Friday Odds and Ends
Al Davison is making a Graphic Novel. Let’s help him do it, shall we? Al is an extraordinary artist, with an extraordinary story to tell, and I look forward to whatever he has in store.
Also asking for a helping hand this week is the very promising documentary Stripped by Dave Kellett and Fred Schroeder. It’s a great cause (and I’m delighted that a goofy quote of mine got to be the punchline for the excellent trailer), but after such an explosive start to their fundraising campaign, I can’t imagine they won’t make their goal. So if you can only give to one (if either—I know times are tough), please consider Al this round.
Also this week, Faith Erin Hicks has begun online serialization of her new graphic novel Friends with Boys. Look great so far. Check it out.
Meanwhile, Darryl Cunningham is going after Chiropractic Therapy. Can’t miss that.
Finally, want to be a Google Doodler? Our old pal Tom Galloway reports that they’re hiring.
[Link corrected! Earlier link was to a “Doodle engineer” which is a little different.]
Off to NYC this weekend. I’m actually flying a bit early to, um, be in New York City in time for Hurricane Irene(?). Okay, not really. Just so that the hurricane doesn’t screw up my travel plans for my talk at NYU this Tuesday (not open to the public, sorry; just for freshmen in the Liberal Studies and Global Liberal Studies departments).
Have a great weekend.
Hello Scott. The Darryl Cunningham link is missing a referral URL in your code.
Got it! Thanks, O.J. ^^
Thanks Scott.
Thanks for tirelessly boxing with society’s shadows! Glad you’re out there. ^^
Scott! Thanks so much for being a part of and supporting our doc! We really appreciate it and hope to make something great for anybody who loves comics!
I may be crazy, but my first impression of the art in “Friends with Boys” was Scott Pilgrim meets Zot.
