Apparently, Kilgore Books & Comics is releasing a King-Cat documentary at this year’s SPX! This is the first I’m hearing of it, but I couldn’t be more pleased. And it’s titled Root Hog or Die, which is my favorite life motto. Hot damn!
From the Collection
My haul from Home-Baked Zines and Cakes, happening now in Bushwick. Come out and support Educated Little Monsters. #minicomic #zineInktoby by A.T. Pratt (2016). I don't even get how something this funny was improvised day by day, but sometimes that's how it works. It's full of brilliant rhymes and gags. I was fortunate enough to see A.T. do a live reading of this, which is a whole other experience. #minicomic #moccafest2018Ohio is for Sale by Jon Allen (2017). Jon is a real unsung talent. More folks should be reading his minicomics. Though this issue is more like a mini graphic novel. #moccafest2018The Experts by Sophie Franz (2016). Published by Retrofit / Big Planet. A mysterious, haunting story. Has a Lost vibe to it. Nice art; looks like it's painted. #minicomic #moccafest2018Book of Daze by E.A. Bethea (2017). Published by Domino Books. These short comics are exquisite little poems. One of my favorites from MoCCA. It's nice to discover work that surprises you. This comic looks kind out of place in 2018. #minicomic #moccafest2018Do Geese See God 1 by Nicholas Offerman (2018). The first of four chapters about a man at a low point in his life. A funeral brings him back to his hometown.Fever by Christina Dacanay (2018). A short comic about her experience dating as an Asian woman. Her words in the back sum it up best. "Disclaimer: I don't think any of the men depicted had a fetish, it's just something we gotta think about think about every time." #minicomic #moccafest2018My MoCCA Fest 2018 haul.The gang's all here! Come by MoCCA Fest and pick up the Tiny Report 5 and Age of Elves 3!Age of Elves 3 by Colin Lidston (2018). Pick this up at the Paper Rocket table at MoCCA! #minicomicThe Tiny Report 5! Sixty pages! Finally done. Get it at MoCCA this weekend. #zinesBoy's Club 4 by Matt Furie (2010). Published by Pigeon Press. Back before Pepe the Frog was hijacked by the alt-right. Pepe is really just a peaceful stoner who likes to hang with his friends. #savepepe #minicomicBack from the printer! Covers for the Tiny Report 5. Art by Zack Soto. Preorder on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/362250370/paper-rocket-minicomics-2018-spring-lineGhost Lady by Thu Tran (2016). Cool and creepy one-sheet comic. I'm sorry I didn't get a better picture of the reverse image. It's probably the best part. #minicomicAll my Eleanor Davis minis. Learn more in the next Tiny Report. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/362250370/paper-rocket-minicomics-2018-spring-linePeer by Kevin Budnick (2017). Published by Believed Behavior. Another mini I'm reviewing in the Tiny Report: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/362250370/paper-rocket-minicomics-2018-spring-linePerfect Discipline and Unbending Loyalty by Tommi Parrish (2017). One of the comics I review in the new issue of the Tiny Report. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/362250370/paper-rocket-minicomics-2018-spring-lineA rare bit of self promotion! I'm Kickstarting the new issue of The Tiny Report, which include an interview with Mike Diana, conducted by Haleigh Buck. Haleigh also made this illustration! Please share and support: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/362250370/paper-rocket-minicomics-2018-spring-linePut An Egg On It 3 (2011). Really nicely designed, great articles. I'm not a foodie, but it's still one of my favorites. #zineLittle Buddies 2 by Edie Fake (year unknown, 2013?). A zine that documents anthropomorphic characters in advertising. This issue is all teeth. #zine
