Comic Journaling

Every once in a while, I make a comic image to journal a special moment my life. Often, I create these memoirs during my graduate classes, and I hear my classmates snickering over my shoulder. Not surprisingly, I seem to be regarded by my colleagues. I just wish I knew in what way I was regarded.

Thor Conquers All... Dangnabit.

Your Vagina is Haunted.

Chris Sims reviews what could be the most terrible comic ever written, Tarot #53, but, as he says:

"And yet, it is beautiful in its purity. It is, in two sentences, everything that Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose is about. It’s why I read the book. Because every now and then, it gets so bad, so unrelentingly stupid, that is somehow loops back around to become brilliant for eleven words.

You have to get out of here. Your vagina is haunted.

Amazing."

Sigmund Freud in the Uncanny Realm of the Unconscious!

This is the most beautifully mad comic I've read in quite some time. Sigmund Freud, in the motif of 1950s sci fi with a hefty dose of Kirby at his most bizarre, struggles with the death urge in the zone of repression. Excuse me... "ALONE IN THE ZONE OF REPRESSION, SIGMUND FREUD FIGHTS AN ENEMY HE CANNOT SEE!" It's such a strange concept executed so adeptly that it truly needs to be seen to be believed.

I was essentially unfamiliar with the work of Hans Rickheit until being introduced to this comic. Chrome Fetus Comics contains more of his work and it's as haunting as it is poetic. Truly down-the-rabbit-hole beautiful.
