My very good friend Dan and his wife, Abbie, welcomed their first child into the world on Sunday. I don’t normally get terribly excited about babies, but over the last year, Dan has become a trusted confidante (much to his chagrin, I suppose) and one of my closest friends. I wish him and Abbie and Clare all the best.
To Clare, a passage from Kurt Vonnegut’s God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater. Vonnegut said it better than I could:
“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’ ”
Welcome to the world, Clare. We’ve been waiting such a long time to meet you.
*No, silly. Bigfoot’s not real.
*Go sign THIS PETITION.
*My song/inspiration for the WORK! anthology? “Clampdown” by the Clash, of course. They are The Only Band That Matters, after all.
The WORK! Anthology (formerly PROLETARIAT!) is coming together nicely, mostly thanks to Tim’s hard work. A number of working pros have signed on, including, mpMann, Josh Hechinger, Salgood Sam, John Bivens, Michael L. Peters, Mario Boon, Russell Lissau, Elizabeth Genco and others.
We’re currently seeking more contributions. Writers and/or artists, drop me an email if you’re interested: epalicki [at] gmail [dot] com
Also, check out Tim’s blog for more frequent updates.
For those of you who didn’t know, I was mentioned in a broad article about comic books that appeared in Sunday’s edition of the Toledo Blade Newspaper. My contribution to the discussion is small, but this website itself did get a mention.
For anyone visiting here for the first time, welcome, and I invite you to read some of my stories:
CORDUROY ROAD #1 (16 Pages, Illustrated by Dion Hamill)
TOUCH (5 Pages, Illustrated by Rich Lee)
THE UNDERTAKER’S DAUGHTER #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 (4 Pages Each, Illustrated by Wendell Cavalcanti)
NOTE: Pages may load slowly; Use the controls above and below each page to navigate to the next.
PROLETARIAT! (or, Music for the Masses) is a new project that I’m delighted to be a part of:
“The history of Folk music is also the history of the People’s struggle.”
Stop by and wish Tim (and me!) luck.
I’m currently working through four projects with four excellent collaborators. Hopefully, one or two or all of them will find their way to print.
*THE LAST HOUND OF GOD, with artist mpMann. Check out our proposal pages HERE.
*I have the art in hand for CORDUROY ROAD #1, all 16 pages’ worth. I’m currently working on lettering over Dion Hamill’s illustrations (there’s a preview page a few posts below.) Here’s an early draft of the cover:
*Wendell Cavalcanti, my Undertaker’s Daughter collaborator has shown me the first several pages of our project-for-print, BROKEN BLVD. Here are the first two pages:
*Artist Anthony Peruzzo and I are working on GALATEA, which transplants the mythical statue-brought-to-life into modern day New York. Those pages, in color, are brilliant.
More to follow.
