Woah, woah, woah, Fantagraphics. “The most well-respected cartoonist of all time”? I mean, sure, subculture-galvanizing, barrier-demolishing, graphically and thematically adventurous — I wouldn’t even quibble if you called him the greatest cartoonist of all time, because that’s a ridiculous thing to call anyone, and Barks and Kirby and Tezuka and Hergé and Herriman...

novazembla: I consider myself a depression lifer. I find it very hard to believe that there will ever be a time that depression is not a factor in my life at all, not even as a dormant tendency. Is this just a depression-induced “feeling of hopelessness”? Because I don’t feel particularly down about it. Often it’s just something I have to keep an eye on, like someone with diabetes remembering to...

barthel: We can all agree that comedy nerds are the Internet-era equivalent of being really into Monty Python, right? Like, having strong opinions about stand-up comics is what people who took AP classes do instead of quote Anchorman. Last night I replied to this by saying “there goes my thousand-word piece on the meaning of w. kamau bell,” which I grant is pretty incoherent, but...

This has been sitting in my drafts folder for months, ever since I posted the last Toonerville cartoon. I never finished the essay I got a running start on below, because I ran out of the emotions that had prompted it. But having received another visitation of the spirits recently, I eventually made a landing of a kind. Sorry it took so long, Rob. I know nothing more about Fontaine Fox than can...
