Chester Brown

I’d prefer it if that work wasn’t reprinted.

Creating those Yummy-Fur/Underwater adaptations was part of my process of learning about the gospels and coming to understand them on a deeper level. (Suat would probably disagree that my understanding is deeper.) While I had some knowledge of the gospels when I began adapting them, that knowledge was pretty shallow. I feel that I’d do a much better job now. Also, the artwork in most of my version of Mark is poor. I did a better job in drawing Matthew.

when the retrospective thoughts of artists, especially in light of their evolving work, deprive us of their older work :(

let's cut a deal, Chester, I'll buy your new shit if you reprint some of the old ones

i rewatched SHORTBUS recently and wikipedia'ed it ~~ sook-yon lee is the main character (repressed sex therapist) and that was a mind blower!!

I only found out about this myself recently (altho I recall being aware of Shortbus when it came out), was totally surprised. is that film actually worth seeing?

yeah. it's not very good, though.

this new one is good and a fast read (probs wouldve been better as a mini comic tbh) and the notes get sleep-inducing. also no matter how deep into the theory he tries to go, there is no way to not see this as a dude trying to justify his love of hookers by way of his love of god.

is he no longer in love with just the one hooker

haha oh shit... also the drawing in the new one is beautiful (of course)

if chester brown's work didn't exist, we would need a morally conflicted sex robot to invent it
