“Incentivize the People and Monetize Shit”

Yes, that’s right, we’re all about that. And etc. Frank gets really mad when I post promotional stuff here, which makes me want to do it even more. Anyhow, I can do whatever I want now because Frank is in Roanoke, VA helping Gary Panter paint a giant mural in a museum. He’s probably only thinking about comics 90% of the time, as opposed to his usual 99.9999%. Phew. Anyhow, I will include some non-promo shit here in the form of promised commentary on recent additions to my nightstand: Captain America: America First, Madman #12, Little Orphan Annie Vol. 1, Bat-Manga, and some other stuff I can’t remember right now. Why do I keep returning to Chaykin to such diminished returns? I dunno. I’m sure it has something to do with that damn photoshop he uses so well — weilding it like a blunt instrument. Anyhow, the real reason for this post is to announce to all you art buying types that, for (almost) the first time ever, C.F. is selling some comics pages. It’s the complete story from The Ganzfeld 4, later reprinted in Chris Ware’s edition of Best American Comics. The pages are here. Email to reserve them. Go get ’em.

Thats right, I’m in this ghost town of Virginia killing some museum walls with the master.
Write something resembling “criticism”, you lazy mo-fo!
How is any town with less than 250,000 people in it between the coasts not “Frank Santoro Buys Old Comic Books Out Of Quarter Bins All Day” Fun Town?
I know, I know, but Gars Panter has me slave-ing away, no time yet to go find any old 80s comics, sigh.
Hey Dan, What did you think of the Orphan Annie book. Inquiring minds want to know. Jeet
