Daily-ish posts from (usually) Bram and (sometimes) Monica about comics in general, this comic in particular, art, design, publishing, visual culture, and far, far too many things about actual squirrels.

The American Society of Magazine Editors has announced the top 40 magazine covers of the last 40 years. Unfortunately, the cover gallery gives no art direction or photography credits.

Via AJ, the Beeb has selected the best wildlife photo of the year. What I love most about it is that it could be a brush and ink illustration. Bram 10.22.2005
Unfortunately, the whole squirrels on crack thing is still unconfirmed. Bram 10.21.2005
OK, literally just finished reading the first Gotham Central trade In the Line of Duty. Yeah, yeah, mainstream, DC, &c. To that I say, Brubaker and Rucka. Artwork reminiscent of Year One. And a whole story and feel that takes me back to Homicide, which I still think was pretty much the best show on television. Bram 10.18.2005

Of course we made it out to Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit for opening weekend. Of course we loved it (though I'll always prefer The Wrong Trousers. Aardman's box-office winning weekend was unfortunately tempered by some bad news. Bram 10.07.2005
My old hometown museum is now encouraging everyone to be a Surrealist. Don't judge them too harshly. I spent many hours getting lost among their collection in my youth, and I still fondly recall visiting one of my favorite paintings. (OK, I was going to insert a link to Max Ernst's "Europe After the Deluge," which the Wadsworth's abysmal search engine will not turn up in their own collection; maybe they do deserve the grief).
