Assorted Doucet thoughts on the Domino blog dominobooks.org/blog.html

Is there no Jiro Taniguchi currently in print in the USA? I always feel like the current explosion of manga didnt connect with Taniguchi, like there was something too 'euro' about his work. I've always loved it tho...

cannot believe they’re doing this.

Just wrote 6,000 words on Krazy Kat by Herriman, Dirty Plotte by Doucet, Life? Or Theater? by Salomon, the narrative works of Töpffer, Passionate Journey by Masereel, Fires by Mattoti and In The Realms of The Unreal by Darger.

I think millennials have to be the most depressed generation, because gen x/boomers didn't flirt with the idea that medieval peasants were possibly more happy than them, whereas millennials know it's an insane thought but still feel compelled to ponder it.

Dick Sprang - Secrets of the Bat-cave lithograph (1995).

Dan Moynihan was a super nice guy, whip smart, and drew amazing comics. He passed away a few days ago. We are gonna miss him dearly and his family needs your help. www.gofundme.com/f/support-be...

Horrible news, Dan Moynihan’s art and cartooning——and his kindness—meant a lot to a lot of people. His family has set up this GoFundMe www.gofundme.com/f/support-be...

I love when computer animation is made to look like other traditional forms of animation. I like being tricked by companies.

I’ve written 30 letters of recommendations for students this year. Love doing it, BUT, the school I teach at is 90% adjuncts, students are forced to get professors who work multiple jobs to write these letters for them during unpaid hours. Would love 5 paid office hours a week…or, just an office!

Here are some words I wrote about Alagbe’s Misery of Love. Then, if you want to see how people outside of our small world react to books like this, read these depressing Goodreads reviews: www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...

I wrote about my 3 favorite comics of 2025 over at @comicsjournal.bsky.social www.tcj.com/the-best-com...

with the current comic im working on, which i started two years ago, i've started to break sentences characters say into 3 or 4 panels, which is making it take six month to draw one scene. very inefficient but hoping when it's done there will be a hypnotic effect when read in full...

Piranha Club by Bud Grace

so many people's view on art is 'this is how things are done correctly, this new artist is great because they are doing things the correct way', this very limited palette of what is right/wrong and imposing that view very vocally, forever repelling most artists who can actually see beyond all that.

the great J Scott Pike

well, looking like my decades long stance that Bill Clinton was one of our top most evil presidents of all time is panning out into undeniable fact.

research!

Sim & Gerhard, 1994

"Faculty and staff—who have given decades of their lives to the university—have been given less than two weeks to accept insulting “offers” and pack up as early as January 2, 2026." Please support our colleagues at @newschoolaaup.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

If the so-called leaders of the New School had actually learned from the university’s history (instead of just endlessly recounting it), they would be seeking ways to provide an institutional safe-haven for another group of political dissidents from Columbia U.

Last week, the New School issued voluntary separation & early retirement offers to 40% of the full-time faculty & the majority of non-union staff. These cuts to the bone are an ideological attempt to decimate historic spaces of critical inquiry & social justice. Share our statement tr.ee/qQBIDCpIuj

Mail call! The Comics Journal #311 which I got for the Kate Beaton overview. Beaton is such a thoughtful writer I'm looking forward to a lengthy interview with her about her works.

Fatty Arbuckle signs his $1,000 a day contract with Paramount

Mike Royer may not be the 'best' Kirby inker (i'd say Sinnott) but he is my favorite.

attention international self publishing community: for the love of God, please please please include an invoice when you send your comics to your favorite mini comic distributor ❤️

loving how people communicate these days

One of the schools I work at —-which costs as much as Harvard but has 90% of its classes (!) taught by adjuncts—-is writing letters to the small fraction of faculty who are full time, pressuring them into retirement with the threat of impending layoffs. Goal is, I guess, a faculty of 100% adjuncts.

regretting an argument from 20+ years ago where i insisted Eno mentioned ‘bilbo and frodo’ in the lyrics of Baby’s on Fire (the actual lyrics are ‘rescuers row row’)
