A couple of cool vintage Tintin things spotted at our local used bookshop, Treehorn Books in downtown Santa Rosa.
A smallish cardboard Tintin cutout stands behind old books on a shelf in a window display. The Window display also includes a mannequin wearing a bookshop t-shirt (almost entirely unseen) and a fez, adding an air of mystery and adventure to seeing Tintin. A round spinner rack of sorts with The Adventures of Tinin branding on it. It has three tiers, with some large-format paperback books in the spiral plastic racks in the display.

Do you like Al Hirschfeld's drawings? Of course you do. Stuart Ng Books has an online exhibition of some wonderful original art up right now. Lots of the stuff we all love from Hirschfeld but also some surprising things, too:

"Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me." - Judy Blume

#CensorshipIsSo1984 #BannedBooks #LibrarySky
Quote from Judy Blume reads "Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me." An illustration shows a young girl reading a book on a green bean bag. The cover of the book says "I love to read." Art is by Debbie Ridpath Ohi, based on a character from The Pain and The Great One.

I just backed this project! This looks like a lot of fun, and there are some great budget-friendly options on this project! I love the idea of offering the script as an add-on. Original art is available, too!

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

Happy Halloween! 💀🎃

Popularized during times of plague and disease, Danse Macabre or "the dance of death" illustrates death as a skeleton dancing alongside people from all walks of life. As examples of memento mori, these images serve as a universal reminder or warning of death to the living.

Friends! If you back Comics Courier issue 3 at the physical-copy tier, you get a print I drew!
(Reckoned that since some skyscrapers were being built about the time that the Captain Easy sundays were launched, a skywalker on break might've taken in the city and some Roy Crane storytelling, both)
