The Comic Book Cover of the Week!
Arriety and The Littles
Haven't posted in a looong time but I figured I'd do a quick one about the obvious similarities between the latest Studio Ghibli film The Secret World of Arriety . Saw Arriety over the weekend and my family and I just loved it. It's a beautiful, beautiful film and...
Mr. Daisey goes to China…and Depresses the Hell Out of Me.
This American Life does an amazing piece focusing on performer and Mac worshipper Mike Daisey’s one man show where he goes to visit China to discover how our electronics are made. It’s stuff I already knew but it’s certainly a heartbreaking listen. Is the Chinese...
Two New Reviews for the New Year!
Well, here we go! A brand new year! I just realized that it’s been a year since I moved this blog/site over to Wordpress! A year since Blogger decided I couldn’t host my own blog so I picked up my ball and took it home. Did I do the right thing? Who knows? I am...
AICN Holiday Wishlists!
Well, the AICN comics gang have put up their holiday wish lists and there’s some really neat stuff up. You can see the picks by going here. I’d submitted my picks for the holidays as well but it looks like my submissions got lost in the ether somewhere. Oh,...
Playing a Little Catch-Up
Well, the past week and a half has seen me pretty much recovering from whatever flu/virus thingee that knocked me on my ass for almost two weeks. My fever lasted two days but all the other icky stuff just hung around for way too long. Haven’t been that sick in...
Ten Observations Made While Laid Up With A 103 Degree Fever
Having a fever of 103 for two days straight sucks. Having to watch movies on the bedroom TV (whose screen is roughly the size of a postage stamp) kinda sucks. OLIVER! Is a fantastic movie. Surprised I’d never seen it before. One of the best musicals ever. Fever or no...
Simon/Kirby Crime and Figure Drawing for All Its Worth
Been a crazy past couple of days what with the whole family getting sick and all...so I never got the chance to post that I got the chance to review two great books this past week. The first one being the terrific THE SIMON AND KIRBY LIBRARY: CRIME (the review for...
Justice League # 3 vs Legends # 6
So I was looking through the Ain’t It Cool Comics reviews today and I just happened to look over Optimus Douche’s (Hey, that’s what the dude calls himself, okay?) review of the new Justice League # 3. I really don’t agree with much of what his review says but, hey,...
A Collection of Poses and a New Podcast
Got a new review up this week for Buddy Scalera’s COMIC AND FANTASY ARTISTS'S PHOTO REFERENCE: COLOSSAL COLLECTION OF ACTION POSES. This is a great book. It’s got about a bajillion photographs of life models in poses that should be very helpful for any artist in need...
I Swallowed Another One! Review
Got a review up this week for DAMMIT! I SWALLOWED ANOTHER ONE! by Kit Lively. This is really a hilarious collection of cartoons by a cartoonist with a mind that's slightly off kilter. I enjoyed this book a lot. You can check out my review by clicking here.
