New stuff I’ve been reading
“KRAMERS VOL. 9”
This was my most anticipated release for 2016. And I read it immediately after I bought it and never stopped reading it once even to refill my coffee. The best comics were the ones by Corbera, Westvind, and Antoine Cosse. Specifically Cosse’s comic surprised me with it’s exhilarating blaze-of-glory self annihilation analogized to a squashed bug on a windshield, which is an inverted take on a life a meaningless type of story that’s both funny and poetic.
Vol. 9 was more fun to read than Vol. 8, but I would have liked another trolling essay by Kill Rock Start comp artist and renowned trumpet player, Ian Svenonius. If he was unavailable maybe they could have got somebody from Witchypoo.

Monday Suicide II
By Gabriel Corbera
Spaceface Books
2013
Rife with absurdist humor, Gabriel Corbera’s comics invite the reader to follow an unnamed bespectacled man through a wasteland crawling with weird monsters and reflective musings. The strength in Corbera’s work relies on the surface simplicity of his gags. His protagonist is equal parts armchair philosopher (image 5), skilled fighter (image 9), and lost soul as he wanders his environment as perhaps the lone source of intelligence. Both comics hinge on searching for meaning in barren surroundings along with the anonymous lead.
Corbera’s visual language exhibits slight influences of Yuichi Yokoyama, but is more related to Sakichi Sato, especially with his attitude toward violence and droll humor. Cliched computer graphics also creep into the imagery - gradient halftones stiffly share space with inky figures and standard fonts remind you of DIY manga scanlations. Even the protagonist looks like he was born from minimalist Illustrator aesthetics. Another plus is how fluid Corbera renders subtle movements (smoking), action sequences, and contemplative monologues. It all adds up to a strange, but rewarding, experience that investigates and addresses the complex behaviors of solitary choices.

By far the best comment I’ve read on MS so far! Thanks so much for your words, dude! 8O)

I was going to just hit the share button after reading this article, but it seemed better if I did a drawing to go with it! Please do read this article if you like this pic, it explains why david cameron burnt money in front of homeless people, and how the people who run our country are part of a frightening shame/control system: http://theleveller.org/2015/09/british-really-laughing/
