New review today for Baggage by Violet Kitchen, and you’d better believe that this week is all about Cartoon Crossroads comics. Oddly, I’ve also been getting a lot of comics in the mail lately, which normally take precedence as far as reviews go, but, you know… convention.
Update for 10/3/24
October 3, 2024New review today for Sucker by Mary Shyne, and why yes, I am actually going to make a serious effort to get through my CXC review pile this month, or at least put a big dent in it. Too busy with work, schmoo busy with work, that’s what I say!

October 2, 2024Boy did I ever get a lot of comics at CXC this year. You’ll be reading about them soon, but it’s also crazy busy season at work, so please, as always, bear with me. To a few people at CXC that I planned to go back and visit because their table was busy when I came by, my apologies for forgetting to do that. Hi Karl Christian Krumpholz and MS Harkness! Maybe next year. New review today for Bunworld #1 by Maggie Umber!

September 26, 2024New review for King Cat #83 by John Porcellino, which is a fine comic to review right before Cartoon Crossroads, I think. Say hi if you see me wandering around the show, or at one of the talks (I’m definitely going to make Art Spiegelman’s on Friday night, Kate Beaton’s earlier in the day if I can get to town in time). I’ll be the blond guy with glasses who looks like he lives in Ohio but has actually recently moved to Illinois.

September 24, 2024New review today for The Flaming Skull of Death by Chris Auman, and yes, I am reviewing more than one comic this week. But not many more! Luckily I’ll be heading to CXC in Columbus this weekend, so I’ll have more comics than I have time to talk about very soon.

September 19, 2024Didn’t I just apologize last week for the lack of reviews? Well, consider this a repeat. I’m going to unearth the comics I still had left to review (that’s right, they’re in one of the still unopened boxes from the move) and get a few together for next week. Oh, and there’s a new review today for the last of the mini kus pile, On the Honeylands of Mars by Matti Hagelberg. Also it looks like the kus folks are going to be at Cartoon Crossroads in Columbus next weekend, which I’m seemingly going to be able to attend even though I live in Illinois now. Go to the convention, it’s free!

September 12, 2024Sorry about the lack of reviews. Sure, I’m settled in (new address on the right, send me some comics so I can be sure the new mailbox works), but this new job is a lot, and I’m still trying to settle into some kind of routine. Bear with me, I do have a 23 year track record of reviewing, so chances are good that I’m not just going to vanish from the internet. Oh yeah, new review for Into the Thicket by Mark Antonius Puhkan!

September 4, 2024Hey, I made it to Champaign! I’ve had a working internet for a whole day now and boy howdy, that just never works right on the first try, does it? I went out with a mini kus, so I’m coming back to Illinois with a mini kus: new review today for Comicum by Majenye!

“Update” for 8/20/24
August 20, 2024So it turns out that moving from Ohio to Illinois (with as much stuff I have) is an incredibly time consuming process! I’d hoped to get another review or two in before I left, but here I am, leaving tomorrow, and most likely without an internet connection for the week after that. The new address is 306 E. California Ave Urbana IL 61801, in case you had comics you wanted me to review. I’ll be there Thursday, assuming all goes well, and why did I have to say that. Ah well. Back before the end of the month, in the meantime why not click on some random names in the “reviews by author” tab? Who knows, maybe you’ll find a new favorite artist.

August 8, 2024Oh, mini kus. You got here just in time to give me a few comics to review while I’m in the chaos of moving and already having most of my comics packed. New review today for Undertow by Sara Boica.

August 1, 2024New review today for Plastic People #13-15 by Brian Canini, and in case you didn’t see my last update, I’m moving in a few weeks, so please hold off on sending any review comics until you see an address with “Illinois” in it on the sidebar. Thanks!

July 30, 2024NEWS ALERT! I’m moving back to Illinois next month. Long story, I’ll get into it later, but it involves a better job than I have now (if not, I’m making a huge mistake). So if you were planning on mailing me review comics, maybe hold off for a few weeks, OK? I’ll post my new address up here as soon as I know it. Speaking of which, if you know anybody who’s renting a house (or nice apartment) in the Champaign/Urbana area, maybe send me an email? New review today for Eyeland #3 by Nick Forker!

July 18, 2024New review today for Scumburbia: Mega-Sized Mall Issue by Sam Grinberg. How’s that new website design grabbing you? Good? Bad? Indifferent? If it’s provoking a strong reaction, let me know! Or if you want to design/upgrade my website in return for comics because of the fact that I’m still somehow unable to do anything past the most basic website design, also let me know.

July 16, 2024Hey look everybody, a new website design! Eh, I’m still undecided about it, but my skills in that area are limited (to put it extremely mildly), so I don’t want to do too much and risk blowing the whole thing up. At least now everybody can see the years that the reviews were published, for those of you think I just came into existence a few months ago or something. I’ve been talking nonsense here since August 2001, baby! Even if the dates on some of those early reviews are messed up from past website updates. Oh yeah, also there’s a new review today for Ha! Magazine Summer 2024 by Robb Mirsky.
