As someone who grew up with dumb Arthurian takes (see ‘King Arthur and the Knights of Justice’), ‘Rampant Swine’ (and this Q&A) are the best kinda kick in the teeth.
Hey, still fun.
Peep my Halloween profile update. So sick.
I just finished S3, and Hot Rod really steps up his game as TV’s biggest jerk. A love-disdain potion that sets my teeth on edge — true thespian wonder.
The ‘Minotaur’ love continues with a genuinely magical third issue — where ish hits the fan but also hope blooms like a flower on a trash hill.
This was fun to write. Fun to edit. And fun to put out. FUN FOR HALLOWEEN!
What an incredible review, thank you for reading @chriscoplan.bsky.social !!
Always a treat to talk to Si about anything. ‘Minotaur’ is such a great book, and it’s one that speaks to our moment and still does so many other wonderful things. Big things percolating after this debut arc.
I work with C-Suite executives in rewriting their resumes. When we’ve had someone dips on us for long enough (a few days, even), I’ve been informed to flat out send their resumes exactly as-is. As a HS English once told us, “Communication is kindness.”
This week’s theme is, “Am I the monster or is that maybe more god’s domain?”
It's been one year in a world without Gorp. (And in case you hadn't been able to tell, the world is much bleaker for his absence.) If you've got a big/small, dumb/smart precious angel, please smother them in kisses for me.
I think something like this feels extra unsettling. As if the CO market/approach/whatever needed more holes shot in its hide.
Great thread. I will add that all of this comes at a time when I think creators are genuinely taking huge swings creatively (and landing more often than not — even failures feel vital), which makes these developments all the more depressing and confounding.
Baker and Ward are the surf and turf of indie comics weirdo magic.
Starting October off right with a little Scream! action.
Dave is the Earth and we’re all the little squirrels traipsing around on his surface. HBD.
Now I’m curious about who the (very distant) second might be.
