Newish Comix
So I haven't been keeping up with things recently, and hopefully you haven't either or this post does no one any good.
PICK UP THESE COMICS, or books:
Alright, so the last actual comic that Jim Woodring released, The Lute String, is pretty cool. Pupshaw and Pushpaw get sucked out of the Unifactor and into another world that's real crazy and terrifying (nothing new there) by this Krishna-esque character (Little Skook) but they also somehow manage to get into our dimension, and they they terrify some children. I think I picked this up at Bizarro, but you can find it online. -Japanese release only- Press Pop also just released "Frank: Color Stories," which is, from what I can tell, Vol. 1 of the Frank collection entirely in color? And Seeing Things finally came out in paperback.
Also, I was trying to find a video of some Jim Woodring animation for you, but couldn't. This is the first in a DVD compilation of Frank inspired Japanese animations (the only one I really like on the whole DVD).
There is a new trade of Angry Youth coming out in September. It just collects the last 5 issues (6-10). Angry Youth 2/11 is out. Johnny Ryan also just printed the second self-published Klassic Komix Klub a few months ago; it's pretty funny. -Available at johnnyr.com-
There was a new book illustrated by Jules Feiffer that came out at the end of last year, The Long Chalkboard. It's cute enough, but I'd buy it used online for a couple of bucks if you have to get it. Fantagraphics is currently getting together a ton of Feiffer's work and republishing that, which is more exciting.
Speaking of reprints, Fantagraphics is also reprinting Walt Kelly's Our Gang. I think they're up to a second trade collection.
AND
New Tales of Old Palomar 2 is out. Human Diastrophism (2nd volume of Palomar) is out now, too.
Vol. 8 of The Complete Peanuts is out in October.
And a new volume of Krazy & Ignatz is out, "A Brick Stuffed with Moombins."
I was on Press Pop's site the other day and I saw some new Chris Ware thing. Not to pooh-pooh, but it better not be anything like the last couple of releases from him. I don't know where this accumulation of pretension is going to lead, but it can't be anywhere I want to go. Someone who can read Japanese should investigate and get back to me; just curious.
And finally, some funny hands:
