Illustrator Raymond Biesinger has experienced a range of good and bad deeds from honest and not-so-trustworthy clients and non-clients. But the one act of misanthropy that bugs him the most is being ripped off.

Cannon by Lee Lai @dandq.bsky.social

Cannon will unquestionably get the "slice-of-life" label, but that undersells the actualization of the lives that Lai builds here, the kind of ear and eye for life that makes you wonder if this fiction could actually be autobiography.

It's #Caturday! Here's Physics for Cats, by @tomgauld.bsky.social. True, not every cartoon features cats, but every science-based cartoon is hilarious. Math freaks can figure out the ratio of cat to non-cat cartoons in the book.

The second book in our Shigeru Mizuki art book series is coming this November!!! "Yokai: Shigeru Mizuki's Supernatural Parade."

Originally, this was planned to be just one book. But there was so much great stuff we couldn't decided. So we made it two books. @dandq.bsky.social

I knew of Lynda Barry before I knew of these books, because she authored one of my favorite comics of all time. (This quickly became a cornerstone/"key image" of THE BODY KINETIC in brainstorming. I was delighted to have a 'home' for it--I've been carrying it around in my brain for years, waiting.)

Panel 1: An adult anthropomorphic doglike creature and a much smaller, blobbier creature both stare at the "Madonna and Child." The adult says, "I'm not sure how to look at art." The child(?) says, "what's sposta happen?"

Panel 2: the adult holds their hands apart. "Something big. A revelation. Suddenly you just understand."

Panel 3: Adult looks back at the painting. "Not sure how to make it happen."
Child(?) says "How bout lift me up so I can see better?"

Panel 4 has no words, just the adult and child looking at the painting together, mirroring the pose of the Madonna and Child itself.

I LOVE ANYTHING BY MICHEL DEFORGE HES SO GOOD. "sticks angelica" is good, "big kids" is one of my favorite comics ever
i feel the same about lynda barry, esp her autobio works. "one! hundred! demons!" is great, but "what it is" is also up there for favorite works of all time

Always respect the classics.

4 panels from super mutant magic academy:

Guy flips through a comic: Joanie. You actually LIKE these? These comics are totally sexist, not to mention a tacit endorsement of violence!

Guy hands Joanie a hardback: What you need to be reading is GRAPHIC NOVELS. Here, I just picked this up from the library.

Joanie flips through: What's it about?

Guy responds: An aging typewriter store owner becomes obsessed with Death and a girl he saw on the subway when he was eighteen.

Joanie: That's it?

Guy: He also secretly ejaculates into fruit at the 24-hour deli--

Joanie: Ah. Yes.

Cannon by Lee Lai review – a graphic novel of emotional awakening laced with horror and humour

The author of Stone Fruit returns with the story of a young queer Chinese woman struggling to express her emotions and be heard * Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email In the opening scenes of Cannon, Quebec-based Australian cartoonist Lee Lai’s second graphic novel, a flock of magpies sits in a dark, empty restaurant. Tables and chairs are toppled – condiments, cutlery and smashed plates litter the floor. A solitary figure sits among it all, huffing and puffing, unbelieving of what she’s done. It’s a striking way to begin a story, and a hell of an introduction to a character who’s usually not much like this at all. The titular Cannon (Lucy to her family) is a queer Chinese woman on the “uncool side of [her] twenties” living in Montreal in 2017. The narrative winds back to a few months earlier, then Cannon’s adolescence, to reveal what led her to this breaking point. Continue reading...

59. Muybridge by Guy Delisle. I loved this graphic biography of the man who first captured studies of motion on camera. Delisle’s clever use of actual Muybridge photos juxtaposed with his cartoon reimaginings is very effective.

The cover of MUYBRIDGE is bright yellow and shows a cartoon Muybridge taking a photo at the precipice of a cliff.
