It’s my duty, both as publisher and “critic” to call your attention to a new mini comic by up and coming young cartoonist Gary Panter. This is Gary’s first new Jimbo story in years and it’s a complete masterpiece, distilling both the abstractions of his recent paintings and his gag-strip timing into one truly awesome comic. It is, along with the new Acme Novelty Library<\/a>, my favorite damn comic in months. It actually made me like comics again. And again. Conveniently, it’s only for sale at the PictureBox site<\/a>. Get it now. It’s just fucking astoundingly good. Other favorite recent comics reading: Bottomless Bellybutton <\/a>and Ranxerox<\/a> vol. 1-3. Oh, and geez, I re-read Travel<\/a> last night. It’s better than I remembered, and I published it! Try reading the commentary one page at a time. It’ll do things to you. Also, how come no one is violently offended by Monster Men<\/a>? Are you people out there finding it in stores? I love it for its often brilliant writing, pacing, and matter-of-fact sexual horror. But that’s just me. Ok, see ya!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
