Like so many others from my old days on long dead Comics Twitter, ComicKkrakk has been a big influence on, not just my comic reading habits, but my attitude toward comics and media and life in general. We salute you!

My earliest "liked" video on YouTube was this comics roundtable with ComicKkrakk, LahRasa, sleepyreader666, and (debuting) earlgrey862. The former two still continue this format to this day:

Here's a favorite recent installment of ComicKkrakK's long-running "Sunday Wrap" series where he discusses his comics, music, TV, and movie consumption from the previous week:

Did you know that ComicKkrakk's secret identity, Terence Fuller of Winnipeg, Manitoba, is a polymath active in the film, music, and radio industries (he's also an artist, as well)? Check out the links below:

Sean Kleefeld Year End Round-up Crasher:
Kleefeld on Comics
Some people crash weddings, Sean Kleefeld crashed The Beat's year end creator survey! Love it. Read Kleefeld's responses here.
Venerable underground comix publisher Last Gasp has been publishing some wild Manga translations recently. I believe a Barefoot Gen Omnibus, Ultra Heaven Volume 3, and more Suehiro Maruo are coming in 2026...
Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum 2025 Donations Round-up:
The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum at Ohio State University received so many great donations this past year. Here are a few highlights that stood out to me:

2) Joshua Cotter collection including original cover art for Skyscrapers of the Midwest and a sketchbook containing all the original art for Drive by Lemons.
3) Emily Flake original art for the Lulu Eightball alternative weekly strip.
4) Other pieces of original art by: Ron Rege Jr., Kevin Huzienga, Brian Ralph, Jessica Abel, Ted Stearn, Ho Che Anderson, and J.R. Williams.
5) Unspecified donations from cartoonists Stephen Bissette, Terry Laban, and Frank Santoro.
Comix Reading List:
Closing out the year catching up on Richard Sala (on Comixology Unlimited and Hoopla) and his work, all are well worth your time. Is it just me or did he become a bit of a dirty old man? Just saying, lot of young (sometimes naked) women running around those later books. Not that I mind!
Ubiquitous Crowdfunding Spotlight:
Kickstarter
It was great to come across this campaign for a comprehensive omnibus of Brian Kirk's Ubiquitous Funnies mini-comics. He has an immediately recognizable style and there's only $99 to go with a January 30th deadline. Check out the campaign here!
