			<description>&lt;p&gt;Today&amp;#39;s Online Commentary &amp;amp; Diversions:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;princevaliant&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/5c729724a53e019734e89bb1c35e8722.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Prince Valiant&quot; width=&quot;145&quot; height=&quot;196&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Review: &amp;quot;One of the greatest comic strips of all time and a peak in visual  splendor and breath-taking adventure, the story of &lt;a href=&quot;princevaliant&quot;&gt;Prince Valiant&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39;s 30+  year odyssey is getting a marvelous presentation in Fantagraphics&amp;#39;  series of books, which just reached Volume 4.... What might surprise modern readers is the relative complexity of  Valiant, who grows and matures subtly over the years. The strip is  violent, sexy, serious, droll and above all eye-catching.... The pleasure of how solidly and carefully [these volumes] are made is part of the  pleasure of reading them. You feel like a little kid as you prop the  giant volume up and literally dive into the tale that fills your vision,  much as kids and adults did more than 70 years ago. It&amp;#39;s a worthy  presentation for one of the most important and entertaining works in  comic strip history.&amp;quot; &amp;ndash; Michael Giltz, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-giltz/books-prince-valiants-glo_b_1020078.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Huffington Post&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ronrege.blogspot.com/2011/09/donate.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;images/flog/mike/201109/ubcvrf02.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;The Cartoon Utopia - Ron Reg&amp;eacute; Jr.&quot; width=&quot;194&quot; height=&quot;145&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Interview: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vice.com/read/ron-rege-cartoon-utopia&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Vice&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39;s Liz Armstrong talks with &lt;a href=&quot;index.php?option=com_myblog&amp;amp;category=Ron+Reg%E9+Jr&amp;amp;Itemid=113&quot;&gt;Ron Reg&amp;eacute; Jr.&lt;/a&gt;  about his upcoming book The Cartoon Utopia: &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m not interested in making a bunch of storyboards or writing a script. Comics are the visual representation of language. So comics are the most ancient and the most vital and most important art form that humanity has ever known. It&amp;#39;s also the oldest. Cave paintings, having the form of an image that represents an idea, is what comics are. I wrote an essay called, &amp;#39;Fuck Other Forms of Art.&amp;#39;&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://newbodega.blogspot.com/2008/08/mome-26.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;images/flog/mike/200808/dogman.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Mome Vol. 26 - Kurt Wolfgang&quot; title=&quot;Mome Vol. 26 - Kurt Wolfgang&quot; width=&quot;145&quot; height=&quot;185&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Interview (Audio): &lt;a href=&quot;kurtwolfgang&quot;&gt;Kurt Wolfgang&lt;/a&gt;  is the subject and guest of host Mike Dawson&amp;#39;s latest episode of the &amp;quot;TCJ Talkies&amp;quot; podcast at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tcj.com/kurt-wolfgang/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Comics Journal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;peteyandpussy&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;components/com_virtuemart/show_image_in_imgtag.php?filename=e5d0e74c1ec592047684caa5180b691d.jpg&amp;amp;newxsize=145&amp;amp;newysize=&amp;amp;fileout=&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Petey &amp;amp; Pussy&quot; width=&quot;145&quot; height=&quot;197&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Interview (Audio): Speaking of Mike Dawson-hosted podcasts, &lt;a href=&quot;johnkerschbaum&quot;&gt;John Kerschbaum&lt;/a&gt;  sits in on the new episode of &lt;a href=&quot;http://theinkpanthers.mikedawsoncomics.com/episode-108-jury-duty-raw/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Ink Panthers&lt;/a&gt;  with Dawson and co-host Alex Robinson &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;lrnewstories4&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/2c940a4bbeb2d0a7ce5a89c5806e5b37.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Love and Rockets: New Stories #4&quot; width=&quot;145&quot; height=&quot;179&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Culture: Jeet Heer reports on the Iowa Comics Conference at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tcj.com/iowa-comics-conference-notebook/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Comics Journal&lt;/a&gt;, featuring &lt;a href=&quot;loveandrockets&quot;&gt;the Hernandez Brothers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;joesacco&quot;&gt;Joe Sacco&lt;/a&gt;, Gary Groth and others. On &lt;a href=&quot;lrnewstories4&quot;&gt;the new issue of Love and Rockets: New Stories&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;quot;Everyone, of course, has been raving about Jaime&amp;rsquo;s story in this issue, which like the magnificent &amp;#39;Browntown&amp;#39; in L&amp;amp;R #3  is one of best comics ever done. I&amp;rsquo;ll freely confess that at the end of  the new issue when I saw how Jaime had tied together the fates of  Hopey, Maggie, and Ray I started crying like a baby. ...Gilbert&amp;rsquo;s recent comics have the protean energy and relentless will to reinvention that rivals the Crumb of Weirdo and Hup.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Commentary: &lt;a href=&quot;http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2011/10/quote-of-the-day-2-love-and-rockets-after-death/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Robot 6&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39;s Sean T. Collins spotlights Heer&amp;#39;s article and adds his own thoughts: &amp;quot;The only thing more striking than the fact that Jaime set this  career-defining hurdle for himself is that he freaking cleared it.... It&amp;#39;s worth noting that in his contribution to &lt;a href=&quot;lrnewstories4&quot;&gt;New Stories #4&lt;/a&gt;,  Gilbert takes Fritz to a place of potential finality not unlike the one  that his brother Jaime&amp;#39;s leading players occupy at the end of &amp;#39;The Love  Bunglers.&amp;#39; Yeah, it&amp;rsquo;s really quite a comic.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Analysis: At &lt;a href=&quot;http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2011/10/your-wednesday-sequence-29-jaime-hernandez/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Robot 6&lt;/a&gt;, Matt Seneca examines page 89, by &lt;a href=&quot;jaimehernandez&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Jaime Hernandez&lt;/a&gt;, from &lt;a href=&quot;lrnewstories4&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Love and Rockets: New Stories #4&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;quot;It&amp;rsquo;s a wonderful meeting of form and content: a completely unified page  on the subject of unification, a single unit made up of eight perfectly  chosen, gorgeously cartooned panels, each one complete in itself as a  composed single drawings.&amp;nbsp; This is comics at the highest level, with  nothing wasted and everything on the page done as well as it possibly  could be.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;giljordan1&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/4c759250d699b5be1af99a775bd80161.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Gil Jordan, Private Detective: Murder by High Tide&quot; width=&quot;145&quot; height=&quot;191&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Plug: Kim Thompson points out that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.actuabd.com/Francfort-2011-les-editeurs&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ActuaBD&lt;/a&gt;  &amp;quot;referred to our &lt;a href=&quot;giljordan1&quot;&gt;Gil Jordan&lt;/a&gt;  edition as &amp;#39;tr&amp;egrave;s beau,&amp;#39; which is nice.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title>MOME 22 Preview: Kurt Wolfgang</title>
			<link>http://www.fantagraphics.com/index.php?option=com_myblog&amp;amp;show=MOME-22-Preview-Kurt-Wolfgang.html&amp;amp;Itemid=113</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;images/flog/67/MOME22sally.jpg&quot; alt=&quot; &quot; width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;579&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At Comic-Con in July, we&amp;#39;ll be debuting the 22nd and final volume of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;index.php?option=com_virtuemart&amp;amp;page=shop.browse&amp;amp;category_id=152&amp;amp;Itemid=62&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;MOME&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(that&amp;#39;s one-half of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;index.php?option=com_virtuemart&amp;amp;page=shop.browse&amp;amp;category_id=452&amp;amp;Itemid=62&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Zak Sally&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39;s beautifully elegant wraparound cover of the issue, above). It&amp;#39;s a bittersweet thing for me, but I couldn&amp;#39;t be happier about how the last issue -- at 240 pages, about twice as long as any previous issue -- turned out, so when Mike Baehr suggested I do something for Flog about it, it seemed like a no-brainer. And when I decided the best way to do so would be to post some teaser images from the issue, it took me about half a second to realize where to start:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;index.php?option=com_virtuemart&amp;amp;page=shop.browse&amp;amp;category_id=515&amp;amp;Itemid=62&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kurt Wolfgang&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kurt has been essentially the one constant in MOME from the very first issue (along with myself, I guess), and his main contribution, the ongoing &amp;quot;Nothing Eve,&amp;quot; is pretty much the standard-bearer of the kind of work that MOME was specifically designed to midwife into the world, and one of the things I&amp;#39;m most proud to have published in its pages. The simple, dramatic idea behind it -- If you knew the world was ending tomorrow, how would you spend your last night? -- is really just a launching point for what is essentially a charmingly funny and character-driven piece about the way people relate to each other. Kurt resists melodrama every step of the way, and the work is so much better for it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, more than just about any other serial I can ever remember reading in an anthology, &amp;quot;Nothing Eve&amp;quot; functioned perfectly as a serial. In addition to crafting a completely hilarious and compelling graphic novel, Kurt has an innate knack for breaking his story down into compelling chapters that function on their own. You could easily enjoy any chapter of &amp;quot;Nothing Eve&amp;quot; without ever having read another. That&amp;#39;s not an easy feat, and regular MOME readers were given a better experience for it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bad news is that MOME is ending before &amp;quot;Nothing Eve&amp;quot; ends. The good news, however, is that when &amp;quot;Nothing Eve&amp;quot; is eventually published, it will be that much more satisfying a read. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best news is that Kurt prepared an alternative, &amp;quot;final&amp;quot; chapter for MOME 22 that is just about my favorite thing I&amp;#39;ve ever published in MOME. So for those of you who&amp;#39;ve been following &amp;quot;Nothing Eve&amp;quot; since the beginning, you&amp;#39;re going to be rewarded with something truly special that won&amp;#39;t end up in the eventual collection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m very reluctant to tip my hand any further, but let&amp;#39;s just say, it&amp;#39;s right about with this four-panel sequence that shit starts to get unreal:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;images/flog/67/nothingeve08.jpg&quot; alt=&quot; &quot; width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;329&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can&amp;#39;t even begin to guess where things go from here, but trust me in that I promise you won&amp;#39;t be disappointed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

CR&amp;#39;s Tom Spurgeon commented and spoke to Mome editor Eric Reynolds about ending the long-running anthology; Rob Clough talked to Eric at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tcj.com/guest-blog-eric-reynolds-on-the-end-of-mome/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;TCJ.com&lt;/a&gt;; and Sean T. Collins comments at &lt;a href=&quot;http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2011/04/fantagraphics-mome-anthology-ends-this-summer-with-vol-22/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Robot 6&lt;/a&gt;. We thank the three of them and everyone else who has been a proponent of the series. I for one will miss the publication and abhor the vacuum its departure will leave, but look forward to Eric&amp;#39;s future editorial efforts and future work from Mome&amp;#39;s long list of contributors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pictured above, a Mome pinup created for the issue by &lt;a href=&quot;sergioponchione&quot;&gt;Sergio Ponchione&lt;/a&gt;; below, artwork from the final issue recently posted by the contributors: from &lt;a href=&quot;timlane&quot;&gt;Tim Lane&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;Belly Gunner&amp;quot; (see additional pages at his &lt;a href=&quot;http://jackienoname.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/belly-gunner-continued/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Jackie No-Name&lt;/a&gt;  blog); from &lt;a href=&quot;kurtwolfgang&quot;&gt;Kurt Wolfgang&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;Nothing Eve&amp;quot; (taken from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://newbodega.blogspot.com/2011/04/even-more.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;New Bodega&lt;/a&gt;  blog); from &lt;a href=&quot;derekvangieson&quot;&gt;Derek Van Gieson&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;Devil Doll&amp;quot; (see more pages and read his comments on his history with Mome at his &lt;a href=&quot;http://derekvangieson.blogspot.com/2011/04/end-of-mome.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;These Days I Remain&lt;/a&gt;  blog); from &lt;a href=&quot;nateneal&quot;&gt;Nate Neal&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;Death&amp;quot; (taken from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/nateneal/5615009680/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;his Flickr feed&lt;/a&gt;); pages in progress from &lt;a href=&quot;laurapark&quot;&gt;Laura Park&lt;/a&gt; (taken from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/featherbed/5580666833/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;her Flickr feed&lt;/a&gt;); and from &lt;a href=&quot;tedwardbak&quot;&gt;T.

			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;images/flog/67/HIGHWATERSHOWFLAT.jpg&quot; alt=&quot; &quot; width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Right Thing the Wrong Way: The Story of Highwater Books&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;October 1st-October 24th&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opening Reception October 1st 6-9pm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth Wall Project&lt;br /&gt;132 Brookline Ave&lt;br /&gt;Boston, MA 02215   &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;For seven years (and one miscounted eighth anniversary party) Highwater Books was snobby, high-concept, iconoclastic, poorly-business modeled publishing company that ran itself into the ground. Highwater published books late, promised them and never published them at all and even withheld its books from distributors on principle. The company asked its artists to fold mini-comics and stand behind convention tables and sell their wares to a public that did not know what to make of them. It hatched plans, plots and schemes, and it may have been the most important comic publisher of the early part of the century. Over those seven or so years, Highwater elevated the concept of design in the comics world; It emphasized independent and DIY attitudes in an increasingly corporate society, and it published some of the most important artists in comics. In October, Fourth Wall Project celebrates Highwater and a selection of its artists with a group art exhibition: Right Thing the Wrong Way: The Story of Highwater Books.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Starting with the opening party on October 1st and on view for three weeks, Right Thing the Wrong Way will display new and archival works by the artists central to Highwater Books: Brian Ralph, Greg Cook, Jef Czekaj,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;index.php?option=com_virtuemart&amp;amp;page=shop.browse&amp;amp;category_id=322&amp;amp;Itemid=62&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Jordan Crane&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;index.php?option=com_virtuemart&amp;amp;page=shop.browse&amp;amp;category_id=515&amp;amp;Itemid=62&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kurt Wolfgang&lt;/a&gt;, Marc Bell,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;index.php?option=com_virtuemart&amp;amp;page=shop.browse&amp;amp;category_id=319&amp;amp;Itemid=62&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Megan Kelso&lt;/a&gt;, and Ron Rege. Along with the artists work, there will be an installation celebrating the strange history of the company. The organizers (TD Sidell, Emily Arkin, Brooke Corey, Jef Czekaj, and Greg Cook) will construct a mini-museum within the gallery, displaying ephemera (both finished and unfinished), half formed concept pieces, and plain old junk that made Highwater special. In lieu of a traditional catalog the organizers, in conjunction with Bodega Distribution, have put together an oral history of the company that will manifest in a short-run publication (natch!) for the show. Compiled and edited by Highwater artist and Phoenix art critic Greg Cook, the oral history will act as a companion to the show with the artists and &amp;quot;employees&amp;quot; of Highwater telling the story themselves.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The Morally Questionable Cartoons of Ivan Brunetti&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;quot;...[I]f the material printed Ho! had been created in, say, Soviet Russia, Ivan would be the biggest star in the gulag. As it is, he&amp;rsquo;s one of the most twisted and funny motherfuckers putting pen to paper right in the U.S. of A. And I&amp;rsquo;m damned proud he&amp;rsquo;s one of us... Brunetti&amp;rsquo;s latest work is as strong as ever, and maybe even sicker. He&amp;rsquo;s an amazing cartoonist, and I respect his work immensely, even when some of it makes me queasy&amp;hellip; especially if it makes me laugh then feel queasy.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Review: &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.ebay.com/make_it_so_marketing/entry/A-Mess-Of-Everything/_W0QQidZ777621011&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Make It So Marketing&amp;#39;s Comics And Pop Culture Blog&lt;/a&gt;  finds &lt;a href=&quot;amessofeverything&quot;&gt;A Mess of Everything&lt;/a&gt;  by Miss Lasko-Gross to be &amp;quot;an interesting read, and the art style that Miss Lasko-Gross uses is one that actually grabs me the more I read into the graphic novel...
