READIN

Jeremy's journal

I have enough trouble as it is in trying to say what I think I know.

🦋 Comic strip blogs

Lately I've been reading a lot of blog posts about comic strips. This is sort of removed from the core mission of READIN but I just wanted to link to some of them for the sake of keeping the links in one place together.These links come primarily from Eddie Fitzgerald's Theory Corner.

Eddie's post about Fearless Fosdick mentioned the blog of the ASIFA Hollywood Animation Archive -- they have tons of great images there, comic strips and animation cels. I'm pretty taken with the idea that Fosdick was the inspiration for Harvey Kurtzman to create MAD Magazine, without really having anything useful to say about it.

Below that, Eddie linked to comic strip historian Allan Holtz' blog, Stripper's Guide, a wonderful resource for interesting old comic strips. Lots of Herriman, lots of old political cartooning, lots of miscellany.

Elsewhere, Fluxtumblr links to a hilarious page at Comics Should Be Good!: Comic Book Legends Revealed #181 tells the story of The Incredible Hulk #142, which adapts Tom Wolfe's Radical Chic to superhero-world. This is just too funny; you've got to go look at the pages they reproduce there.
