For no other reason than this being a lazy Sunday morning, let me share this very crappy pic of a page in my #sketchbook that I just found perusing my phone. The ships in it have been shamelessly copied from @yokubarimodeler's amazing twitter TL. #klaussketches

Can't wait for the biopic starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
How an editor’s agitation for the cause of American literature helped vault what was once seen as a minor, regional tradition into a world-historical one. https://www.newyorker.com/books/under-review/the-man-who-helped-make-the-american-literary-canon

This just in: Frank Quitely drew Batman and Deadpool in the Two Cowboys Jim French/Vivienne Westwood pose. This is very critical information for a very small amount of people, but in case you, like me, are one of them
