The Cross Hatch Dispatch 6/22/2008
[Above, comics artists to conquer public transit stations, next, the world! Below, the dispatch takes a walk through the feed reader]
- The grocery store check-out line is not a library: A four-page Entertainment Weekly comic strip in which Alison Bechdel, the author of must-read graphic novel “Fun Home,” talks about not being able to read things other people push onto her.
- Every time our own Brian Heater is interviewed by some random blogger, he can’t help but plug his favorite pet project, the DCH. But we’re not complaining.
- Go sit in on Brian Hughes’ Peter Bagge 101 course, given at his blog Again With the Comics.
- You know what happens when comics award nominees are announced? SALE!!!
- Ellen Forney + Public Transportation = Giant Hand Murals.
- Dash Shaw continues his streak of ubiquity: New York Magazine excerpts Bottomless Belly Button and interviews Shaw, who also gets it on with Bookslut.
- New York Magazine’s Culture Vulture delivers a heaping week’s full of full-length comic strips from the Meathaus collective.
- Coco Wang chronicles the Sichuan, China earthquake in comic form.
- First, clever use of the office paper recycle bin. Second, it’s sad that this speaks to me even though I am no longer cubicle-bound. The life just gets inside of you and clings to you forever.
