Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked
By Tom Spurgeon
* a friend of mine just finished
this Atlantic piece on Jules Feiffer, tied into the autobiography.
CR ran the customary link to it at the time, but looking at it again I'm reminded the last few graphs have an update on Feiffer's future projects, including a book on Depression-era humor that sounds pretty interesting.
* not comics: I'm not sure why I got this e-mail at
CR, but
this forthcoming James Bama sketchbook looks pretty nifty.
* all congratulations in the world to Bryan Lee O'Malley,
who has apparently finished the sixth and final chapter to his Scott Pilgrim saga, one of the defining works of the early century.
* missed it: the writer Steve Niles
is touring in support of his new series with Ashley Wood,
Mystery Society.
* Mark Burrier is the latest known cartoonist to make use of Kickstarter,
for his project Rare Words.
Here's another Kickstarter project, from Tony Murphy.
* missed it:
a new Drawing Words Writing Pictures web site, I would imagine to provide more focused support for the comics textbook.
* I also forgot to mention this. Although I don't think it's as solid an indication as other people think, it seems Frank Miller
has made a bit of progress on that 300 sequel.
* budding mainstream writer super-genius JT Krul
will take a turn on the Teen Titans.
* missed it:
Perry Bible Fellowship has a relocated home a new strip up.
* there's
now a release date for writer Matt Fraction's turn on Marvel's
Thor comic. There might have been one before, too, I don't know. But there's definitely one now.
* finally, Warren Craghead has written in with an update as to his general goings-on. It's always good to hear from Craghead, whom I would follow based on the great name all by itself although he's a compelling artist for sure. Craghead has a work called
A Sort Of Autobiography out from Diffusion, where he uses a cube-making template to tell his life story in several steps. A piece of that is represented by the image below.
He's also participating in the
Disquiet site's "Sketches Of Sound" series.
