Wednesday Morning
Last night was very strange. I slept much, much better than usual, woke up before three AM to get some work done and couldn't fall back to sleep, which is usually no problem. So I'm wide awake while everyone else in the house -- even the cat, who is in heat, for pete's sake -- is blissfully snoozing away.
One of the things I worked on was a minor overhaul of The Bluesman Project website. I hope you'll head over there and check out the news on the new publisher of one of the best comics currently being published, by two people I respect and adore, Rob Vollmar and Pablo G. Callejo.
Great graphic novels recently read: Black Hole (Charles Burns, published by Pantheon); The Push Man and Other Stories (Yoshihiro Tatsumi, edited and designed by Adrian Tomine, published by Drawn and Quarterly); The Freebooters (Barry Windsor-Smith, Fantagraphics); The Complete Peanuts 1957-1958 (Charles Schulz, designed by Seth, published by Fantagraphics); this fourth volume of The Complete Peanuts is noteworthy for really being the first to feel like "the REAL Peanuts" in every strip, just classic, wonderful, moving stuff. My God, I don't think there's been a better time to be reading comics in my lifetime than right now.
I have become woefully inadequate in tooting my own horn these days, but who has the time? It does occur to me, though, that you might enjoy my interview with cartoonist Richard Sala over at Comic Book Galaxy. Thanks to Eric Reynolds for helping make it happen, Richard Sala for answering the questions, and Chris Hunter for making the page look pretty.
Oh, and don't worry, we're getting the cat fixed November 15th.
