Phoenix library “posters”
I’ve been back from the first of the summer trips for a few days now…digging into the to-do list in between family obligations, Dad Taxi runs, and World Cup soccer. One of the Phoenix to-dos is submitting applications for upcoming zine fests and related events. These operations often want to see samples, an easy task…
Chuck Bunker (1956-2026)
Chuck Bunker has passed away. He actually passed away on May 24, but news of his death only made it into small press comics/zine social media because of the internet sleuthing of United Fanzine Organization Chair Rob Imes. You can read Chuck’s obituary here. These passings hit hard on this end, and I hate making…
Electric Transit reviews Noble Head Funnies
Getting back from vacation, unpacking, cleaning up, opening mail…and what’s this? A review of Noble Head Funnies by Danny Ferbert over at Electric Transit (Prog: 15:06:26)? Many thanks to Danny for the mention! [UPDATE: Danny posted a slightly longer review on his website. Click here to read…] You can grab your own copy of Noble…
#NobleHeadFriday – The Kitty Fluff Blues
We’re going to have some musical fun with Noble Head Funnies today, pulling from Noble Head Funnies #2…and meet a new character! Edward Bolman does it again! (Longreach is a favorite of mine.) This story, and so much more, is in the complete Noble Head Funnies by Bolman and J.P. Noel, a wonderful Phoenix Masters…
Summer Break…?
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Summer is a bear, stuff is happening, I gotta slow down on the videos over the summer. The tension of “family v. zine guy” always is high when the kids are out of school, but it is especially high this summer. I have a rising college freshman and two highly engaged young teens.…
#HumpdayHutchinsons – My Fish Told Me of THE CRAVING
If I had to pick the quintessential Joe Hutchinson story, there are a lot of good ones. But then you would throw me up to a wall and threaten me within an inch of my life…so I’d have to pick one. Whimpering, shaking uncontrollably, I’d cry out: MY FISH TOLD ME OF THE CRAVING! (And…
#SundaySteveWillis – A couple more Steve Willis shorts!
The 27th issue of Steve Willis’ epic Cranium Frenzy series takes a rapturous dive into the surreal, but not without some fun little asides. Let’s take a look! Whether a single page of bad hair or a long-form story…it’s all great and somehow fits together! Cranium Frenzy #27 (2024) is part of The Collected Cranium…
Noble Head Funnies reviewed at Broken Frontier!
Oh my! What a terrific review and overview of Edward Bolman and J.P. Noel’s Broken Head Funnies collection at Broken Frontier. Here’s a piece, but you really should read the whole thing for yourself… Upon first glance, Edward Bolman’s Noble Head Funnies seems like a head spinning, rapid-fire amalgamation of lunatic characters in subtly humorous gag strips,…
#HumpdayHutchinsons – Tales of the Giant Octopus
Urban Myth or not, Joe Hutchinson tells quite a story in today’s #HumpdayHutchinsons entry, 1986’s Tales of the Giant Octopus minicomic! Isn’t Joe the best? On a technical note, the original minicomic had bright red stock on the outside. I scanned in greyscale, so the red translated to grey backgrounds. But black and white is…
#SundaySteveWillis – Celebrate Lefties!
Not those “lefties” that send certain folks through the roof…no, just those who walk among us with green-handled scissors! Steve Willis took the entire 26th issue of his amazing Cranium Frenzy series and devoted it to us, the 10% of society who walk among us with a permanent ink/graphite smear on the side of their…
