The Diminishing Romance of Train Travel
I took a sleeper train across the country. I learned Via Rail is still stuck in the twentieth century
Coach is a land-based version of steerage: in this section of the train, aside from one or two sixty-two-seat cars, there’s a combination modest cafe and dome car; that’s about it. Then, there are the “Sleeper Plus” options: in ascending order, upper and lower berths, cabins for one or two, and bigger configurations like “drawing rooms.” I can remember, on those long-ago family trips, peeking through open doors at these spaces, which seemed the epitome of opulence compared to our berths. There’s a shower on each Sleeper Plus car, and all these options include meals (prime rib, lake trout . . . ). By contrast, economy choices are described, ominously, as “wholesome and comforting,” code for packets of nuts and microwaved cheeseburgers.

Out this week: Shelterbelts (Conundrum Press, $20)
This graphic novel, written and drawn by Jonathan Dyck, started life as a series of interconnected short comics about a Mennonite community in southern Manitoba, Canada. It grew from there into this graphic novel, which details what happens when a non-denominational megachurch opens on the edge of this community. You can find a preview here.
See what else arrives in comic shops this week.

The Accursed Vampire: The Curse at Witch Camp by Madeline McGrane
Three young vampires go to a summer camp for magic. Only two can cast spells, so the third, Dragoslava (queer icon) bums around and gets sad. But all is not as it seems at witch camp! (Duh!) Everyone is drawn into a magical plot, and we get touching moments (for real) about what adults owe kids, what kids owe each other, and how to navigate rejection and difference.
The Seeds by Ann Nocenti & David Aja
I just love David Aja art. The flat, sickly colors, the bold shapes. And Nocenti is just a weirdo; her aggressively allegorical writing from the '80s and '90s is toned down now, and she gives the art lots of room to do the heavy lifting.
Mimosa by Archie Bongiovanni
I'm happy to see queer artists of my generation reach middle age and make stories that are about getting older in this insane world of ours. Bongiovanni creates a great cast of aging urban queers who struggle through claiming responsibility for their feelings and actions.
Shelterbelts by Jonathan Dyck
Somewhat in the tradition of the "great" male cartoonists of the Fantagraphics age (Chester Brown, Seth, etc), Dyck takes everything I liked about those comics (the meandering pacing, the clear spare linework, the simmering emotions) and separates them from everything I hated (the misogyny and queerphobia). Shelterbelts is about a growing town in Canada struggling with religious tensions, the generation gap, and everything else our towns are struggling with.
The Chromatic Fantasy by H.A.
A transmasc nun makes a deal with the devil to escape the nunnery. Outside, he commits crimes and falls in love. I loved the bright, flat colors that are equal parts stained glass and old anime. And I loved how the main character deals with his self-hatred, internalized by growing up in a system that demands he be anything but himself.
Adversary by Blue Delliquanti
Real gutpunch shit. What are our responsibilities in the ongoing crises of looming fascism and disease? And how do we see those responsibilities across the intersection of race and sexuality? But all this is contained in a tragic love story set in the height of the pandemic.
Grog the Frog by Alba B.G.
I never watched Adventure Time, but I gather that fans of the show got from it something similar to what I got from Grog the Frog: fresh worldbuilding, funny dialogue, and great art all layered over a surprising level of emotion.
Blessed by Baal by Tzor Edery
Beautiful art. Great porn. People struggle with sex, personal joy, and understanding the self in the wider erotic world.

For the summer/fall reading club - I just finished my fifth book this morning! Yay reading!
- Coyote America by Dan Flores
- Gideon the Ninth, Harrow the Ninth, and Nona the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (are we sensing a trend here)
- Shelterbelts by Jonathan Dyck
I finished Nona and I am still so very confused, but delighted!
YOUR POEM:
They say that a comedy ends in marriage
and tragedy in death
but what about life falls so neatly
and who gets to say its the end?
What if we just said 'no' and made
the story play on?
How many lives could we get?
Hearts lit up across the board.
Let me start again, I say. Let me begin anew.
The wedding is one say say good night,
but I choose the life thereafter.
Let's have a cup of tea, build up our mana,
and adventure forth again.

Si solicitó un pasaporte este año, o lo pospuso debido a las largas colas fuera de las oficinas de pasaportes de Canadá, es posible que se haya preguntado por qué de repente es tan difícil conseguir uno de esos pequeños libros azules.El gobierno federal culpa a un aumento repentino en las solicitudes de pasaportes, al mismo tiempo que las restricciones de salud relacionadas con la pandemia significaron que hasta un 70 por ciento menos de personal podría estar en sus centros de servicio e instalaciones de procesamiento, hasta mayo de este año.Inmigración, Refugiados y Ciudadanía de Canadá (IRCC) le dijo a CBC News que los retrasos no están relacionados con la producción real de pasaportes, un proceso que está envuelto en secreto para evitar la falsificación y el fraude.Service Canada dice que no se permiten cámaras detrás del mostrador en las oficinas donde se reciben las solicitudes de pasaporte o en las instalaciones privadas donde se hacen los pasaportes. También rechazó una solicitud de entrevista de CBC News, pero no proporcionó una razón.Pero las dos agencias que supervisan la mayor parte del trabajo proporcionaron información para ayudar a armar el viaje del pasaporte en Canadá, desde el momento en que presenta la solicitud hasta que recibe su nuevo documento de viaje.Las personas que esperan solicitar un pasaporte canadiense hacen fila durante la noche frente a una oficina de Service Canada en Vancouver el 22 de junio. (Darryl Dyck/Espanol)Etapa de aplicaciónEl primer paso consiste en completar un formulario para un nuevo pasaporte de niño o adulto, o un formulario de renovación de pasaporte. Los canadienses pueden enviar su solicitud completa por correo o solicitarla en persona en una oficina de pasaportes o en el centro de Service Canada, según la rapidez con la que necesiten un pasaporte.Los gerentes de las oficinas de pasaportes y los centros de Service Canada han estado "evaluando" a los que hacen fila, a veces durante horas, solo para ser rechazados, para asegurarse de que los que tienen el viaje más urgente lleguen al frente de la fila. Las agencias no rastrean cuántos clientes están siendo rechazados.Viaje dentro de 2-45 días hábiles:Cualquier persona que planee viajar dentro de los 45 días hábiles posteriores a la solicitud debe visitar una de las 35 oficinas de pasaportes en todo Canadá y mostrar un comprobante de viaje.Si elige esta ruta, puede tomar hasta dos semanas, más el tiempo de envío, para recibir su nuevo pasaporte, aunque hay opciones de recogida urgente y expresa disponibles para aquellos que viajan antes, por una tarifa adicional.Viajes después de 45 días hábiles:Aquellos con fechas de viaje más lejanas deben ir a uno de los centros 307 Service Canada del país equipados para manejar documentos de pasaporte o enviar su solicitud por correo. El miércoles, la ministra de Desarrollo Social, Karina Gould, dijo que el gobierno planea agregar el procesamiento de pasaportes en más centros de Service Canada en las próximas semanas.Dada la demanda actual, puede tomar hasta 13 semanas, más el tiempo de envío por correo, para recibir su pasaporte si presenta la solicitud en un centro de Service Canada o por correo. Sin embargo, algunos canadienses se han quejado de esperar meses en el limbo, sin actualizaciones en sus solicitudes.Desde que comenzaron a levantarse las medidas contra la pandemia, los viajeros se han enfrentado a una multitud de problemas, desde obtener nuevos pasaportes hasta largas filas en la seguridad del aeropuerto, cancelaciones de vuelos y pérdida de equipaje. Aquí, los pasajeros hacen cola en el Aeropuerto Pearson de Toronto el 4 de mayo. (Jonathan Castell/CBC)Si presenta la solicitud en persona, el trabajador detrás del mostrador revisará sus documentos para asegurarse de que no se haya perdido nada. Service Canada dice que las solicitudes enviadas por correo son "alrededor de un 40 por ciento menos eficientes de procesar"; además, una vez que se envían los documentos importantes,
como los certificados de nacimiento, no se sabe cuándo el gobierno podría devolverlos por correo.No está claro cuándo los canadienses podrían saltarse la fila por completo y presentar su solicitud en línea. El gobierno otorgó a IBM un contrato para desarrollar un proceso de aplicación digital en 2020. IRCC dice que hay un proyecto piloto en curso.Detección y controles de seguridadUna vez que se recibe una solicitud, un oficial analiza la elegibilidad del solicitante para un pasaporte, se asegura de que su información personal esté completa, verifica su foto y se asegura de que todos los documentos proporcionados sean auténticos. Si falta algo, se puede contactar al cliente para proporcionar esos detalles o documentación, o simplemente se le pueden enviar sus documentos para comenzar el proceso de solicitud nuevamente.Service Canada dice que los errores más comunes en las solicitudes se relacionan con información sobre:Direcciones pasadas.Ocupaciones pasadas.Garante y referencias.Documentos idénticos.Service Canada dice que los errores más comunes en las solicitudes de pasaporte se relacionan con la información sobre direcciones y ocupaciones anteriores, el garante y las referencias del solicitante, y los documentos de identidad. (Ilustración: CBC, Fuente: Gobierno de Canadá)Luego vienen los controles de seguridad, muchos de los cuales están envueltos en secreto. Un oficial verifica la información del solicitante en las bases de datos, incluida una llamada System Lookout, una lista especial a la que un padre puede agregar a su hijo si cree que otro adulto podría solicitar un pasaporte en nombre del niño, poniéndolo en riesgo de secuestro. El oficial también llevará a cabo una evaluación de riesgos para el solicitante, en busca de posibles señales de alerta.El Programa de Pasaportes también colabora con agencias de inteligencia, policía, justicia federal, correccionales y fronterizas, así como con la Interpol y otras, aunque no está claro qué información se intercambia con esas organizaciones cuando un canadiense solicita un pasaporte.Si se marcan problemas de seguridad o fraude, la solicitud pasa a un segundo nivel de revisión por parte de los especialistas en integridad del Programa Passport en IRCC.El personal de Service Canada y la oficina de pasaportes está capacitado para detectar documentos fraudulentos y otras irregularidades al ayudar con las solicitudes de pasaporte. Aquí, la gente hace fila para ingresar a una oficina de Service Canada en Oshawa, Ontario, el 30 de mayo. (Doug Ives/Espanol)La cantidad de tiempo para cualquier evaluación y verificación depende de qué tan compleja sea la solicitud de la persona, cualquier brecha o "rareza" en su información y la capacidad del Programa de Pasaportes para corroborar la información o resolver sus inquietudes, dijo el IRCC.Una vez que se aprueba una solicitud de pasaporte, o "autorizada", en el lenguaje de la oficina de pasaportes, está lista para el proceso de fabricación.hacer el pasaporteEl gobierno federal en realidad no hace esos pasaportes azules; ese trabajo se subcontrata a Canadian Bank Note Company, que también imprime los billetes de banco de Canadá. (Canadian Bank Note no respondió a las solicitudes de comentarios).La empresa con sede en Ottawa produce pasaportes en blanco en un lugar no revelado. El Programa de Pasaportes del gobierno es responsable de imprimir la página de la foto, que incluye su información biográfica, y de codificar su foto e información en un chip incrustado en el pasaporte en sus propios sitios de impresión.La Canadian Bank Note Company produce pasaportes en blanco, que se muestran a la izquierda, mientras que el Programa de pasaportes del gobierno es responsable de imprimir la página de la foto y codificar la foto y la información del titular en un chip incrustado en el libro. (CBC)Otras características de seguridad incluyen imágenes holográficas en la página de la foto y tinta oculta que solo se revela bajo la luz ultravioleta.El gobierno
no dijo cuánto tiempo lleva hacer cada pasaporte, o cuánto de la tarifa del pasaporte se destina a los costos de fabricación.Sin embargo, puede ver cómo se ve el proceso de impresión de pasaportes en estos videos detrás de escena publicados por el Ministerio del Interior del Reino Unido y el Departamento de Asuntos Exteriores y Comercio de Australia.Más cheques, luego entregaDespués de imprimir cada pasaporte, se realizan controles de control de calidad para asegurarse de que la información en el libro sea precisa y que el chip funcione. Entonces el libro está listo para ser enviado.Si envió su solicitud por correo, su pasaporte será devuelto por correo. Si presentó la solicitud en persona, puede recoger su pasaporte, por una tarifa adicional de $ 20, o pedir que se lo envíen por correo. Si Service Canada no le devuelve su pasaporte dentro del período de tiempo prometido, no cobrará la tarifa de recolección.La gente hace fila en una oficina de pasaportes en Montreal el 22 de junio. El gobierno federal dice que anunciará más opciones de procesamiento de pasaportes en los centros de Service Canada en las próximas semanas. (Ryan Remiorz/Espanol)Service Canada dice que se contrató a cientos de empleados durante el año pasado para acelerar el proceso, incluidos trabajadores cuyo trabajo es abrir y escanear solicitudes enviadas por correo, así como más oficiales para procesar esas solicitudes.Dice que espera que la acumulación de pasaportes "disminuya significativamente" para fines del verano, a un "inventario más bajo y más sostenible" hacia 2023. Sin embargo, la agencia también señala que el doble de pasaportes vencerá el próximo año: 2.8 millones, en comparación con 1,3 millones que vencen este año, ya que vencen los primeros pasaportes de 10 años, emitidos en 2013.

DEBUTING AT TCAF 2018 - 4PANEL 2 by Various Artists
In the pages of 4PANEL 2, artists Jessica Bartram, Jonathan Dyck, Drazen Kozjan, Hartley Lin, Erik Nebel, Samplerman and Fiona Smyth explore the 4PANEL strip form in unique and beautiful ways, each presenting a collection of new strips in a self-contained section of the book.
In all ways an expansion on its predecessor, the massive 4PANEL 2 anthology demonstrates the ability of individual creators to artistically test the generative nature of the constraint-based 4PANEL template; the wonderful works filling up this book display a range of visual and representational styles, and of visual and narrative structures — and, happily, the resulting sections these seven contributors offer up could not be more different!
Exhibiting Creator: Jonathan Dyck, Hartley Lin, Fiona Smyth Publisher: Popnoir Editions Price: $22 CAD
