This week I learned how to make a shooter sandwich. Whitney Houston died. People reblogged Sam Moss, The grammy's aired, and I tried Chocovine for the first time.

Scott McCloud pointed me to these animated comic book covers on Kerry Callen's Blog. This game development documentary is just one of the amazing things happening at Double Fine Studios.

Robin McConnell wrote about a fundraiser to support Gary Friedrich and help pay the legal fees he is facing at the hands of Marvel.

Did I mention it will be valentine's day Tuesday? See Becky Cloonan's 1989. Also see Oglaf's hilarious Obligation Day (nsfw). Okay, also Nedroid I Valentried.



I don't know how I missed the fact that James Turner and Mameshiba shared the same universe. For no other reason scanwiches.

Its easy to become enamored with Becky Cloonan. She is the dreamiest: Myspace, Twitter, Blogger, Deviantart.

On a whim I started reading Tin Tin: The Seven Crystal Balls. It is easily inspiring in its fluidity, attention to detail, and masterful use of gesture. Hergé is the man.

Well, then, the other night as I was reading through the list of Eisner winners I stumbled upon Cameron Stewart's Sin Título, which I had put off reading for some time. It turns out it's very suspenseful, full of detail, and graceful gesture. And then I got to this page and the comment about the Inca piqued my interest. I google Inca from the Seven crystal balls, half expecting something about some lame Indiana Jones movie when: oh crap! That is spooky!

While we're still near the topic of the Eisner awards I delightfully encountered the work of Marian Churchland who seems poised to take over the comic scene. Well done Marian, I am overjoyed to become acquainted with your work.

Despite missing Comic-Con for another year in the last 3 years straight I've had a very comicky weekend. I read Paul Pope's 100% in one sitting. It is one of the best, most fluid and interesting things I have read. His notes at the end are very enlightening about comics as an idiom. You should pick it up.

I picked that up along with Katsuhiro Otomo's Memories this weekend at the library. Do you use your library much? You should. Stop wasting your money and support free information. Also get yerself some book smarts to go with your street smarts and cyber smarts. It's good to have 'em y'know.
