It never ceases to amaze me that I can wake up on one side of this continent and go to bed on the other. I left palmy San Diego this morning, and just got home to the moonlit Vermont woods a little while ago. But I wanted to post a few Read the rest of this entry »
Okay, it’s 2:37 in the morning, after the Eisner awards. I’m turning the blog over to Ellen Forney for her report (it’s a little fawning, but I couldn’t dissuade her):
Alison, Joan Hilty and I just had a long discussion by the Marriott pool,
geeking out about social politics and drawing and comics… and Joan and I skinnydipped
So I have one day of the San Diego Comic Con under my belt, almost. Here’s my cartoon breakfast.
That’s the animator Julia Tortolani on the left, me, Joan Hilty who works at DC Comics and also does the strip Bitter Girl, and Paige Braddock who does Jane’s World and also works for the Charles Schulz empire. Snoopy and Bugs Bunny Read the rest of this entry »
I’m getting ready to head off to the San Diego Comic Con, mother of all comic cons, god help me. Here’s a good article about it in yesterday’s SD Tribune, framing the current moment in comics as a battle of “edge vs. Read the rest of this entry »
Today I got to answer a few questions on Paper Cuts, a New York Times blog on books by Dwight Garner, the senior editor of The Book Review.
And here’s a video interview with me that just went up on PopCultureShock.com. Man, what a dork. This was at The MoCCA festival last month in New York City.
On the linguistic front, there’s been a new ruling in the “Dykes on Bikes” case that I posted about two years ago. Remember how the SF Dykes on Bikes won a battle to trademark their name with the patent office, who thought it was “offensive?” Apparently, after that, some guy decided HE was offended, and took the patent office to court. But it’s okay. Dykes won.
Oh, and thank you to the several people who’ve posted or emailed me about this cartoon about Fun Home by Paul Sizer. I met him at the American Library Association convention last month and he did this piece for the site of an online comic strip about librarians called Unshelved.
I got a cord of wood delivered tonight, and had the presence of mind to film it as it was being dumped out of the truck. Always an exciting moment. Wow. I just Read the rest of this entry »
Jeez, you guys*. I totally fucked up. I was supposed to put up the new episode yesterday, not the archive one. I don’t know what the hell I was thinking. Thanks to the people who questioned the order. Read the rest of this entry »
Sorry for my absence—I’ve been hard at work, which is an inexpressible relief after all my recent gadding about. But clearly I should disappear more often. That last thread was quite a wormhole ride, from the map of the world (now pinned down to between 1918 and 1920), to “Princess Ida,” to Read the rest of this entry »
It was twenty years ago today… and the times, they aren’t a-changin’. [As I announced in May, I’m cutting back to one new episode per month for a while, and in between I’m running strips from 1987.] Read the rest of this entry »
