Shameless self promotion department:

1. I was just beginning to wonder why Eric Reynolds and the Fantagraphics gang weren’t putting up any new posts on the FLOG! blog, and now I know: it’s because they switched their online location. Bookmark it here.

2. An anonymous commenter to our last post pointed out a pretty interesting new interview with Bill Sienkiewicz.

3. Another (!) interview with Frank, this time including a glimpse into PictureBox:

Part One

Part Two

[Not that it matters, but I edited this to change the order of the items; it seemed weird to put so much video up top.]

Frank’s energy these days is starting to make the rest of us here at Comics Comics look bad, so I’m kind of pissed at him, but if you want more of Frank on art and comics (including Storeyville and Cold Heat), Chris Mautner has just posted the second part of his interview with him today. Frank’s really on fire in this one.

(And here’s part one if you missed it.)

Numerous Comics Comics contributors have wound up on Top 10 lists, and here‘s an unusually nice mention of project close to Frank’s inky heart: the Cold Heat Special, co-created by Jon Vermilyea.

The mighty Tom Spurgeon interviewed me for Comics Reporter. It’s a pretty awesome interview and covers ground not discussed in the equally awesome Inkstuds radio interview I did recently. Please check it out here.

To the right is an old Sirk zine of mine from ’93.

I can not wait to see what Dada poet/standup comic/Internet legend/funny-book reviewer Abhay Khosla is going to say about Cold Heat. Even if he hates it, this will be awesome.
