Now is the time for us to gather together and celebrate those things that we like and think are fun.

They are trying to escape the comic. Do you blame them?

You know, this just made me realise... this is supposed to be an action scene. The hero got beat up and received a power up. But it doesn't feel like an action scene because mookie is unable to convey that change of pace, not without dialogue.

They sense danger, so they're making space to swell up.

Could be because the bad guy is slightly less animated than the landscape. Literally.



The bad guy is less dynamic than a character in a sprite comic. He's animated like a character from a handheld LCD game from the '80s.

I can't believe that in the year of our lord 2023 CAD is more dynamically drawn and Dominic Deegan is the copy paste extravaganza.

Also that Tim Buckley is... well he's not an activist on trans rights but even his hamfisted comic about the Harry Potter game had him agree that JKRowling is a hateful piece of poo poo.

I just realised that my computer doesn't like postimg so I had to go to the website to see the new one. I probably could have waited for someone to make an edit.

Ooh, speaking of edits, I'm not good at them, could we replace Kikero getting dusted with Dominic getting punched in the balls? An oldie, admittedly, but a goodie.

Today's blog post is about libraries.

quote:

Read Comics From Your Public Library
I’ve loved the public library in my sleepy little New England town since we moved here eight years ago. It has a huge kids’ section, of which I’ve taken advantage of since my boy was old enough to start following along with books. Now that he’s old enough to read to himself we make a regular habit of bringing a library haul home, only now I also make a point to bring books home for myself. Namely graphic novels.

Our library has a great graphic novel section for both kids and adults, though the kids’ section is bigger (which is fine by me), but I was surprised to see the depth of what was available. I was largely accustomed to seeing graphic novels at book stores and comic shops, and at the time it didn’t cross my mind to look for anything significant at my public library. Boy, was I missing out on a great resource. There are a handful of superhero trade paperbacks, sure, but the majority of the selection is the grand scope of what the genre has to offer; biographies of historical figures, award-winning stories, experimental comics, autobiographical work, you name it.

I was able to read Marjane Satrapi’s excellent Persepolis, Jim Henson’s weirdly wonderful Tale of Sand, and the haunting Once Upon a Time in France by Fabien Nury and Sylvain Vallee. There were a few others I didn’t enjoy so I won’t mention them here (I’m not in the business of negative reviews these days), but I was able to try them out and not feel like I wasted my money. Because it’s free. With every one of us being nickel-and-dimed for everything in our existence these days, it’s almost disarming to be allowed to borrow something without cost. Did I not enjoy this book? Big deal, it didn’t cost me a dime, and taking out lots of books helps the library anyway.

So get yourself a library card if you don’t already have one and go to your local library. They probably have some graphic novels you’ve never seen before, and they’re probably hidden gems. And if they’re not great or best-kept secrets, who cares? You’re using a free resource to help you discover new things and determine what you do and don’t like. The opportunity to read more comics and help an invaluable public resource show how vital it truly is? That’s a win-win in my book.

Read more comics.

I find it really funny that mookie's using libraries exclusively for comics. There's nothing wrong with it, but it is extremely mookie.

Can't stop creating characters who act like research and learning and books are the coolest thing; goes to the library to read comic books.

Again yeah there's nothing wrong with that but also lol.

I mean, when Mookie's characters aren't hitting jocks upside the head with books, they're lamenting having to read the things themselves.

Do you think this is why he wrote those library scenes a year or so ago? He just discovered libraries exist in his 40s?

Er, I mean

I was confused by the motion lines at first, I thought he was throwing something off the cliff.

Judging from the direction of the motion lines, it looks like Snout broke off the tip of the dick cliff and hurled it at Lemonman? Unless this is Snout suddenly being able to manipulate his dream and conjuring up a rock to throw, which hasn't been a thing before? As usual, the actions being shown are poorly conveyed.

And also:

Wait, that's a rock? I thought Snout took off his clothes and threw them at the guy in disgust, causing them to shatter.

Like, guy takes off his hood. Snout takes off his clothes.

I like how Mookie can make something as simple as a guy throwing a rock be completely incomprehensible.

Where did the rock come from? Nobody knows!

Why is Snout about to throw it like a frisbee and then managed to smash it directly into the ground?

I don't know.
