I actually got a phone call from Australia last night - and I'm old enough to find that technologically marvelous and cool - for quotes for this story:
American Splendour's Harvey Pekar dies
Thea Dikeos reported this story on Wednesday, July 14, 2010

I'm going to keep mulling over that spontaneous Steinbeck comparison as I think there's something to it. When I mentioned Hemingway and Steinbeck, I initially meant Pekar was a quintessentially American writer, but I think he might have some real thematic links to Steinbeck.

More on Harvey Pekar
It sounds like Harvey just wore out last night.
I'm sure tributes and obituaries will be popping up all over this week. I know the Washington Post print edition should have one tomorrow. Today Comic Riffs did two posts on Harvey -

Harvey Pekar's passing
I've just heard that Harvey Pekar passed away during the night. Some years ago I was asked to fill in and interview Harvey at SPX. I reluctantly agreed, and went home and brushed up on his career. Day 1 went well, so I did the second session the next day with Harvey and his collaborators Josh Neufeld, Ed Piskor and Dean Haspiel. These two interviews became the genesis of my edited book of interviews, Harvey Pekar: Conversations. Harvey gave me his permission to use anything he had done, but he didn't have a file of interviews to make my life much easier. I got the occasional thrill of picking up the phone and hearing him saying, "Hey Mike, it's Harvey Pekar" as though his gruff voice wasn't immediately recognizable. The book came out about a year later, and Harvey and I stayed loosely in touch. I always found him to be kind and approachable, not a curmudgeon, and will miss our infrequent talks and any new stories from him. Through the force of his intellect and willpower, Harvey made himself a part of the American experience and we've lost something with his death.

Batwoman: Elegy reviewed in Examiner
Today's Examiner had a brief review of Batwoman: Elegy which isn't online. The main takeaway: "The obvious attraction is Williams and colorist Dave Stewart's artwork, whose mutable style and wildly inventive layouts get across the story's twisted chronology and psychological subtleties all by themselves."

Wondermark's David Malki likes Cul de Sac too
Richard's fan club is growing today, after a Facebook post by Chris "Crogan's Vengeance" Schweizer and now David "Wondermark" Malki's blogging about it. You have to love Malki's opinion "Despite running in newspapers, this is a great comic strip."
Perhaps coincidentally, Richard sat next to both of them at HeroesCon and they may have been infected by his meme.
Also, I read all three of these cartoonists regularly and like their works.

Print vs web? Editorial at NY Times
Here's an editorial on the positive effects for children of having books at home versus using the computer. I don't agree with Brooks arguement about hierarchy, but I personally think there's something to a book. Or comic. Or graphic novel.
The Internet culture has yet to incorporate the literary culture of traditional bookish learning.
Jack Black drawing in today's Express
There's a lovely drawing of a girl sitting on the statue of Lincoln's lap, reading, in today's Express. It's by Jack Black, and has a comics feel, although I don't know his work. I'll probably pick up some extras just to tearsheet this page. The man behind the Ephemerist collects art like this.

Q.Guest cartoonists?
Within memory, you've had Mo Willems do a guest week on your strip. Do you get any response to that switch? I liked it myself and think it's a better idea than reprints.
Ooh, and a couple of new ones:
Q.Cartoon contest = competition?
Did you feel as though you were helping out possible future competition by being a judge?
Q.Deadlines
How far ahead are you? A 'Cul de Sac' week or a 'Pearls Before Swine' 1/2 year?

Brooke A. Allen at Big Planet Comics Vienna
I hadn't heard of Brooke A. Allen before her appearance at Big Planet Comics Vienna - which turns out to be no surprise because she's still at student at SCAD, even though she's got her first graphic novel coming out now. I talked to her briefly, asking about her influences and was surprised to hear Walt Kelly, followed by Jeff Smith. After reading the book, I can definitely see Bone's influence. I enjoyed the story and will run a brief review at the City Paper soon, but here's some photos.
She made a nice drawing in each book - the people in front of me got the bad magician.
My daughter got Mr. Easter.
And I got a self-portrait.
There was a darn big crowd for both Ms. Allen and the 4th of July sale.
She kept cranking through the drawings for people and I think the store expected to sell out of the book.
BP had these nice posters on sale for $3. I got mine.

DC Conspiracy exhibit at DC's Martin Luther King Library
Andrew Cohen just wrote in to tell us about an upcoming exhibit.
Just wanted to let you know about an event I'm putting together with the DC Conspiracy, called Comic Book Boom, at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library.
Basically, it's meant to show off some of the comic art that the DCC does in the city, and to put a spotlight on comics more generally. It will consist of an exhibit of comic book art, a comic book reading area, and a couple of how-to workshops for making comics.
There will be more than 20 framed pieces of comic book art that people in the DCC have drawn; spinning racks and shelves filled with books put out by the group and DCC members; and workshops on July 31 and August 21, led by Conspirators.
The facebook page is at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/event.php?eid=133445306667199&ref=mf

Post and Times on Norman Rockwell exhibit
I'm of two minds about Rockwell, but I think if you approach him as a consummate illustrator, as Solomon does, you can enjoy his work more than if you worry about putting him into an artistic pantheon at the moment.
Norman Rockwell exhibit opens at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, By Blake Gopnik, Washington Post Sunday, July 4, 2010; E01. There are 86 comments now on this one mostly bashing Gopnik.

Morgan Bramlet's graphic novel plans
This story identifies Morgan Bramlet as "McLean author Morgan Bramlet, author of Virtual Death: A Cyber Thriller" which is a bit far afield for us, but at the end he says, "I am also working on three different graphic novel projects, which is a great medium to work in because I am able to write the words and direct the illustrations."

Bruce Guthrie on the Norman Rockwell exhibit @ American Art
Bruce Guthrie has sent in his thoughts on the new exhibit about Norman Rockwell.This is a little off-topic, but probably still of interest to our readers.
I did a staff tour of the Norman Rockwell exhibit that opens on Friday (I think). There's a decent video for it, a good variety of preliminary work and final oils, helpful signage, etc. No photography is allowed in the exhibit of course.
There's a study cart available some times where you'll be able to pose people with props in front of a Saturday Evening Post backdrop. That takes a while to set up -- they want to teach you about posing "in the Rockwell way" -- but people did some creative group shots.
The exhibit including film takes about 45 minutes to go through. They have crowd control for lines -- you have to queue through the courtyard and they're expecting lots of visitors. They're also planning for lines outside the building before the museum opens in the morning.
There's a big opening with Lucas and Spielberg Thursday night for donors at the $5k level. I wasn't eligible for that, but it would have been fun. For that event only, they're building four sets in the courtyard -- a little school house, a diner, a barber shop, and ... something else -- to recreate Rockwell's Americana.
The exhibit's there for about 6 months. See it!

Comics on the Rack, Quick Picks for Comics Due 06-30-10
COMICS ON THE RACK
Quick Picks for Comics Due 06-30-10
By John Judy
ABE SAPIEN: ABYSSAL PLAIN #1 of 2 by Mike Mignola, John Arcudi and Peter Snejbjerg. Hellboy's pal finds a haunted commie sub. Hijinks ensue. Pretty art.
ACTION COMICS #890 by Paul Cornell and Pete Woods. After an eternity plowing through the adventures of Night-Who-Knows and Flame-Who-Cares we finally have a star of this title whom fans want to read about: Lex-frickin-Luthor! Turns out Lex really dug being an Orange Lantern and now he wants to recapture that orange juice. Of course some fools are gonna get in his way. And that's how you write a comic called ACTION! Highly recommended.
ASTONISHING X-MEN #34 by Warren Ellis and Phil Jimenez. Undead…robot…alien…mutant…Ellisy stuff! Gotta look.
BATMAN BEYOND #1 of 6 by Adam Beechen and Ryan Benjamin. Future Batman kicks future butt.
CAPTAIN AMERICA #607 by Ed Brubaker and Butch Guice. Baron Zemo wants to kill Bucky America all over again. The continuing epic that, were it written by anyone but Brubaker, would require the author to be punched in the face. Recommended.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE 1940S NEWSPAPER STRIP #1 by Karl Kesel and Butch Guice. Collecting the recently unearthed run of the 1940s daily strip by time-traveling bullpenners Kesel and Guice! Sadly they were not allowed to kill Hitler.
CAPTAIN SWING #2 of 4 by Warren Ellis and Raul Caceres. If high-tech anarchists are taking it to The Man it's probably written by Warren Ellis. High voltage graphic entertainment with a cockney 'tude. Recommended.
CHIMICHANGA #3 of 3 written and drawn by Eric Powell. Last issue those carny-trash bastids turned on Chimichanga! Dare we hope, given his brutish strength and appetites, he might attain a modicum of "git-back?" Because that would be great... Recommended.
CHRONICLES OF WORMWOOD: LAST BATTLE #4 of 6 by Garth Ennis and Oscar Jimenez. Jay comes out as the returned Christ and the undead Pope Jacko's on the warpath! How can this not be hideously awesome? Recommended. Not for kids.
COMPLETE DR AND QUINCH GN by Alan Moore and Alan Davis. Check out the humor strip Alan Moore blatantly plagiarized from NATIONAL LAMPOON back in 1983! Seriously, character-types, storylines, even narrative tone ripped whole cloth from the earlier OC AND STIGGS stories written by Tod Carroll and Ted Mann for NATIONAL LAMPOON in 1981-82. This is why you are allowed to look down your nose at Alan Moore anytime he whines about DC making money from stuff he created. You're welcome.
FLASH #3 by Geoff Johns and Francis Manapul. From future rogue cops to super murder mysteries, things haven't slowed down since Barry Allen came back from the dead. Or should we say, "back from the dead for now?"
GREEN LANTERN #55 by Geoff Johns and Doug Mahnke. Featuring Atrocitus the Red Lantern versus Lobo, so you kind of have to buy this. Big fight with biker chains and red puke. Recommended.
INVINCIBLE IRON MAN ANNUAL #1 by Matt Fraction, Salvador Larroca and Carmine DiGiandomenico. Okay, so this should really be called "The Mandarin Annual #1" but it's pretty cool and Iron Man shows up several times. Recommended.
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #46 by James Robinson and Mark Bagley. It's a JLA/JSA crossover with the teams fighting all kinds of new bad guys created when the original Green Lantern's power source goes nuts. Ruckus guaranteed!
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #40 by Bill Willingham and Jesus Merino. Future Ratzis get theirs! Next up: JLA team-up!
MEATCAKE GN written and drawn by Dame Darcy. A collection of bizarre fantasy humor, including a collaboration with Alan Moore that he didn't plagiarize from anyone. From Fantagraphics.
MINDFIELD #1 by J.T. Krul and Alex Konat. CIA mind-readers fighting Terror!
NORTHLANDERS #29 by Brian Wood and Fiona Staples. A Viking boat gets lost. Will they ask for directions? Highly recommended.
SAN FRANCISCO PANORAMA: COMICS SECTION TABLOID FORMAT by Art Spiegelman, Dan Clowes, Adrian Tomine and many more. Like DC's WEDNESDAY COMICS done by awesome indy creators. Gotta look!
SECRET AVENGERS #2 by Ed Brubaker and Mike Deodato. Hey, if Moon Knight was on your team you'd keep it a secret too! Bam! No seriously, it's cool. It's Brubaker/Deodato and the heroes go to Mars. Recommended.
SHADE THE CHANGING MAN, VOL. 3: SCREAM TIME SC by Peter Milligan and Several Awesome Artists. Collecting issues #14-19 of the amazing psychedelic 80s horror comic, courtesy of the wayback machine and the American Scream. Recommended!
SIMPSONS SUPER SPECTACULAR #11 by Many Funny Folks. Springfield's finest superheroes for readers in need of good all-ages fun.
THOR #611 by Kieron Gillen and Richard Elson. Thor goes to Hell to straighten some stuff out. Hard.
TURF #2 by Jonathan Ross and Tommy Lee Edwards. Bootleg Era gangsters fight vampires with the help of alien invaders from space! You're darn right you need to have this!
VELOCITY #1 of 4 by Ron Marz and Kenneth Rocafort. The adventures of the fastest woman in the world, Image-style! Winner of the "Pilot Season" contest!
WEREWOLVES OF MONPELIER GN by Jason. A romantic comedy about the perils of pretending to be something you're not. Like, a werewolf, say… An antidote to "Twilight." Recommended.
WONDER WOMAN #600 by Everyone, including Simone, Straczynski, Perez and Jimenez. A bunch of stories from Diana's past, present and future celebrating 600 comics with the Princess of Paradise Island in the lead! Recommended!
X-CAMPUS #1 of 4 by Lotsa People. Basically an alternate universe version of the X-gang where everyone's in a seriously cliquey high school. Like the Ultimate stuff except done by European creators. "Euro-Ultimate X-Men?"

Comicsgirl's report on the Graphic Content panel
I finally got to meet Comicsgirl who blogs about comics around DC too. She put up a good report on today's Graphic Content panel so I don't have to. Whew. Bobbie of the DC Library recorded the event and will have a podcast of it up at some point. I think it was a good event and I appreciate her setting it up and asking me to help. Being off to one side of downtown, it was somewhat underattended, but I think the online audio will be of interest since we had a nice range of cartoonists. I took a couple of pictures afterwards and I'll try to get them up tomorrow.
