On vacation till August 13
I am eyeballs-deep in an exciting screwball-related project which I hope someday to share with you. Because of that, I will be taking a week off from my daily posting.
If you are jonesing to read more screwball comics, I suggest you troll through the artist pages I've put up. There's links at the top and right hand side of this page. I have stuffed many of these pages with additional items of interest, including many rare comics. Most recently I completely overhauled the Ving Fuller page . You'll find a lot of interesting material unavailable anywhere else.
This is also a great time to browse the 60+ articles on screwball masters that I have posted on this blog so far. Here's some articles I'm especially proud about that you may have missed:
The Elements of Screwball Comics
The Snoremonica: They Laughed When I Went to Bed
Comic Strips Are Frozen Words: A Full Page of 1937 Ahern Screwball Goodness
Stuck on the Enchanted Flypaper - Snapshots of Foozland
Doc Syke by Ving Fuller: A Prescription For Surreal Silliness

Announcement! Last night, my talented pal Frank Young (curator of the amazing Stanley Stories blog) dropped by with a copy of the brand new graphic novel - The Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song. Frank co-authored this stunning book with the super-gifted David Lasky. The folks at Abrams ComicArts have done a stellar job of making this book a beautiful hardcover treasure, complete with a CD of music! Being an author, Frank got his copy early. The book will be out in October, and can be pre-ordered on Amazon. I think this will be one of the outstanding graphic novels to date -- a meticulously researched and impeccably crafted telling of the story of the first family of country music that is historically and emotionally authentic -- and fun to read!
See ya next week, Iggy!

Okay - my fave is the pool table at the end of the second Sunday. I want a t-shirt of that!
