Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Look Out, Bibi's Redlining!"
Mike Flugennock says:
Am I the only one here who saw those fotos of Netanyahu at the UN the other day and wondered "what the hell kind of pointy-haired middle-management dog'n'pony bullshit am I looking at?" Seriously, was the guy smoking crack on the plane to New York, or what?
Oh, and don't forget, folks -- you can't pronounce "Netanyahu" without "yahoo".
--
"Though I could not caution all, I yet may warn a few:
Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools!"
--grateful dead.

SPX 2012 - Jaime Hernandez: The Love Bungler
Sep 24, 2012 by SmallPressExpo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-tM-RKuxr0&feature=player_embedded
Jaime Hernandez and his brothers launched the alternative comics era with their epoch-defining series Love and Rockets. From 1981 to the present, Hernandez has produced a singular body of work tracing the life of Maggie Chascarillo and her vast network of friends, family, neighbors, rivals and lovers. In recent years, Jaime has, again, broken new ground with brilliant comics novellas that remain accessible to new readers while building upon years of narrative to invest his stories with a profound emotionality. He will discuss his work with artist Frank Santoro.
SPX 2012 - Daniel Clowes: Modern Cartoonist
Sep 27, 2012 by SmallPressExpo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v-kMyLdC_A&feature=relmfu
Daniel Clowes first gained fame with his iconic comic book series Eightball and graphic novel Ghost World, which he co-adapted into a film of the same name. In recent books, including The Death-Ray and Wilson, his unique visual-narrative voice expertly manipulates the position of the reader to get more deeply under the skins of his sharply rendered characters. Recently the subject of a major retrospective exhibit and monograph, Clowes will discuss his work with Alvin Buenaventura, editor of The Art of Daniel Clowes: Modern Cartoonist, and scholar Ken Parille.
