Here Are A Couple Of Links That Qualify As Self-Promotion

I'm going to post about a couple of things here because on my self-enforced holiday season social media fast I can't do that nice thing of boosting via tweet and Facebook post. All apologies.

Those nice men at Deconstructing Comics talked to me about the Fantagraphics oral history here. I enjoyed the conversation, which was mid-LA trip so I probably babbled and said weird things.

Encountering the horrifying notion in a private e-mail thread that the best thing I wrote for TCJ came when I was 26 years old, I was reminded that the late Kim Thompson once told me this was his favorite thing I wrote for the publication. It was for the 25th anniversary issue. We're long past the era when people did things like make Rebecca Gilman references in comedic essays just for the fuck of it, but the hardcore Journal joke of the title still makes me laugh.
