- BREAKING NEWS: Seminal psych-comics Brett Ewins, whose Judge Dredd storiess are like a model for how to make by-the-numbers action comics visually exciting, has been embroiled in an incident that sounds like it wouldn't be out of place in an issue of 2000AD...
- Best Eurocomics being made? It's all Ruppert and Mulot, you ask me.
- And this is a photo of Killoffer. How much more of fucking pimps are French cartoonists than American ones? It must be at least 83%.
- Shit Comics brings you the Panels of 2011. Who am I to argue?
- A jewel amidst seas of nothingness: George Elkind on Tintin.
- Oh, I'm sure you super fucking care what my favorite four records of 2011 were, right? (Cold CAVE!) Well, listen to me yakk about 'em on my new favorite podcast Them's The Vagaries here (about an hour in). I totally forgot to list that Araabmuzik album though. Also that new Prurient.
- Brandon Soderberg of Comics For Serious, perhaps the comics critic whose work I most miss seeing on a regular basis, put in some serious time on Them's The Vagaries as well, delivering a brilliant, fiery address on the state of comics circa now. Not to be missed: part one, part two. Brandon also put one of my comics on his best of 2011 list! Therefore said list is Correct.
- Nobody shit-talks Grant Morrison like Eddie Campbell shit-talks Grant Morrison.
-Speaking of whom, Frank Santoro's comics-as-criticism blog post on Campbell's How To Be An Artist book is super fantastic.
- The world's best comic shop has a tumblr.
- Better to be silly than a pansy, of course.
- Tim O'Neil nails Marvel's current publishing practices. Like, with a nail gun level of nailing it.
- Michel Fiffe is on the crowdfunding circuit for the next issue of his comic Zegas. According to prominent critic Matt Seneca, issue 1 was the shit. So give him your money.
- And as always, my art porn graphic novel AFFECTED continues apace. However, I think I'll be bringing it from its usual twice-weekly posting schedule down to once a week in order to serve up more satisfying chunks of story as the ending draws ever nearer. So look for it Mondays, and then look again on Tuesdays cause I am late sometimes. I just posted some sick fighting pages. In addition, I have a new, weird, but seemingly quite popular short comic up at my other comics website. And I have another short on my table right now (hence this link post instead of putting in the work on a real blog post), so stop by again in a couple days to see that one. UPDATE: Here it is, looking lovely if I do say so myself.

That Killoffer pic is form Rio Comicon 2010. He's wicked cool, and pretty aproachable as a human being you can get wasted with.+ He was the first person to tell me about Ruppert & Mullot, a great tip.
