Mediaday
I was going to call this one Booksday, but it’s not just books dropping today. Ready for the list?
- Leave Me Alone!; words and pictures by Vera Brosgol, from Roaring Brook Press
- King Baby; words and pictures by Kate Beaton, from Scholatic
- Mervin The Sloth Is About To Do The Best Thing In The World; words by Collen AF Venable, pictures by Ruth Chan, from Harper Collins
- The Creepy Case Files Of Margo Maloo (review here); words and pictures by Drew Weing, from :01 Books
- Ghosts (review here); words and line art by Raina Telgemeier, colors by Braden Lamb, from Scholastic
But it’s not just dead tree releases that you should be paying attention to; for those of you that like to listen to things, I have a pair of podcasts of note:
- Big Data episode one from Ryan Estrada, et al, drops today, with the start of a story about a plot to steal the internet. What I find most interesting about Big Data is actually the presence of a seemingly minor character: Manisha, as played by Sasha Roopen. Indian call center representative Manisha was the star of Estrada’s This Is How You Die story, Shiv Sena Riot, then she was the center (or at least the moral center) of Estrada’s Broken Telephone, and now she’s here. She’s the constant of the Estradaverse, definitively linking the various stories into one continuity. Neat.
- Can I Pet Your Dog? episode 60, from Maximum Fun also drops today, with special guests Jeph Jacques and his enormous floof of a dog, Shelby (star of webcomics and the floor of Jeph’s house). Every Great Pyrenees I’ve ever met has been a damn cool dog, and Jacques tells you more about Shelby here, but if you want to know about a dog, you don’t read about it — you listen to that dog’s person/people tell stories about the good boy/girl in question. Even if you’re a cat person, you should give Can I Pet Your Dog? a listen because dogs rule.
Spams of the day:
fantastic franchise opportunity
and
your bankruptcy options
I think it’s probably significant that both of these are coming from the same address.
