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. This is one of the ways a forum beats Insta: that you link to the work so it can be checked out with ease… Thanks! Blind Alley looks really charming.

Emotional Data by Abby Jame - I'm really digging her unique comic style/voice

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
Hey! I just read Antkind for the second time and I feel the same way. I hope it'll have impact eventually, but seems like people don't always value "funny books" and probably especially when written by someone outside bookworld. Either way it's such a treat, twice in lockdown now it's been my brick-sized friend that makes me Laugh Out Loud and fully engages me. Second time it was even breezier, which is crazy for a 700 page book. How was third time?? You figure out the time-rabies? Haha

He did a lot of zoom press for both the book and i'm thinking of ending things last year on youtube. Some of his interviewers are great and some are atrocious but all of it is worth a watch if you're big on the book. Lol yeah i've watched most of those. There's a really sweet one with Richard Linklater complimenting I'm Thinking of Ending Things. Also agree about the time rabies thing, i was mostly joking about "figuring it out", but I did notice so many of the "mistakes" travelling backwards on second reading. I actually read from the back and from the front and met myself in the middle... which is a total Rosenberg move. Fully agree about the man unable to sleep through the night and made me wonder if Kaufman ever read Ganges!

Death Warmed Over by Krystine Kryttre. I can always count on Domino Books to introduce me to artists I should have known about years ago. I also read Lovers Only 2 mostly just for the Mickey Z story. I can't get enough of her work.

I don't have that comic but I've read her work in raw and wimmen's comix. its amazing, such a different style from anything else I've seen for my part I'm reading Diary Of A Teenage Girl. pretty intense. I haven't read like.. a novel-novel in so long its weird getting back to it

im gonna give pits of hell another read tonight i think. i was craving another go with it over the weekend but didnt find the time love this one! my “to read stack” grows with each passing day, so my plan is to get through some of those before buying anything else *fingers crossed*. looking at it now, if i had to pick three to read i’d go with glaeolia 2, lagon revue torrent, and issue 2 of monsoon. looks like i know how i’ll be spending my afternoon

Breakdown press put out so much brilliant stuff and I think Pits of Hell might be my favourite. Beautiful book, they really let the artwork smack you in the face and the interview stuff at the back strengthens this.

reading Case of the Missing Men by Bertin / Forbes, got it from the library after remembering my interest in it from when it came out years ago. Read about half on the train, it’s great
