Richard Linklater on Return to Animation: "I Felt Like I Was Making a Marvel Movie"

Having applied his signature indie aesthetic to the '70s, the '80s and — perhaps most memorably — the '90s, the director now revisits the warts-and-all '60s of his Texas youth.

Reid Muoio's Stag, his second pandemic-time comic, is out

I last talked to Reid Muoio in September of 2020, but yesterday the mailman brought copies of his new comic book. I reached out to him to ask about it, and he says, “stag” is the second of three comics I am self publishing during the pandemic. The first was “a d.c. punk” (2020) — simple remembrances from the old punk rock days. The second is “stag” (2021) — a love story in three parts: boy alone, boy meets girl, boy alone again. With luck the third will be “squirt” (2022) — a coming of age story set in the pleistocene age. Am about to send that one to the printer. All are 8 1/2” x 11”, 20 pages including front and back covers, black and white, except for two color pages in “stag.” I am partially colorblind. Might do something crazy for the cover of “squirt.” Am giving away approximately 200 copies of each and hope to somehow sell the remaining 300 at $10 to cover printing costs. My email address is muoiocomix@gmail.com .

Reid provided me with extra copies which will be going to the comics libraries in LoC, MSU, and OSU.
