He declined to print &amp;Eacute;mile Bravo&amp;#39;s illustrated comment, which appears here instead. ACC poked fun at Bravo&amp;#39;s tendency to sing jingles and tell bad jokes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;HE JUST DOESN&amp;#39;T REALIZE!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Panel 1:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bravo: Funny how some readers are so fascinated with Lewis.&lt;br /&gt;Fan #1: Hey! I&amp;#39;ve got every Trondheim and I bought the deluxe print run of McCONEY.&lt;br /&gt;Fan #2: When&amp;#39;s the next comic?&lt;br /&gt;Fan #3: And how is Brigitte doing?&lt;br /&gt;Fan #4: And... And...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Panel 2:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bravo: Wow... They really want to be part of his family...&lt;br /&gt;Bravo: ...But Lewis is merciless...&lt;br /&gt;Lewis: That&amp;#39;s all well and good, but I think what you really need to buy is a brain!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Panel 3:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bravo: So they come and take revenge on innocent supporting characters.&lt;br /&gt;Fan #1: Oh, are you the &amp;Eacute;mile that sings that &amp;quot;Casto&amp;quot; jingle?&lt;br /&gt;Bravo: Ha! Ha! Yes indeed... (etc.)&lt;br /&gt;Fan #2: Ha! Ha! Do you know the one for Mousseline Pur&amp;eacute;e, too?&lt;br /&gt;Fan #3: What about the joke? What&amp;#39;s the punchline?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Panel 4:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bravo: Oh jeez! Entering into the public arena carries with it responsibility, and a hell of a lot of power!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Caption:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anyway... Lewis completed his move to the South of France today... We are no longer part of his immediate entourage. I can say whatever I want at the studio and not worry about ending up playing the fool in a comic book.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Small image:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Free at last!&lt;br /&gt;YAAAHOOOOOO...&lt;br /&gt;I don&amp;#39;t give a shit about anything!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Panel 5:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bravo: Anyway... Aside from these little disputes, it of course goes without saying that I&amp;#39;m proud as all get-out to be part of this brilliant cartoonist&amp;#39;s most profound opus...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Panel 6:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;His psychiatric treatment.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Panel 7:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even if...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Panel 8:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A panda? I mean, c&amp;#39;mon...&lt;/p&gt;</description>

But by the time a frog demon  reanimates  a 19th-century French peasant whose brains it has eaten, it&amp;rsquo;s  fairly  clear that Deitch is making stuff up. The fun of [&lt;a href=&quot;smilined&quot;&gt;The Search for Smilin&amp;#39; Ed&lt;/a&gt;] is the  way it  constantly darts back and forth across the line between genuine   show-business lore (a favorite Deitch theme) and delirious whole-cloth   invention. ...   Deitch&amp;rsquo;s artwork... is...  utterly confident, building on the stylistic gestures of both the   underground-comics scene that launched his career and the classic   animation that inspired his talking-animal characters.&amp;quot; &amp;ndash; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/book-news/comics/article/44126-comics-reviews-8-9-10-.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Publishers Weekly&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;portablefrank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;components/com_virtuemart/show_image_in_imgtag.php?filename=fc5ba7630b4b7c222cbb97bb3013fd3b.jpg&amp;amp;newxsize=145&amp;amp;newysize=&amp;amp;fileout=&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;The Portable Frank [with FREE Signed Bookplate]&quot; title=&quot;The Portable Frank [with FREE Signed Bookplate]&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Review: &amp;quot;Some of the best comics of the last couple of decades are Jim Woodring&amp;rsquo;s wordless Frank  stories. Dreamlike, idyllic and mind bendingly horrific visions are  rendered with immaculate penwork and pacing. This tidy, near 200 page  collection of black and white stories [&lt;a href=&quot;portablefrank&quot;&gt;The Portable Frank&lt;/a&gt;] is sufficient to put a permanent  dent in your brain pan.&amp;quot; &amp;ndash; M.

I do enjoy these early years of the kat kronikles &amp;mdash; a  bit more lyrical, a bit more varied, a bit less centered on the  kat/mouse/cop routine. Yes, you need it.

			<description>&lt;p&gt;Our official Comic-Con PR announcement is coming next week, but &lt;a href=&quot;http://comic-con.org/cci/cci10_prog_fri.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Comic-Con just announced the Friday (July 23) line-up&lt;/a&gt;  and we couldn&amp;#39;t wait to share the Fantagraphics-related bounty with you:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10:00-11:00 	Publishing Comics&amp;mdash; 	 Four publishers&amp;mdash;Matt Gagnon (BOOM!), Gary Groth  (Fantagraphics), Dallas Middaugh (Del Rey Manga), and Mark  Siegel (First Second Books) -- each from a different part of the  comics industry, discuss what&amp;#39;s involved in running a publishing company  and in creating and fostering a unique comics ideology. Moderated by Graeme  McMillan (Techland).   	Room&amp;nbsp;8&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;images/flog/artistthumbs/motohagio.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Moto Hagio&quot; width=&quot;120&quot; height=&quot;153&quot; /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10:30-11:30 	Spotlight on &lt;a href=&quot;motohagio&quot;&gt;Moto Hagio&lt;/a&gt;&amp;mdash; 	   Comic-Con special guest Moto Hagio  is considered to be the mother of sh&amp;#333;jo (young girl) manga. Her large  body of work is renowned the world over, and Fantagraphics Books is  publishing a new collection of her short stories, Drunken Dreams. Celebrate  her first-ever visit to the U.S. at this special Q&amp;amp;A session,  moderated by Matt Thorn, associate professor in the department of  manga production at Kyoto Seika University in Japan.

Fantagraphics publisher Gary Groth interviews  Tyler about her work.     	Room&amp;nbsp;4 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2:00-3:00 	Graphic Novels: The Personal Touch&amp;mdash; 	 You know when you read it: that certain something that sticks out in a  graphic novel. It&amp;#39;s the personal touch, a work that draws on the life of  the creator or the people around him or her. Call the work  autobiographical, call it reality&amp;mdash;many times it results in truly  personal and inspiring comics. Comics creator and journalist Shaenon  Garrity (Narbonic, Skin Horse) talks to Comic-Con special  guests &lt;a href=&quot;gabriellebell&quot;&gt;Gabrielle  Bell&lt;/a&gt; (Cecil &amp;amp; Jordan in New York), Howard Cruse  (Stuck Rubber Baby), Vanessa Davis  (Make Me a Woman), Larry Marder  (Beanworld), Jillian Tamaki  (Skim), and &lt;a href=&quot;ctyler&quot;&gt;C.

Nearly 60 years later, Peanuts  appears in over 2,200 newspapers, in 75 countries and 21 languages.

			<description>&lt;p&gt;October, when kingdoms rise, and kingdoms fall, but Online Commentary &amp;amp; Diversions goes on and on:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Review: &amp;quot;If the world of alt-comics feels appealing but intimidatingly vast (what doesn&amp;rsquo;t these days), &lt;a href=&quot;mome&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;MOME&lt;/a&gt; is the perfect place to start. ... The volume is thick, slick and printed in what looks like Technicolor. An anthology is only as good as the sensibilities of those who compile it, of course, so it&amp;rsquo;s worth noting that a subscription of MOME equals four issues per year of work culled from the depths by an outfit that not only has keen vision in such matters, but also a stake in finding the very best. What&amp;rsquo;s not to trust?&amp;quot; &amp;ndash; Molly Young, &lt;a href=&quot;http://weloveyouso.com/2009/10/mome/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;We Love You So&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Review: &amp;quot;...[&lt;a href=&quot;locas2&quot;&gt;Locas II&lt;/a&gt;,] the latest collected chunk of the (mis)adventures of locas Maggie and Hopey (and the occasional &amp;#39;loco,&amp;#39; like Ray, the consort of sexy Frogmouth -- does it seem like a good soap opera yet? -- and their sprawling, recurring cast of compelling, sometimes hard-to-figure supporting characters) all brought me squarely back to Los Angeles. In the 80s. ... But returning to L&amp;amp;R, even sporadically, isn&amp;#39;t simply an exercise in nostalgia. ...[W]hat&amp;#39;s ultimately compelling about the L&amp;amp;R saga is the way the characters change over the years. ... So it&amp;#39;s not just a [madeleine] cookie from our past, but something still fairly warm from the oven.&amp;quot; &amp;ndash; Mark London Williams, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sfsite.com/columns/graphica304.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The SF Site: Nexus Graphica&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Review: &amp;quot;There is such a relentlessly fervid, even crazed, sheen to all [&lt;a href=&quot;fletcherhanks&quot;&gt;Fletcher Hanks&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39;s] work, that you can&amp;#39;t look away. ... Hanks seemed nearly demon-driven in these stories of constant fighting, killing, betrayal and revenge. The panels are often cramped, and the color schemes are nearly incandescent, and you&amp;#39;re not sure whether to liken the rawness of it all -- elastic, rubber-boned physiognomies included -- to listening to a record by Fear, circa 1980, or watching a half-dressed man shouting on the corner.&amp;quot; &amp;ndash; Mark London Williams, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sfsite.com/columns/graphica304.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The SF Site: Nexus Graphica&lt;/a&gt; (same link as above) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Review: &amp;quot;Tardi&amp;#39;s intricate, cartoony, and beautiful art perfectly expresses Forest&amp;#39;s ideas and words. The humorous &lt;a href=&quot;youarethere&quot;&gt;You Are There&lt;/a&gt;  masterfully satirizes French society and politics unlike any comic before or since.&amp;quot; &amp;ndash; Rick Klaw, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sfsite.com/columns/graphica305.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The SF Site: Nexus Graphica&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Plug: &amp;quot;It always amazes me how [Kevin] Huizenga can take everyday moments, like, in [&lt;a href=&quot;ganges&quot;&gt;Ganges&lt;/a&gt;  #3], trying to get to sleep, and turn them into extravagant, elaborate displays of cartooning genius.&amp;quot; &amp;ndash; Chris Mautner, &lt;a href=&quot;http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2009/10/what-i-bought-at-spx/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Robot 6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Interview: At &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.comicbookgalaxy.com/troublewithcomics/2009/10/five-questions-for-eric-reynolds.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Comic Book Galaxy&lt;/a&gt;, Alan David Doane poses 5 questions to our favorite Associate Publisher, Eric Reynolds &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Profile: &amp;quot;Comics creator Hans Rickheit&amp;#39;s new graphic novel, &lt;a href=&quot;squirrelmachine&quot;&gt;The Squirrel Machine&lt;/a&gt;, is a stylish and surreal tale of brothers dabbling in the forbidden unknown. ... He lives in Philadelphia, but his work pulls from the style and antiquity of 19th Century New England. &amp;#39;The objects, places, and people from that time period in New England grabbed my imagination,&amp;quot; Rickheit says. &amp;#39;I find them visually more interesting than modern trappings, modern buildings. And they&amp;#39;re more fun to draw, because they&amp;#39;re just so ornate.&amp;#39;&amp;quot; &amp;ndash; John Seven, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worcestermagazine.com/content/view/4608/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Worcester Magazine&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Profile: &lt;a href=&quot;http://nuvoid.blogspot.com/2009/09/little-enid-coleslaw.html&quot;&gt;Rodger Coleman&lt;/a&gt;, inspired by his Little Enid Coleslaw doll from Presspop, waxes appreciative of &lt;a href=&quot;danielclowes&quot;&gt;Dan Clowes&lt;/a&gt;, Eightball &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;ghostworldse&quot;&gt;Ghost World&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.transatlantis.net/blog/archives/2009/09/million_year_bo.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;On his blog&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;tomkaczynski&quot;&gt;Tom Kaczynski&lt;/a&gt;  takes note of the inclusion of his story &amp;quot;Million Year Boom&amp;quot; from &lt;a href=&quot;mome11&quot;&gt;Mome Vol. 11&lt;/a&gt;  in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hmhbooks.com/catalog/titledetail.cfm?titleNumber=1099043&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2009&lt;/a&gt;  (along with Mome stories by &lt;a href=&quot;olivierschrauwen&quot;&gt;Olivier Schrauwen&lt;/a&gt;  and &lt;a href=&quot;emilebravo&quot;&gt;&amp;Eacute;mile Bravo&lt;/a&gt;  &amp;mdash; don&amp;#39;t tell anyone, but they ain&amp;#39;t American)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Things to see: &lt;a href=&quot;noahvansciver&quot;&gt;Noah Van Sciver&lt;/a&gt;  pens a strip about his trip to SPX with John Porcellino for &lt;a href=&quot;http://pwbeat.publishersweekly.com/blog/2009/10/01/cartoonists-on-the-road-porcellino-and-van-sciver/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Beat&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;</description>
