I am currentley half way through a night shift, so a proper post will have to wait until tomorrow. But I have been sat here wondering what this strange feeling is, that kind of coffee rush feeling.
It’s called excitement. Today was exciting, there were comics that made me think that there has been a step somewhere. That somewhere is towards the right stuff. I’m looking at Solipsistic pop and a whole range of emotions are running through my body.
All I can think is that finally, finally someone has done it. They have made a comic that encompases all the elements of American and Canadian indies, like Fantagraphics, Top Shelf, Drawn And Quarterly, McSweeneys, kramers Ergot and the grandaddy, Raw.
The idea of publishing comics that don’t stick to the grid layout, and use a more ‘art’ execution has to be a positive. I’m not doing a very good job of this, I don’t have KG’s cosmic sized vocabulary.
All I can say is that you, Mr Tom Humberstone, have got the smell perfect!
Go to the website and read for yourself.
