Henry Chamberlain reviews Ghost Comics at Newsarama.
Rick Bradford reviewed The Love Song of Kermit the Frog awhile back on Poopsheet.
There's so much I want to write about and so little time. I go to Vienna and Prague for 10 days tomorrow. I'll try to write more after my trip.
MoCCA was stressful and great. Highlights were seeing this guy for the first time since I was 17, saying hello to Ghost Comics contributors Corinne Mucha and Lucy Knisley, seeing Seth in his daily costume, tabling and hanging with my friends, and perhaps best of all, David Mazzuchelli's show at the MoCCA Museum (see the show! Up til August 23!) along with meeting the man and getting ahold of the best book of the year (yes, I know it's June), Asterios Polyp.
The capper to a crazy weekend was a day with Sean and Mako selling Sean & I's comics to Forbidden Planet (which was particularly a pleasure because FP's buyer ) and Jim Hanley's Universe, and Mako meeting a ukelele player and getting an impromptu lesson in a park. I also introduced the one Midwesterner and the one Japanese to the New York treat of Mr. Softee.
And then, a friend alerted me to a free David Byrne show in Prospect Park in Brooklyn. See a review here. I wasn't even in the actual show area (due to a crowd of thousands more than could be fit), but in an outside area in front of a screen and speakers. Amazingly, this seemed as good as being there. It must be the magic of the man and his backup performers. Being in the front row in front of a screen somehow had as much good vibes and dancing folks as any great show I've been to (and more space). And I smelled more weed smoke than I've EVER SMELLED IN MY LIFE. Apparently Brooklynites like to party. Thanks David Byrne, and thanks Brooklyn.
