yowza!!!

Been thinking of this Mark Beyer strip often recently.

An Amy and Jordan comic strip where a doctor tells Jordan that everyone has two glands in their body. One produces good luck, the other bad luck. Jordan's good luck gland is damaged and only the bad luck gland is working. In the last panel, Jordan says, "What a bunch of garbage! Good and band luck glands. I don't believe any of it," while skateboarding towards a speeding car that can't stop.

Here’s a joke from my book Slapstick about a guy who lost an election to a baby.

Grasser felt sorry for the baby who had taken his job. He remembered, with some embarrassment, how certain he'd been that he was going to win that last election in a landslide. It wasn't just narcissism. He had previously won it five times. Though admittedly, he'd run unopposed. Still, he'd often think that it was actually harder to run a campaign against no one. The format wasn't built for it. Many of Grasser's stump speeches ended up being about a fictional opponent, a sort of possible worse mayor, that Grasser could be running against if they existed. Often, in the middle of these speeches, he'd realize the rival he was describing was actually himself.
