The Best Comics-Related Thing I Saw This Weekend

This photo. I clicked on it because I knew that Jiraiya isn't taking photos on his publicity tour behind Massive, so I wanted to know how that was handled. But it ends up it's a very beautiful photo: the lines of Jiraiya's shoulder and the youthfulness of what you can see against Durk Dehner's later-in-life appearance, the rock solid intersection of their embrace.

It's so easy to get caught up in the daily grind of what comics can be and what their constant presence of comics in our lives might portend -- even when the issues and matters involved are important. We sometimes forget what art and making art and being able to express yourself and be affirmed in that expression can mean on a very human level. It's nice to be reminded.
