All (Well, Some) About Aline



Gary Esposito steps in with a first-person photo account of Wednesday's A Valentine's Evening With The Crumbs, an event at the New York Public Library in support of cartoonist Aline Kominsky-Crumb's new book.

If you're not up on Aline's work as much as you are, say, Robert Crumb's, here are a few links to get you started.

* Wikipedia entry
* Lambiek.net entry
* selection of pages at Adam Baumgold gallery
* MSNBC interview (2005)
* Nextbook podcast interview (2007)
* cover featured at Heeb
* material prepared for the NYPL event (PDF)
* Anne Ishii's report from the event
* web site supporting new book, including video blog

The appearances in support continue this week with a stop in St. Louis on Tuesday (see the preceding link for full information) and an appearance on a powerhouse panel (Katin, Bechdel, Kelso) this Friday at 6:30 at the New York Comic-Con hosted by Heidi MacDonald.

Go, Look: Kevin Nowlan Archive



I linked to a few Kevin Nowlan pieces of art earlier this week, and received several e-mails pointing to this massive archive.

First Thought Of The Day
I wonder if that actor in The Queen really looks like Tony Blair, or if as an American I'm not accustomed enough to Tony Blair that it just seems that way. If that's the case, I wonder if people in, say, France see Bruce Greenwood or Martin Sheen playing JFK and come out saying, "Wow, that guy was totally like their President Kennedy."
