Update for 10/9/25

October 9, 2025

New review today for Best of Three by Sean Knickerbocker, as that Cartoon Crossroads review train just keeps rolling along.


Update for 10/7/25

October 7, 2025

New review today for I Never Found You by Emma Jon-Michael Frank, and you’d better believe that this is another week of Cartoon Crossroads reviews.


Update for 10/3/25

October 3, 2025

Oh hey, maybe birthday, future me! Self-indulgent, but you’re allowed to do it if you have your own website. New review today for Trans Girls Hit the Town by Emma Jayne! And after my previous disappointment at being unable to find ways to buy the comics I’d been reviewing from the con, you can get a copy of this one online easily.


Update for 10/1/25

October 1, 2025

New review today for Untitled (2024) by Glenn Baskin, and I think this makes 100% of the comics I’ve reviewed from Cartoon Crossroads so far that have no noticeable way to actually buy them online? Help me out here, people!


Update for 9/29/25

September 29, 2025

Oh sure, NOW I get a bunch of comics to review in the mail. Sorry folks, it’s going to be Cartoon Crossroads time around here for at least a few more weeks, but I’ll get to them. New review today for Bogue #5 by Ruby Carter!


Update for 9/25/25

September 25, 2025

New review today for The Canine Revolution Part 1: The Book of Yinlod by Tim Ballard. This is one of the first two books that I got at the convention that were both about dogs, but sadly I couldn’t keep that up for the entire convention. Some people made comics about things other than dogs, can you even imagine?


Update for 9/23/25

September 23, 2025

Back from Cartoon Crossroads, which was great once again, thanks for asking! One of these years maybe some kindly rich person (since they’re oh so common out there) will give me enough money to buy a copy of every comic at the con, but I did the best I could! New review today for Tales to Demystify: The Perfect Breakfast Sandwich by John G.


“Update” for 9/19/25

September 19, 2025

To round out the week I’m linking to my reviews for Steve Steiner, and I’m really hoping that he has some new editions of his giant newspaper comics at Cartoon Crossroads this weekend. Come to the con why don’t you?


“Update” for 9/18/25

September 18, 2025

If anybody in the world is a fan of my especially long and rambling reviews, all of Nate Powell’s work that I’ve reviewed has been graphic novels, and I do go on when it comes to those.


“Update” for 9/17/25

September 17, 2025

Today I’m linking to a newish favorite around here, Karl Christian Krumpholz! And yes, since I’ve been doing this for 24 years, somebody that I’ve only been reviewing for 9 years does count as “newish.”


“Update” for 9/16/25

September 16, 2025

Today I’m posting the reviews for somebody who’s a featured guest at Cartoon Crossroads this weekend, but I started reviewing his stuff when he was still doing mini comics: Matt Madden! Crikey, look at the text formatting on some of these oldies…


“Update” for 9/15/25

September 15, 2025

It’s a trick! There are no actual reviews this week, but I am going to post a link to all of my reviews for somebody who’s going to be at Cartoon Crossroads this weekend every day. Watch how they/I evolve over the years! Probably more them then me, honestly. I’m mostly still the same old dope I’ve always been. Anyway, let’s start things off with reigning champ of the website (i.e. the person I’ve reviewed the most) Brian Canini!


Update for 9/4/25

September 4, 2025

New review today for The Bible Drawings Part One by John Mitkoff. I wasn’t able to get to Chicago this weekend as planned, meaning my options for review comics until Cartoon Crossroads in a couple of weeks are just about gone. Will I get enough comics over the next week to write reviews next weekend? Probably not, but maybe!


Update for 9/2/25

September 2, 2025

New review today for Maps by Chris Auman, as I’ve somehow ended up with maybe the dumbest theme week around here yet: double page spread as a sample image week! Ugh, that needs a catchy name in the worst way.


Update for 8/28/25

August 28, 2025

New review today for Ninja Bootleg by Brian Canini, and you wouldn’t believe how low my Canini comic reserves are getting. The plan is to get to Chicago this weekend and stock up at Quimby’s, so we’ll see if that’s what actually happens!


Update for 8/26/25

August 26, 2025

Hey everybody, Andrew Neal has a new comic out! Review today is for No Raccoons in Hell by that guy I just mentioned.


Not really an update for 8/23/25

August 23, 2025

Fantagraphics lost a whole lot of money/books when Diamond publishing went out of business (long story), so they’re having a big old 30% off sale through 8/25. If you’re looking for suggestions, well I just reviewed Jordan Crane’s latest and you may have noticed that I had very nice things to say about that. Or you can do what I do and just get another book from Jason every time you order (I’ll get them all sooner or later). Or the newest Hate series by Peter Bagge was just collected, or you must have missed at least one of Simon Hanselmann’s books, or maybe one of their big old hardcover collections that always seemed too expensive is now affordable for you, etc. Help them out and get some great books in the process!


Update for 8/22/25

August 22, 2025

New review today for The Fifty Flip Experiment #34 by Dan Hill! Is this the last of the reviews until Cartoon Crossroads next month, since most of my review comics are gone? Eh, probably not.


Update for 8/20/25

August 20, 2025

New review today for Goes Like This by Jordan Crane, and after this one I’ll be going back and rereading his old graphic novels. Yes, that means I liked it!


Update for 8/18/25

August 18, 2025

New review today for the last of this round of mini kus books, Sandbox by Yuichi Yokoyama. Does this pile go out with a bang or a whimper? Also my apologies for taking the week off last week, but my review pile is at a low ebb at the moment (hint hint, to anybody looking for a quick review). Cartoons Crossroads is a month away, so I’ll definitely restock there. If I don’t get more review comics maybe I’ll dig through the boxes for some oldies? Who knows!
