Today Is A Day For Items Of Note
And why not?
- First up, a quick point over to the current Steeple storyline — Clotted Crime by name — and a news item from John Allison yesterday. A name from the hallowed past is being shared and that caught my interest:
Kelly Vivanco has done the cover for the upcoming Clotted Crime part 3, but that is not all.
I’m not sure what caught more of my interest, to be honest. Kelly Vivanco is the creator of Patches, a much beloved and long-hiatused webcomic that is still online for your delectation and enjoyment. Patches went on hiatus about the time Vivanco started producing what might be called fine art¹. Any time I come across Vivanco’s name, I take notice and fall in love with her work again. A cover page for Part 3 of Clotted Crime will be welcome indeed.
But then there’s the second part of the newsbite, where Allison says that Vivanco has gone and done fan art of a previously-unknown bit of Tackleverse lore:
She has also submitted some archival pictures of Tredregyn’s sole all-merman folk outfit of the 1960s, TENTANGLE.
And the images are everything about her work that I love. Go check them out, and check out Vivanco’s work more generally if you aren’t familiar with it.
- Secondly, let us compare and contrast two upcoming comics events. On the one hand you have CXC, kicking off tomorrow and running through Sunday. On the other hand, you have the SDCC special event thingy — they’re calling it Special Edition — over [American] Thanksgiving weekend. The former is remote and online. The latter is in person.
Nobody knows what SDCC/SE will look like or how many people might be there — badges are on sale now, a marked contrast to normal SDCC iterations where they sell out instantly — and thus it’s hard to make a case why one should attend, but it’s easy to make the counter-case:
It is too soon for an in-person event, particularly one that takes place on the busiest travel weekend of the year², doubly-particularly since many people did not get to gather with family last year and just might be able to this year.
CXC will be taking place in a combo of mostly virtual and a few in-person events at The Billy (which will also be available online). The schedule is packed with Zoom, YouTube, and Discord channels, the guests are lined up, and it’s free. CXC is a no-brainer. And, in a completely different way, so is SDCC/SE.
Spam of the day:
No matter if you have a big bust or small bust, this is the best wireless bra that looks great under clothes while feeling like loungewear.Cooling Bra Pro can actually have a great impact on your life.
I, uh, do not have a need for such a foundation garment. Thanks?
