Dear Nancy

Although this charming letter from Miss DayJah Cabaza of Pennsylvania arrived in the John Stanley Library mailbag months ago (back when the stationery was still seasonally appropriate,) its charm has not waned with the passage of time! In her letter, Miss Cabaza declares that she is Nancy's biggest fan. Which begs the question: how tall is C. Tyler?(Photo...

Al-Qaeda thwarted again

Would-be terrorists of the world, don't even think about stirring up trouble at this weekend's G20 Summit in Toronto. We've got David Collier on our side, a soldier (and resident cartoonist) in the Canadian Army, providing security for the international gathering of world leaders. Aside from drawing numerous sketches of the likes of Barack Obama, Silvio...

There is a new Palookaville coming!

And with its 20th issue, it has undergone a format change--it will now be only available in iPad format!Yeah, I know it's a lame joke but I put the 30 seconds into making that jpeg so I thought I'd see it through.But seriously, it's now a handy little hardcover book. As a result, it's beefed up with lots of new features like a long sketchbook diary...

Tubby, rolling into stores this fall!

Having had my fair share of trouble at the Canada-US border for importing comics of questionable moral content (created by nationally-treasured cartoonists, I might add,) I am just going to be right up front about it this time: Tubby, the next volume in our ongoing John Stanley Library series, contains kid nudity. And that's not all: this book, which...

Support your local independent store

Landmark Toronto bookstore THIS AIN'T THE ROSEDALE LIBRARY is facing tough economic times, as reported in this post by Rory Seydel, manager of our own independent bookstore. THIS AIN'T is particularly close to our hearts in part because they have carried and supported D&Q books and comics since the early 1990s, at least a decade before most bookstores in North America started creating "graphic novel" sections.Folks, we all have to step up here and do our part to support these stores, or else we'll all be reading books on iPads and Kindles a...

Nipper 1963-1964

There's a new Nipper book in the works, collecting comics from the peak period of Doug Wright's career.

Clowes in Bay Guardian, WILSON Moves up to #3 on NYT Graphic Novel List

Is linking to this interview a cheap ploy to point out that WILSON has moved up to #3 on the NY Times Graphic Novel Bestseller list, 2 months after its release? Perhaps, but trust me the SFBG interview is interesting, especially to Bay Area people, as Dan and the writer Sam Stander go over the difference between Oakland, Berkeley and SF, as well as the still sad closing of Cody's, and even Natural Born Kille...
