Time Flies

There’s an extensive and entertaining new interview with Benjamin Marra on the computers right now. It feels like only yesterday that I dug the first xeroxed issue of Night Business out of my bag of SPX junk, and read it in astonishment, wondering if Marra was a genyuwine idiot. Turns out he’s not! I’m surprised Paul Gulacy never came up, though… Come on, Ben! You used to admit it. Instead you name Piero della Francesca? Really? Just joking around, of course. All CC readers already know about Night Business. Fun stuff. I’m getting a little punchy lately.

Which brings me to this sorry strategy: I’ve bought and read some new comics worth reviewing recently and I’m just going to announce it online now so I won’t be able to talk myself out of writing about them later. And some seriously provocative “think pieces.” (Actually, I don’t have any of those in mind, but it shouldn’t be too hard to fake.) Really, I would most like to just get a good Cage Match going, but don’t think I’ll be able to dodge crying babies long enough for an all-day event any time soon.

(Note to self: Maybe the others can be shamed into doing one without me. Yeah, this time, I’ll play the Dan role…)

    You're right, Tim, for chastising me for leaving out Gulacy, who has been a prime influence on me for many years. I cannot overstress it. After I shared a drawing I did for Rolling Stone with him, Paul told me to "Keep the Fire." I promptly had that phrase tattooed on my arm. People think I'm a big Kenny Loggins fan now.

    And now you have the nerve to deny Loggins?! How many more will you betray?

    Dude … I listen to Heavy Metal.

    as long as frank is involved the cage match it doesnt matter who else shows up.

    actually, can there be an all frank cage match? you know, kind of trim off the fat. just have him debate himself. I feel like we could all learn from that.

    If you all have a cage match, will Jeet Heer be involved?
