Edward Steed’s Posthuman Comedy | Los Angeles Review of Books Ivan Kreilkamp “blasts through ordinary perception” in Edward Steed’s “Forces of Nature: A Book of Drawings.”

My tribute to genius cartoonist Edward Steed-- out in @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social. "The 'homunculus' comics can be read as embodiments of the *actual truth* of the male self, one that is usually concealed or otherwise disguised"

Reading DO ADMIT! and chatting with @davidharper.bsky.social about it was such a wonderful experience. I came in already loving Mimi Pond’s previous graphic novels and this amplified my admiration tenfold. So much story told with so much visual invention. @dandq.bsky.social

Title: Where writers really get their ideas.

A writer, holding a note in his outstretched hand approaches a cart in the park. The front of the cart reads 'Fresh ideas' and a colourful umbrella shades the server who is reaching deep into the body of the cart (much as an ice-cream vendor might) and saying:
 "I'm all out of mind-blowing concepts and heart-rending narratives, but I've got an acerbic observation, an unexpected outcome and a couple of amusing notions."

The Daily Heller: Is a Rip-off the Sincerest Form of Thievery? – PRINT Magazine In '9 Times My Work Has Been Ripped Off,' illustrator Raymond Biesinger explores just that.

Illustrator Raymond Biesinger has experienced a range of good and bad deeds from honest and not-so-trustworthy clients and non-clients. But the one act of misanthropy that bugs him the most is being ripped off.

New to CBH's Best of 2025

Cannon by Lee Lai @dandq.bsky.social

Cannon will unquestionably get the "slice-of-life" label, but that undersells the actualization of the lives that Lai builds here, the kind of ear and eye for life that makes you wonder if this fiction could actually be autobiography.

It's #Caturday! Here's Physics for Cats, by @tomgauld.bsky.social. True, not every cartoon features cats, but every science-based cartoon is hilarious. Math freaks can figure out the ratio of cat to non-cat cartoons in the book.
