Comics/graphic novels aren’t recognized or taken seriously as literature in the publishing industry, despite taking twice as much work to create as prose novels, and it just breaks my heart.

That’s it, that’s the take.

Please read more comics.

If I were in New York this weekend, I’d be trying to get to the Brooklyn Library’s “Tove Jansson & The Moomins” exhibition. It looks like a considerable degree of fun.

The site's publishing schedule (twice a week - Wednesday and Sunday) has gone a bit wonky this week due to dayjob busyness. Aiming to get back to regular pacing soon.

Mini Rant:

People say "manga" when they mean Shonen Jump

People say "comics" when they mean Marvel/DC

Those publishers are not monolithic, and are in fact unique in their industries. Not every manga artist is a Shonen Jump workhorse. Not ever comic suffers from retcons and reboots.

Not even most
