Out this week: What We Mean By Yesterday Vol. 2 (Fantagraphics, $19.99): 

Part two of Benjamin Marra’s Instagram-born daily comic strip project, as this volume follows conniving peasant Ninkugel, who accidentally causes a plague, flees his village, and lies and cheats his way across the countryside until he convinces an entire town he’s a legendary demon slayer.

See what else is coming to your local comic shop this week!

Sparkstember Day 30: 'A metaphor is a pickleball court...'

So literally on the afternoon of Hello Young Lovers day I was reminded of this absolutely (and intentionally) ludicrous article from the New York Times last year and it struck me and reading the words MALE and LONELINESS next to one another set off the Metaphor alarm in my brain. So rather than hold this one over until next September 20th, here it is now before the pickleball craze is just a forgotten cultural reference.

This was another fun one! See you next year folks.

MUND MUND MUND! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we talk to the Benjamin Marra, artist extraordinaire! We’re supposed to talk about INTERMEDIARY MUND, his new RPG zine from Exalted Funeral, and we do, and it makes good on the promise of a lot of those pesky Satanic Panic fears from the ‘80s! But the real meat of the chat winds up musing on the central appeal of old school fantasy art, and how it has informed Ben’s own work over the years. That, and much more, on this week’s episode!
