Thomas Mallory’s “the Boy’s King Arthur” was reprinted by Charles Scribner’s Sons around 1919 with illustrations by N.C. Wyeth.

from the top, that is the original cover artwork, the published version thereof, the inside cover artwork, and the frontispiece.

I spent 16 months in Utah. Near SLC. The main impression I got was a sort of faux Truman Show.

They’re nice people. Weirdly, overly nice. Family game nights. Super friendly. Swearing is funny bc they prefer not to, so things like “what the crap?” are said with the same inflection and meaning as the usual version.

Youthful rebellion there is… odd. Picture a subculture of kids that dress like the Warriors from the movie the Warriors. Like an ‘80s movie version of what bad boys and girls dress like.

It’s a dry STATE. Skiing is a big part of the culture, and therefore bars. But you can’t order a beer in Utah without ordering food. And all booze is expensive, so there are a bunch of liquor stores just over the state line in every direction.

My wife and I like renovation shows on Discovery channel. The ones that take place in Utah have been… odd.

Aries Spears, the comedian, wore a shirt on a YouTube thing that said “Utah is white people’s Africa” and he’s not wrong.

i am increasingly convinced that the wedding industry is having a statistically significant impact on young women leaving the mormon church. has anyone looked into this?

I love Liz Climo’s comics.

The thing that I’ve noticed about leftist antisemites is that they will spout the same ridiculous bullshit conspiracy theories that right wing antisemites do, like ZOG, but wrap it up in thinly veiled woke language. And when an actual Jewish person (or anyone who’s educated on antisemitism) comes along and calls them out on it, they will get so furious, like a sense of entitlement. It’s almost like “how DARE you call ME, a leftist, an antisemite?! Don’t you know that leftists by definition are righteous saviors of the oppressed?!” It’s especially insidious because they will be repackaging the Protocols and insist that they aren’t antisemitic, just “criticizing Israel.” At least right wing antisemites will tell us up front that they want us all dead. Leftists spout the same exact shit but disguise it as social justice.

It’s almost like “National Socialism” has a precedent. Whodathunkit?

Even as a splash page, JRJR laid it out so the story is told left to right. Each bit of dialogue reads from left to right, top to bottom. That’s not Joe Rosen’s doing, that’s JRJR placing each character correctly on the page.

He did a YouTube interview a while back explaining his script breakdown process, and the first thing he said he considers is who is talking to who, and which way they are facing. He is a master storyteller because he fundamentally focuses on using his artwork to tell the story.

The owner of the original line art shared it on the BWS facebook fan page.

“the Cup of Giving”, by Barry Windsor-Smith.

I purchased the signed print from Barry through his website. My wife picked out the matte and the frame, and we are giving it to her Mother for Christmas.

They feel like rubbing a wet boot. Very very cute, but it feels like rubbing a wet rain boot. Not kidding, not discounting. That’s the analogous feeling. One of those boots that kids wear in the rain and use to jump in puddles. It’s smooth, but not perfectly. It’s like a weirdly smooth but uneven and wet texture.

I have run out of superlatives for JRJR, Al Williamson, and Christie Scheele. Their solo careers alone are spectacular. Their collaborative works are amongst the best ever put to print.
