I should read more of his interviews, but my interpretation was that he was very passionate about the form but disappointed in the direction it was going. More than a bit curmudgeonly. Sort of the Alan Moore of his time (I'm aware there's some overlap there)

Also! Highly debatable that they've been better and, if so, whether that has anything to do with Salah's omission. Does Salah not contributing defensively (a tactical decision Slot made!) have anything to do with their numerous issues? Why then is Konaté still playing? Macallister? Gakpo?

Unfortunately, we live in a world where what pundits say matters. Where have you been? Less than two years ago at the Euros Southgate's team selections in huge games were clearly heavily influenced by punditry. It's not Salah being bigger than the club it's about Salah being bigger than Slot, he is

Also, I think bold text gives a completely different flavour of emphasis compared to italics. Italics are less legible at comic book scale which is probably why they haven't traditionally been used. In Face, Milligan uses italics & bold but the italicised text is also bold.

Of course, unlike Kael, you make work in the medium you write criticism of, but still:

It was in Manga Classroom, which might've been translated? I first encountered it in this great Ryan Holmberg essay on Yūichi Yokoyama.

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.

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

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
