Coffee

Multiple people sent me this 2016 Seth Fleishman cartoon after The New Yorker re-posted it to Instagram recently. I’m not exactly sure what they were trying to tell me…

Adrian Tomine’s “Fall Sweep”

I was raking leaves in Toronto last night where it also feels like a lot of folks have discarded masks, so Adrian Tomine‘s latest cover for The New Yorker resonated with me.

The copy of The Loneliness of a Long-Distance Cartoonist propped up against the railing is also a nice touch.

Love and Rockets: The Story Behind the Great American Comic

A documentary on the Hernandez Brother’s groundbreaking alternative comic Love & Rockets will launch the new season of KCET’s art and culture series Artbound, streaming on the PBS app October 5, 2022.

Love & Rockets turns 40 this year, and if you have $400 USD burning a hole in your pocket, Fantagraphics are collecting together bound facsimiles of the original fifty issues in a special eight-volume boxed set. (Although I would settle for a slightly more affordable Love and Rockets #24 t-shirt myself!)

The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess

Tom Gauld’s first picture book for children, The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess, is out this month! According to the publisher blurb, the book is inspired by a bedtime story he made up for his daughters:

“I was trying to make a book inspired by three different sets of books: The books that I remember enjoying as a child, the books that I watched my daughters enjoying, and the books I enjoy now as an adult. I wanted the book to have its own quirky feeling but also to function like a classic bedtime story.”

It looks wonderful.

Bedtime Reading Routine

This is a tragically accurate portrayal of how it has been going during the pandemic.

(Tom Gauld for The Guardian of course)
