thoughts, musings and other rambling…
Not long ago I received this great sketch in the mail by none other than Troy Little; creator of Chiaroscuro (now a hit graphic novel published by IDW) and co-creator of Angora Napkin (not only a graphic novel, but also a new cartoon by Teletoon). Be sure to check out his stuff over at Meanwhile [...]
Hey, this is neat: G. Edward Griffin gave SPUD & HARRY a plug in this weeks edition of Unfiltered News! To anyone from Freedom Force International that has clicked on over, I’d like to take this moment to say “hi”. -
Here is a package that came in just a couple weeks ago from Effing Magnifier Productions. Inside was CEREBUS READERS IN CRISIS #3 along with a letter from publisher Jeff Seiler, and a Center for Cartoon Studies booklet. The main story this issue is by Elizabeth Ann Bardawill and is called Crisis (On Infinite London [...]
Dave Sim has posted an incredible review of SPUD & HARRY #1 on today’s Blog and Mail. Originally I was thinking of posting it here, but it’s a big one, so instead I’ll leave you to click over to the Cerebus Yahoo! Group to read it. The previous day’s post also contains the letter which [...]
The following mail, containing perhaps the most comprehensive review yet, arrived from Switzerland from Ultraist Reader and CRIC2 Contributor Jay Traci: – Random notes from a know-nuthin’ on the comics of Mike Kitchen: Knight Hawk/Apocalypse (1993) Ah, a step back in the way-back machine. So what’s the Matt Campbell chap working on of late. I [...]
Hi Ewart. Thanks for writing. I had always wondered if those convention flyers had made any sort of impact. The fact that you are here writing almost a year later (without having yet read any of the actual comics) makes me think that the flyers have accomplished exactly what I had intended them to, namely [...]
Taking a cue from the Blog and Mail, I’ve decided to occasionally post letters as blog journal fodder. Partially this is due to SPY GUY #1 (of the unlimited series) not having a letters column slated, and partially because the online letters forum hasn’t yet been constructed, and partially because of the lack of free [...]
Long time Spy Guy fan Thai Nguyen writes: – Hey Mike. Ive re-read Spud and Harry. Its excellent. The drawings are awesome… Ive been starting to doodle more. I wanted to find out what your process of writing a story is? Do you outline the whole thing in thumbnail? do you know where you’re going [...]
While I waited for my 20 minute delayed train in Toronto Union Station, I cracked open the Aardvark Vanaheim bubble envelope to find… a letter… a 27 PAGE letter!… From none other than Dave Sim. Which is exciting enough in itself, BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE! It turns out this correspondence is going to be the [...]
Interesting story about this one… Last Friday I (sort of) quit my day job (one of them) to try and get this next comic (Spud & Harry) done in time for A.P.E. (more on that later). The drama that ensued had me miss my 6:43 train, leaving me with an extra hour to kill before [...]
