Mail Call! It's always a special day when a new comic arrives from beautiful Brooklyn, NY. Order your copy here. More thoughts on this one in the new year.
Melinda Gebbie New Book:
Knockabout
John Freeman reports on a new career-spanning retrospective by one of the more original artists to ever grace a comix page, the one and only Melinda Gebbie. Ordering information on the Knockabout site. I was permanently scarred by her story in Slow Death #7, by turns abstract, violent, political:

Warren Tufts Genius Remembered:
Ines Estrada Has a Blog:
inechi.com
See Canon Zine #6 for my profile of Estrada, but we didn't talk much about the new edition of Alienation released a few months ago. It was great to hear of this blog from Estrada. There is a very long process post on the new book that is essential reading for comix creators and readers, as well.
Tom Tomorrow is a bit like Charles Schulz, in that I don't recall a time when his comic "This Modern World" wasn't around. The Daily Cartoonist ran a post of a profile of Dan Perkins (aka Tom Tomorrow) in an Iowa alternative newspaper, Little Vilage. I would have lost a bet if someone told me Tom Tomorrow grew up in Iowa City!
A recent newsletter detailed Cullen Beckhorn's last year publishing, including the Alive Outside anthology, globe-trotting in support of that and various exhibitions, and also publishing a number of books including their latest, Matthew Thurber's Looking For the Cat #7.

Jeff Nicholson Not Dead, Still Talented:
.Classic Colonia
GCD
New Colonia
Amazon
It was a great surprise finding a new interview with Jeff Nicholson, conducted by Jason Bergman, up on The Comics Journal site! Even more exciting was the news he would be finishing his Colonia series after a two decade break.
It's not ideal but still nice to seeing, in my opinion anyway, small press and independent cartoonists using the Amazon framework to distribute their work. You can purchase the entire Colonia series digitally here.
Ablaze Absorbs Legendary Graphic Novel Publisher NBM:
Both GCD
Heidi MacDonald at The Beat reports that pioneering publisher of English-language translations of French graphic novels (their first two releases pictured above), NBM, has been sold to Ablaze. NBM will continue as a sub imprint of Ablaze with founder Terry Nantier continuing to put together future releases.
Hard Core Drugs Comes to an End:

Lucy Sullivan "A Right Old Mess":
According to On the Hush Quarterly #9: Lucy Sullivan's next book, Mother's Ruin, will be coming out Fall 2027 from Avery Hill! Sullivan has been working on this follow-up to Early Doors for several years now. "I've resisted [watercolor] as a medium for a long time as I'm such a clumsy artist and usually end up making a right old mess." For updates on Mother's Ruin and WIP subscribe to her newsletter.
A1/Deadline #1
The new mashup of two classic UK anthology series, was (if I understand correctly) originally going to feature four pages from Tales From the Quarantine, but due to circumstances we are getting a new collaboration between Fraser Campbell and Lucy Sullivan!

We'll Be Back January 5th:
I do not like the holiday season, but put on a brave face for the fam. However, I'm not made of stone, Nat King Cole is a particular favorite this time of year:
Silent Night, Nat King Cole
