Gradually making #progress on a new comic about football and jingoism. I’m thinking this is going to be kind of a spiritual successor to The Underdog Myth.

Popping my head up above water for a mini-update on the “Rules…” book. I’m in the home stretch, all interior comics are finished, and all I’ve got to wrap up are the final covers and the fancy french flaps, and hopefully that’s it. I am very excited about this book, I feel very proud of it. But, I’m also looking forward to the book production aspect of it getting “off my plate” as I want to get back to the drawing board making new work.

NEW TCJ TALKIES: Isaac Cates on Asterios Polyp by David Mazzucchelli

Cartoonist and publisher Isaac Cates gets comfy in the Talkie Hutt for a chat about David Mazzucchelli’s prestige Pantheon graphic novel, which it feels like nobody ever talks about.

As I mention in the intro, this book has apparently sold over 40,000 copies, so that shows that getting talked about on the twitter or not doesn’t necessarily correlate to whether book sales are good.

Everybody: check out Isaac’s Kickstarter campaign to reprint issue one of his all-ages Cartozia Tales anthology. There are a lot of great cartoonists involved in this project. Issue one features some excellent comics by Dylan Horrocks and Jon Lewis, well worth the price of admission. There are only five days left in the campaign, and a little over $1000 left to go, so definitely go and help them out.
