Hey, just a reminder that @plannedparenthood was there for me and @tilliewalden when we needed it, along with so many others. Now it’s time to be there for them.
So if you PayPal me (bighappyjet@gmail.com) $6 and your address, I will send you a physical copy of this comic. All the proceeds (after shipping costs) will go to Planned Parenthood.
Hey check this out! Anna and I are selling physical copies of this comic to raise money for Planned Parenthood!!!!
We wrapped up the King Baby school and store tour, thanks for a great two weeks to all these kiddos! King Baby is here, I’m going back to my polar bears and maple syrup in Canada. Might sketch a few more if they come to mind, kids throw things a mile a minute. I possibly want to work with them forever.
The final publication of Pigeon Press In the last months before comics impresario Alvin Buenaventura passed away, he completed publishing Sir Alfred No. 3, an oversized comic book/graphic novel by the brilliant Tim Hensley (author of the acclaimed 2010 Fantagraphics release, Wally Gropius).
Sir Alfred No. 3 is an oblique biography of the world’s most famous film director, Alfred Hitchcock. In fact, despite being numbered “No. 3,” no other issues exist. The comic book is composed of multiple gag strips based on anecdotes found in tomes of film lore in the public library and used book shops. As Hensley’s previous work Wally Gropius referenced the ‘60s teenager genre, Sir Alfred pays homage to ‘50s personality comics and movie tie-ins. It ends up being something of a cross between Marge Buell’s Tubby, who bears an unforeseen resemblance to the famous director, and Miss Beverly Hills of Hollywood.
The book includes cameos by Salvador Dali, Greta Garbo, Joseph Cotten, Joan Fontaine, David O. Selznick, Edith Head, Gregory Peck, Bernard Herrmann, Francois Truffaut, and a cast of thousands.
It should be emphasized that Sir Alfred No. 3 is more than just a comic book; it is a signed and numbered, limited edition bundle that was produced with a variety of printing processes including offset, letterpress, and giclee printing, as well as blind embossing, handstamping, and diecutting. Each copy of this strictly limited and signed/numbered edition of 1000 comes with a correspondingly numbered giclee print suitable for framing and a custom beverage coaster, all packaged in a mylar sleeve.
The mods on r/Seattle keep taking this post down because they gotta make room for moar sunset pics, but we dgaf and think this image of the Greater Seattle transit system equipment is the swooniest thing online.
Created by DC-based graphic designer and transit lover Peter Dovak, these gorgeous visual love letters to systems of transportation that move us to-and-fro are so important. They monumentalize the mundane, helping all of us to see the functional as beautiful. When you fall in love with transit, you’ll support it with time and energy (and votes).
Buy this shit out of his prints and mugs of our region’s bad-ass transit system! Give them as gifts! Go ride the bus/streetcar/light rail/ferry/sounder/water taxi!
