as reported on the ILX obit thread, Jack Chick apparently died yesterday.

I'm less taken aback about Jack Chick's death than I am by my sudden discovery that Jack Chick is an actual person.

For those of you not reading Strong Female Protagonist, i STRONGLY recommend it. Likely my fave webcomic.You could start at the start but if you wanna jump in when Ostertag's art hits stride, I'd recommend here: http://strongfemaleprotagonist.com/issue-5/chapter-5-cover/

Nothing new from me until the hardback collecting the 2000-2001 true swamps, for spring 2017 publishing season. Which is not new work anyway. I'm still limited to prose and music bc of my nerve injury unfort

bob dylan discussing his paintinghttp://media.vanityfair.com/photos/581a602f784cf8ac089e6930/master/w_900%2Cc_limit/bob-dylan-paints-exhibit-03.jpg
There was a conscious attempt to dismiss consumer culture or popular culture, including mass media, commercial art, celebrities, consumer or product packaging, billboard signs, comic strips, magazine advertising. “The Beaten Path” works represent a different subject matter from the everyday imagery of consumer culture. There is nothing to suggest these paintings were inspired by the writings of Sigmund Freud or that they were based on any mental images that occur in dreams, no fantasy worlds, religious mysticism or ambiguous subject matter. In every picture the viewer doesn’t have to wonder whether it’s an actual object or a delusional one. If the viewer visited where the picture actually existed, he or she would see the same thing. It is what unites us all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjPxlzjuLwwGreat looking cast; Harrelson is absolutely perfect based on the clips and I would follow Laura Dern into a forest fire.
― the notes the loon doesn't play (ulysses), Monday, 7 November 2016 15:56 (seven years ago) link
Seemed kinda off to me, honestly. But the original book didn't exactly have much of a plot, so I can see how they'd have to come up with more material for a film.
― Nhex, Monday, 7 November 2016 17:27 (seven years ago) link
the original book is garbage but I am v favorably inclined to that cast

Benjamin Bin Zhang anyone? I've heard mixed things about his writing but his art can be impressively shoegazey though I'm not completely sold on his style. I only just found out his name but I'd seen his work when his earlier books were out.

Reading through those Comics Journal magazine history pieces on the site right now. I feel quite grateful they were raking people over coals for lousy comics and practices.

Just spotted the Harvey Horrors Best Of vol1 today and bought it. It's a pretty good selection, some of Rudy Palais' best work. I'm still mulling over getting the new Ditko art book, it's really damn expensive and I've seen most of the stuff. Saw Harvey Kurtzman's Trump. Wonder if they chosen a cover character that could glacingly be mistaken for a cartoon Donald.
