Brian mentioned this next thing in the C-list,
Kate posted her first magazine gig,
a nice one for The Walrus.
You can get it as a print too I hear.
Next is J.Duncan, and his strip “Mine”
I can’t say I agree with him on this,
but given my involvement and bias
when it comes to the local Student conflicts,
I thought I’d give the other side some time.
Check his site for the notes!
Have you seen Brandon Graham’s blog?
You should go look now, after reading this I scooped up out of the FB feeds.
Such zen wisdom from a young master.
France’s Boulet posted another incredible comic,
about the most shredding pizza ever. Read this now!
Ty had a few intersting posts
for Bun Toons over
the last few weeks.
One about Before Watchmen,
