Oooh! By Chance or Providence would be a great thing to pick up at my LCS this weekend; I'll save Shade maybe for next weekend. Cloonan's one of those people I admire immensely but for some reason her monochrome work leaves me cold; the heavy lines and shadows work better for me in color (especially in her work on Sout…

Oh yeah, it can certainly be culturally valuable, it just wasn't what I was looking for at the time.

I know, but we get a lot out of it and it's directly related to the post content.

Interesting; I've been consistently unimpressed with every New Belgium beer I've tried but have plans to get well acquainted with New Glarus later this month, as I'll be visiting my mom in small-town Wisconsin and expect I'll need beer throughout (visited their site a couple of days ago and found a number of likely…

Thanks! And sympathies. I don't think "everything happens for a reason" or that "there's someone for everyone," but by the same token every setback doesn't have to be the end of the world (something I would have done well to remember, even given that they seemed to be mounting up, this weekend). It reminded me of…

You came to the right place; I (and a great many others here) despise Ready Player One.

They're American masters; I've been doing comics after a fashion now for almost two years and they're probably (and rightly) my greatest single influence. Really looking forward to this, especially after the older Maggie stories.

It's been flitting back and forth across my mind for the last couple of years, and I was legit alarmed this weekend at how low my mood sunk, so that's definitely something I'm going to start investigating a little more seriously.

Brian Wood's late aughties comic series DMZ had a similarly vague premise; the story was compelling in itself but that sort of thing gets annoying.

The house next door has been adding on a couple of units for the last month or so (gotta pack in those students who can't afford luxury housing!) and it can get pretty annoying; sounds like you won a victory. :)

Dvorak, Cello Concerto (on CBC 2; not sure who's playing).

Borderline convinced that Trump finally discovered the Mooch wasn't actually Richard Grieco in If Looks Could Kill (hence his dismissal). Kinda disgraceful how that degenerate little saga lifted my spirits, because this weekend threatened to circle the toilet in a big way. My sickness dragged on throughout, costing…

I had a lovely lunch with an old friend yesterday and we went to Michaels' afterward. I'd never been and was gobsmacked to see all the art supplies I use already (archival ink pens, sketchbooks, etc.) readily available and probably cheaper than Amazon once you take discounts into consideration. The cheap little…

Automatic SFA upvote; they're my favorite band ever.

New Bitch Planet triple feature. The main story's great and all, but these one-off collections are really packing a punch (Kelly Sue DeConnick breaks down some of the satirical aims in the afterword) and it looks like we're getting another next month. About to read new Saga, Conan the Slayer, and the Amelia Earhart…

Give her our congratulations and wish her our best!

Celebrated escape from my downward spiral Monday with a mountain of California rolls.

New Fairy Locks ( http://fairylocksblog.wordp…
) after a number of illness- and (possibly) depression-related delays. Also done a lot of random drawing and finished a submission for a zine my LCS is planning to put together.
