Hijinx at TCAF

With Marc Tessier & Stanley Wany of Editions TRIP
(TCAF - May11-12, 2013)

See, it's important for people to realize that comic books... sorry, GRAPHIC NOVELS are an important fusion of art and literature, exploring serious, important things, and that, that... um...



Never mind.  A good time was had at the TCAF (Toronto Comic Arts Festival) last weekend at the Metro Reference Library, not only with Marc and Stan, but also with the entire crew of Marie-Claude, Will, Simon Bosse, Carlos Santos, Fredc, Billy Mavreas, Rupert Bottenberg and many more.  I miss the camaradery of the Montreal underground comix scene, which I was part of in 1991-1994.  Thanks to TCAF, I had a chance to taste it again after so many years. 

THE CLIFF BOOK FOUR HAS BEGUN! + TCAF this weekend!

I FORGOT TO PUBLISH THIS POST BACK IN MAY, 2013... SINCE IT'S A NICE PHOTO AND I'M CURRENTLY REWORKING ALL THE SCANNED ORIGINAL ARTWORK OF "THE CLIFF: Book Four, Heart of Brightness," I'LL PUBLISH IT NOW.

That's right!  Pages 1-3 of the next instalment of THE CLIFF - Book 4: Heart of Brightness are on the wall, and pages 4&5 awaiting more ink!  So... the loveable adventures of Poopsie the Penguin and Mutt Blue continue in Varanasi, including the introduction of Poopsie's childhood friend, hired-gun Honky the Pig.

On another note, I will be at TCAF - the Toronto Comic Arts Festival this coming weekend, sharing some table space with my friends Marc and Stan of Editions TRIP, who are launching 3 new exciting books... hope to see you there!

And finally, check out this beautiful trailer for a movie about Yoshihiro Tatsumi, a comics genius from Japan whose work is disturbing, absurd and compassionate...
