RECENT
-I bought David Simon’s Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets today. Figure it’s the best thing to do about my upcoming NO-MORE-WIRE-EVER depression next week. Because it’s coming, it’s not like Futurama or Deadwood where there’s some lasting hope. And maybe a movie a few years down the line. This is it. There’s an hour and a half left of the greatest tv show that ever existed.
-I was looking at Automatic Kafka again today, and that may have reached “favorite comic of all time” status (along with Akira and Miller’s Daredevil and The Invisibles). Definitely my favorite comic of this decade. Helen of Troy and Galaxian? I’d kill to think up characters that good. Conceptually and visually.

FD UPDATE
-Eight pages into the new one. It’s part one of a two-part big reveal I’ve been holding back since the start.
Part two is going to be called “The Promise of Monsters”. After a Donna Haraway paper I dug up doing research. It’s quieter than the usual FD fare. Much creepier.
Does anyone remember David Cronenberg in Nightbreed?
Yeah.

-”Pretty Women Aren’t Funny” theory bashed to pieces at The Sound of Young America. This logic should be applied to everything. I’m talking to you, dumbfuck comics audience. I’m getting real sick of that shit.
-Speaking of which.

-Awesome style here.
