I've been reading vol 2 of The Drifting Classroom. I sped through the first volume, but this one's been rough because it's mostly about a bunch of kids getting infected with the plague. Hitting a little too close to home. I keep trying to read it during lunch and have to stop. I'm really eager to see how the whole story wraps up though. I ADORE Drifting Classroom. Once you finish the series, I highly recommend checking out the film adaptation. It's directed by the guy who directed Hausu and is totally wild AND it's even on youtube right now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_NfIL_JTJII'm a big fan of Hausu so I've been looking forward to checking this out! I heard the setting was changed to an international school in Japan. I went to one of those in middle school so I'm also interested in that aspect. Obayashi is such a fascinating director so I figure it should be interesting at least!

Just finished Asterios Polyp. Mind is buzzin with thoughts. Great use of The Spread as a unit. Perfectly balanced pages. Incredible cartooning, coloring, lettering… from start to finish Mazzucchelli just doesn’t stop nailing it.
Basically ‘Understanding Comics’ but directed by Charlie Kaufman.

No. 5 by Taiyo Matsumoto rips
contemporary drawing artbook Vitamin D3 is incredible/inspiring
not comics but Impossible Owls by Brian Phillips is a great collection of essays, the kind of writing that makes me want to be more observant, granular, careful. great stuff.

I've been getting into HATE alot recently. It's viciously funny, great dialogue. Fantastic cartooning. 10 issues in and it feels like it hasn't aged. Feels like Eltingville Club with 25 year olds.

Yours by Margot Ferrick , reread last night for probably the fifth or sixth time. I come back to it a lot when I need to remind myself what I'm doing/why I want to create things. I have a PDF of Dognurse that I have read twice now as well but it hurts to not have it physically so I try not to look at it too often Non comics, I finished Cassavetes on Cassavetes yesterday after reading it uberslow for a few months. The most useful and affirming book related to film I have ever read by a lightyear. Started my third go of Charlie Kaufman's Antkind; Difficult for me to talk about it without just spilling into hyperbolic exclamations, but it means a lot to me and I continue to wince at its overall non-impact since its release Just started John Lurie's History of Bones. An easy breezy read, and just purely pleasurable and wise exactly the way one would expect it to be. I highly recommend Ray Carney's "The Films of John Cassavetes" as well! I'm not big on movie criticism but those pieces are tremendous studies of the films and just super observant about humanity in general.

I got a copy of Richard Sala’s Mad Night earlier in the week and read it in one sitting but now I’m doing a reread at a much slower pace to really take everything in. I really like how Sala indulges his influences, you get a sense he was having a lot of fun drawing each panel.
I also grabbed some zines and comics yesterday from Push/Pull (Seattle comic shop) that I’ve been working through today. One was Andros 7 from Max Clotfelter and though I’ve seen most of this stuff in Rooftop Stew, it’s cool to have it in this format. Really dig Clotfelter’s oozy + grimy style and his hatching skills are amazing! Another book I grabbed at P/P was Caroline Cash’s Girl in the World, which I’m about halfway through. Really impressed by how each page is just loaded with detail and so much going on. And the colors are great too!

Just finished Trots and Bonnie yesterday (it’s great), today I’m “reading” (taking pictures of pages and machine translating random passages) from a crazy 70s men’s comics mangaka named Ichiro Iijima. I buy a lot of Japanese books and do stuff like that and post about em on Insta to pad my enjoyment and interaction considering I can’t, yknow, read them. i currently have trots and bonnie stashed away at work and have been reading it during my lunch break for the last week or two!

Adam de Souza's weekly-ish strip Blind Alley has become a favorite of mine over the past few months! It hits on that nostalgic Peanuts memory while keeping the characters realistically kid-like in their dialogue, I love it.

The recent blind alley strip where the kid accidentally annihilates a bird made me actually LOL, I was happy when you shared that the other week.

I picked up Joseph Remnant’s Cartoon Clouds from my LCS last week. I’ve heard/seen several artists i like sing that books praises so i thought i’d give it a shot. I’ll probably start that tonight. Also i’ve been, very slowly, reading Claremont’s X-Men run. I’m up to #111 as of this week. It’s fun and the art is very nice to look at lol
