This is a quote from Elijah Brubaker which he posted on the Comics Journal message board (in a thread about how much fun it is to make comics), and I feel it hits the nail right into the lid.

"... when a day goes by that I've not drawn comics I feel as though the fabric of the universe is being ripped asunder and that a horde of large locust-like creatures are about to spill out and feast on my decaying corpse... if that isn't fun I don't know what is."

Just for a laugh, here's a picture of me from 1989 or so, taken by Cornelius Stone...

Stylish little Saul Bass site.

Ha! I now usurp your power, King Blog I, and declare myself King Blog the Second! All Hail King Blog II!

Got some time on your hands? Bored? Then why not sign up for GameNeverEnding? It's absolutely superb, and something I'm probably going to regret ever signing up for...

Hellooooo...?

Hellooooo... ?

Hey, I've got the whole place to myself...

Just edited Yves post to add a hyperlink. Don't know why I'm posting this....

Your man from Framz (who could sleep on the edge ae a razor, as they say in Glasgow) is happy to indulge yet again in some outrageous self-promoting propaganda on :

Talking of childhood memories of The Observer, John Glashan was doing his "Genius" strip around the same time, I think.

2002-08-22T02:52:00.000-07:00

Anyone else remember Tim Hunkin's "Rudiments of Wisdom" from the pages of The Observer magazine back in, ooh, the late '70s/early '80s?

2002-08-20T06:32:00.000-07:00

Camembert? I told you I wanted Brie! And a good runny one too!

2002-08-05T07:44:00.000-07:00

Your man in Framz says:
Les Humanoides Associés have relaunched Métal Hurlant - US comics format, mix of American and French stories. Any good? Well, I'm not sure at this point - time will tell.
PS: Brad!, your agent fee is in the post (payment in camembert, as promised, hope there won't be any strike with evrything turning private in the UK). Cheers.

Coutesy of Metafilter, here's the latest meme. All I can say is "Pie Gooood!"

2002-07-24T03:05:00.000-07:00

This is really quite frightening.

2002-07-19T16:02:00.000-07:00

Hey! Check this out! Look who's a soon-to-be-mega-famous BD auteur! And he's a new father of twins! Whatta guy! Now if only he'd post on here like he ought...

2002-07-19T15:47:00.000-07:00

I've tweaked the template again. Does this look OK?

Answering myself, I say yes! That's what I wanted, better separation of individual posts.

2002-07-15T08:29:00.000-07:00

Holy crap! I think we need an au pair pretty damn soon. Now if only I can convince Liz, my wife…

Only joking Liz…

Thanks to Ben Hammersley for pointing out this link…

Dirk Deppey from The Comics Journal emailed me to remind all you good people out there that the latest installment of the Comics Journal Audio Archive has been posted. If you haven't been checking these out, then where have you been? Dirk's been doing a great job in transferring classic interviews and panels to MP3 and then letting us all hear them via the Journal's website. This month it's the turn of the classic encounter between Gary Groth and Todd McFarlane, and it's great. I particularly like the way that Gary's frustration with the dumb-but-not-that-dumb McFarlane comes across in a way it never could in print. It's the funniest thing you'll hear this month.

Just heard that Ward Kimball, one of the remaining 'nine old men' of the classic Disney animation team, has just died. Sigh. Another great cartoonist gone...

2002-07-07T04:46:00.000-07:00

Nope, look good on Mac too. Which is great news for me. Now, has anybody out there got a linux box they can check the page with?

2002-07-07T04:35:00.000-07:00

Nope, looks good in Opera. Now to check Mac versions...

2002-07-07T04:23:00.000-07:00

Right. That should have fixed it. Now to look at it in Opera :-(

2002-07-07T03:44:00.000-07:00

Oh crap. I've just looked at this page in mozilla. It mostly works, but the header section is ucked fup. Arrrggghhh. Back to TopStyle...

2002-07-06T06:32:00.000-07:00

Oh, and a belated thanks to Robt. Crumb for the lovely logo above. Even if he knows nothing about it (please don't sue!) - look for a different one in a week or so...

2002-07-06T06:30:00.000-07:00

OK. This should be alright now. So, let's have a link. You'll need a PC (or preferably, a mac running Virtual PC) to look at this, but it's a fine little novelty and the best use of Microsoft's agent technology I've ever come across. It's certainly better than that bloody annoying paperclip.

2002-07-06T06:08:00.000-07:00

Aieeee! The templates got muddled! Is this working?

2002-07-06T06:05:00.000-07:00

Hopefully Blogger's working again now, and the new template should be in place, as well as the nifty commenting system. All we need to do now is set up auto-pinging of weblogs.com and we're all set!

2002-07-05T15:47:00.000-07:00

OK. I've just uploaded the new design. Whaddya think?

2002-07-03T02:29:00.000-07:00

Just found this old bookmark that I'd forgotten about: Sheldon Mayer's "Scribbly" , No. 1...

2002-06-24T04:25:00.000-07:00

Why not stop by at the Mr. T Name Generator? You know you want to.

Aquaman's Lament...

2002-06-19T15:04:00.000-07:00

OK, people have started posting before I've sorted out the design of the page. Bugger. I'd better get my finger out. Obligatory link: The old favourite.

2002-06-18T10:54:00.000-07:00

A review of some little known book called White Death has appeared over on artbomb.net.

2002-06-12T07:51:00.000-07:00

Hello.

Here's an interview with Mike Mignola which, though recent(ish), makes no mention of The Amazing Screw On Head. Odd.
