    Welcome back to the latest Comics That Challenged Me in 2015 piece. I generally don’t make New Year’s Resolutions. I don’t see a lot of value to them, generally speaking. But with the recent controversies with the Angouleme Grand Prix, I was thinking about talented women cartoonists, and decided to make a resolution. My resolution…

  • Transmissions from: SPX 2015

    It’s a week out from SPX 2015 and I’ve had a chance to compile my thoughts from last weekend’s show. Overall, I had a wonderful time, probably the best time I’ve had at a comics show yet. Having a majority of the people you are interacting with staying at the same place is pretty unique…
