In the beginning, there was the Word.
He has this look on his face like “Ha! I’ve been drinking water, but you racist cops will soon be gulping down your own shame, a shame reflected in the eyes of your children and their children for the rest of your life! P.S. I’m going to be a Congressman for most of the people in Atlanta! And I’m going to be in graphic novels!”
We need more of this kind of journalism! Artists, keep drawing it like you see it.
Does no one remember their James Bond history? Super villains love using dentistry for evil!
It’s been too long, fellow literati. Tomorrow is the first A Rrose in a Prose we’ve seen in a dog’s age, and it’s happening at Stories Books in Echo Park at 2 p.m. The theme is “Not Starting Over,” because baby, we’re already pretty good as-is. Except when we’re not. We have some of the […]
After taking a hiatus in February due to Zine Fest and utter exhaustion, we’re back with a vengeance for March.
Haven’t posted on this thing in a while… I’ve been too busy at my day-job, where I clean and gut chickens for a living. Just kidding! It’s not much of a living. Anyway, I found this website today from a link on Crooks and Liars. All I can say is, wow. Great idea, beautifully implemented. […]

Marjane Satrapi was on Colbert last night. It reminded me that I really need to see the movie adaptation of Persepolis. The comics were amazing, and the clip of the movie they showed on Colbert was a scene of middle school girls breaking the law by bringing Bee Gees and ABBA singles to school to show off […]
After seeing the trailer for the upcoming movie version of Persepolis over the holidays, I knew I had to read these graphic novels quickly, before the movie came out and could affect the voices of the characters in my mind as I read it. Using my newly renewed library card, I checked out both volumes […]
I couldn’t sleep last night (I was stressing about deadlines at work, and I couldn’t stop thinking about poor Stubby), so I got up and read the graphic novel I’m giving my niece for Christmas.
