Jake Grubman, proprietor of the excellent online shop All the Old Poisons, and I started a podcast. It’s called Off Register. The first episode is an interview with Madeleine Jubilee Saito, because of course when you start a podcast you begin by interviewing a friend. Get your feet wet. Ease in slowly. This episode is […]

A tongue-in-cheek title for a serious idea: that by thinking carefully about comics through the lens of repetition we can get to some interesting places. The following are some initial notes that I hope to further develop in the future. REPETITION IN COMICS, GENERALLY Since storytelling comes out of an oral tradition, repetition is embedded […]

I’m happy–and relieved!–to have finished translating another part of this long Fabrice Neaud interview. There’s a strong focus here on Neaud’s feelings around depictions of other people in his work, an issue that attracted significant criticism following the publication of Journal 3 and which even has legal implications. These thorny issues led, for example, to […]

Hi. I’ve spent nearly a year revising Ghosts, a story that originally appeared in Yearly 2018 and 2019, into a single, cohesive work. After some consideration I’ve decided to serialize this new version of Ghosts online. You can read the first chapter now, and I’ll post the remaining six chapters on a biweekly schedule. You […]

I published two books earlier this year through IngramSpark, a print-on-demand service associated with the book distributor Ingram, and I’m now getting ready to publish a third one.

After a few years of maintaining a regular schedule, I have more recently been negligent about posting here. I’ve been a bit more active on Instagram, because I can mindlessly share a page of whatever I’m working on – and I have been working a lot! So I’m posting now because I have some new […]

I was taken, from the first time I saw it, with the small list of “Good Cartoonists Gone” that appears in Sammy Harkham’s Crickets #3. A discussion on Comics Comics soon after that issue’s publication provides an even longer list of cartoonists who have moved on to other pursuits, or in rare cases vanished entirely. […]

Thanks to everyone who has ordered Yearly 2020 in the past several weeks. I’m looking forward to hearing what people think about it. I spent several days in early August having conversations on Instagram Live with three of my favorite cartoonists: Madeleine Jubilee Saito, Kimball Anderson, and Warren Craghead. You can’t watch them any more, […]
