APE memories, Saturday edition
Brett Warnock makes a mean margarita. Believe me, I had about four. They made me feel good, just like the comics he publish does (well, maybe not >just like).
A friend of mine pointed out the prevalence of fetus-themed comics this year. What can I say; when you need something cuter than a baby you just have to go younger.
Conventions are a great way to have a ten minute conversation with someone you like and probably won't see again for a year. Every person I spoke to is a Hell lot smarter about comics than I am so I made sure to spend these precious moments listening. That is, when I'm not giving people compliments. The life of an artist is lonely and they need to hear this stuff.
I think the big appeal, for me at least, when it comes to Corey Lewis's comics is that he seems more like someone who should sing for a well-hyped British indie band than a cartoonist. But gosh darn it he makes comics instead of giving Peter Doherty a run for his money and for that we should all be thankful.
Being recognized for this blog, as I was when I met Serene and Dylan from Successless, is an experience that combines joy with terror. I feel I should thank them and then offer a million apologies.
The big discussion amongst friends was the proper use of the word "fetching,” mostly whether the word could be used ironically or not. I could tell you what major upcoming graphic novel inspired this debate but then I would be in trouble. Not with the publisher, more in terms of my guilt and conscience.
