Weekend video: Eero Johnson 'reading' Kozmo Knot… dig the beatnik vibes! Originally presented at the Silent Comics Symposium earlier this month.

“Commonplace books […] are essentially such collections of passages which might prove useful later. Since such books helped assure 'copia,' the fluency or free flow of speech […] To copy something is thus in this sense to enter in a commonplace collection of 'copia' for future exploitation.”

2001 is an underrated series. Kubrick's 2001 film exploded into a thousand insane concepts on every page…

Art by Jack Kirby from 2001 issue 5. It's such an effective way to depict urban loneliness despite being surrounded by millions of city inhabitants. The building, an abstract grid obliterating everything else, fills the panel edge-to-edge. A bleak existence and a longing for space…

It's Friday, AKA "Great Comics Panel" day! Drop yours below! One of my favorite panels of all time. A human figure approaching a "massive complex in which millions live… in a world of distorted visions…"🧵

Going in I wasn't aware of the setting, and I'm in awe of the research and imagination needed to make something that feels this grounded and specific. Amazing!

The generous cross-hatching is the PERFECT fit for this claustrophobic, hallucinatory horror. So textured and alive that the reader is swept right into the panic and delusion. Halftone over hatching, decade over decade, panel over panel.

Classic impromptu review with shopkeeper Kat! This time it's The Sickness Vol. 1 by @jennacha.bsky.social & @lonnienadler.bsky.social

Career Shoplifter by Gabrielle Bell Gabrielle concludes that she is a failure in life, so she might as well do what she likes for the rest of it. She spends hours at cafes covertly drawing and eavesdropping on her fellow layabouts and shirkers every day. Occasionally she gets caught, and sometimes, she makes friends. Being a failure can be a lot of fun.
