TweetOk, so the title’s a bit dubious, but I thought it’d be nice to have a feature where we look at 3 comics, the criteria being that these are either older books I’ve missed, or smaller, self published work. To kick things off, a top notch trio- I enjoyed each one of these offerings immensely, albeit in different ways. [...]

BY JEN VAUGHN – Read it and weep! Go have yourself a good cry (probably at a Disney movie). In the tradition of occasionally free newsprint tabloid comics like the one-shot Caboose and quarterly Smoke Signal, a collaborative comic will be available this weekend at MoCCA! Official press release below:
The word “comic” has always been a bit of misnomer and The Cartoon Crier hopes to set the record straight. Sorrow and woe is the focus of this free 36-page newspaper tabloid that highlights the work of members of The National Cartoonists Society and of The Center for Cartoon Studies’ community.
The Cartoon Crier will premiere on Saturday, April 28 at The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art Festival (MoCCA) in New York City.
The Cartoon Crier features the saddest strips from iconic comics like Family Circus, Beetle Bailey, Dennis the Menace, B.C., and For Better and For Worse. The Cartoon Crier also includes comics by Ivan Brunetti, Mell Lazarus, Melissa Mendes, Joe Lambert, Tom Gammill, Hilary Price, Laura Park, Richard Thompson, and Mo Willems as well as new work from the paper’s editors Cole Closser, R. Sikoryak, and James Sturm.
The Cartoon Crier will be available as a free download on May 1 from cartoonstudies.org.

We had a fantastic time at the Cloudy Collection show at Minneapolis’s Pink Hobo Gallery, and the rest of the weekend at MIX was so much fun!
But like the fun weekend, all good things must end. So instead of moping, we’re excited to release our celebration of the endtimes in our 2012 Calendar of the Impending Apocalypse. Each month was made by a different artist - January through December were made by Phil McAndrew, Jaime Zollars, Ana Benaroya, Joe Alterio, Adam Koford, Vincent Stall, Joe Lambert, David Huyck, Kali Ciesemier, Luke Pearson, Emory Allen, and Amy Crehore, repectively. Check them out!

A fun little comics anthology about a sword, now online. It’s the work of one of my favourite bunch of cartoonists — the guys at One Percent Press — JP Coovert, Stephen Floyd, James Hindle, Alexis Frederick-Frost, and Joe Lambert.

Joe Lambert has posted some tips on a clever binding technique he used to put together one of the books in his Sundays 3 minicomic, an anthology edited and designed by himself, Alex Kim, Chuck Forsman, & Sean Ford.
Joe also posted this little video on Flickr showing how the books are packaged together:
Previously: Joe Lambert’s sketchbooks
Isaac the Pirate is terrific. There are 5 volumes in French and the NBM stuff collects the first 4 (two per NBM book). Isaac is a good enough series that I check for a sixth French volume every few months hoping there will be enough material for NBM to do a third book. It’s been 8 years, so I should probably give up…
I wish more Blaine was available in English.
Hey Carter,
I’m a newly converted Blain advocate, so I’m reading all the English language stuff available. So far, that’s the Speed Abater, Isaac 1 &2, Gus and his Gang and the new cookbook with Alain Passard. I think he’s also done some of Lewis Trondheim’s Dungeon early years, but I’m a completist, so that would mean starting at the beginning of Dungeon!
I don’t have any French, so I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that someone will translate the rest of Isaac and maybe some of his other stuff too. Not holding my breath, though!
