Recommded Reading: Dean Mullaney and Bruce Canwell's books charting the life and career of Alex Toth, "Artists' Artist"

American comic artist Alex Toth's work is still hugely admired to this day, and well-deserving of a three-book series of guides by Dean Mullaney and Bruce Canwell that chart his amazing 60-year professional career

It's not an accident that Republicans are censoring history books that mention the Nazi Holocaust or American slavery.

my tag for my gender-swapped tcm au on here is (will be) "the sawyer sisters", because it's simple and easy to put on everything related to it, and my name for the collection of fics related to it on ao3 is "don't question the virtue names" because i felt the need to address my odd choice of naming theme for them in a way that probably draws more attention to it than anything

but if i really wanted to be clever and slightly esoteric while expressing my vision for this 'verse, my tag for it would be something like "cannibal Little Women"

#tcm #the sawyer sisters #i have all my loreposting in the drafts i just need to start yknow. posting it #which i will do starting tomorrow. promise #anyway i've somehow never read the novel little women all the way through despite reading a lot of classic literature as a kid #and i've been looking through various versions of it we have at the library recently #in the graphic novel section alone we have 2 different modern au middle-grade adaptations and the mlp:fim comics parody version #which is a delight #and idk it seems there's just something about this story about 4 sisters with distinct personalities growing up together #and living their lives in the middle of a tumultuous time in american history. focusing on the mundane but personally significant events #in a young woman's life #that's really resonated with a lot of people in the years since the novel was published and spawned so many different takes on the story #anyway OBVIOUSLY not 1:1 parallels but. patience is meg chastity is jo temperance is amy lacey is beth.#the march sisters if they sucked <3 and also ate people

Cool you're in America, you get to use DCUI to legally read your comics online have you considered: couldn't be me.

#i buy comics and preorder them but if it werent for the webbed sites i would be extrmely limited in what i can read #french libraries dont stock comics #literally all mine has in terms of DC is n52 Batman #so like. yeah i pirate that shit. not like i have much of a choice to do otherwise #something that someone said on locg pissed me off #'oh you should support the comic industry and if you pirate youre lilling it faster' how about the person #i know in russia that doesnt have any publisher that prints comics #like sure support where you can but be aware that tthe fact that youre able to read comics in a fully legal way #is a privilege of being american or british and not a universal experience

To put it into perspective this level of censorship hasn't been seen since the 1950s Red Scare. Updating the numbers on the graph the number of books banned from public schools from 2021 to today is close to 16,000 and that number will only rise with the current push to shutter libraries.
