LINKS and PLUGS


I’m in the middle of Joe Sacco’s Paying The Land and really enjoying it. Recommended!! Notice how he draws eyes. Weird! It’s consistent, often clearly looking in to the light/camera. His drawing is incredible in this book. The story itself is the main thing, though, and an incredible tale of Canada.

The way Segar was translated into French, in terms of design and publishing, is sure weird! I like it, even though the Frechness of it at times is too French, if that makes sense? I can’t speak to the actual translation translation, but who knows, probably “Let’s you and him fight” is funny in French, too. I’ll write an essay about it someday…maybe… Several old French Segar Popeyes can be read clicking around at this link.
