Fantasy Is A Metaphor For The Human Condition, a comic about magic, and art, and speculative fiction, and being sick, and how they all intersect. Originally laid out/pencilled November-December 2017, when I was in a very difficult place emotionally as I was relearning how to draw post-brain injury.

Before I go on vacation, I present my list of my top books for 2024.

COMICS:

Roaming by Jillian Tamaki & Mariko Tamaki

Bunt! by Ngozi Ukazu & Mad Rupert

Ukazu and Rupert are a powerhouse team, and as an art school adjunct, this already funny GN is even funnier (albeit in a way that necessitates a skull emoji in the educator groupchat)

Tiffany’s Griffon by Magnolia Porter Siddell & Maddi Gonzalez

Phobos and Deimos by J Dalton

Delicious in Dungeon by Ryoko Kui

It's a tough task to reach a satisfying conclusion to a series that was as strong as Dungeon, but I think Kui accomplished it!

Fool Night by Kasumi Yasuda

King in Limbo by Ai Tanaka

Over the last year I've been drawn towards comic series that work with a retro, fixed-width inking style, and King especially informed some recent experiments of mine.

PROSE:

Twins by Bari Wood & Jack Geasland

When I learned Wood was responsible for the book that became Dead Ringers, I knew I had to try it. This is the one that wins my "Oh, shit! Wow!! Okay!!!" award for the year (distinctions previously awarded to Cyteen and Manhunt).

The Bezzle by Cory Doctorow

DS9: A Stitch in Time by Andrew J. Robinson

Those of you who read my journal comic from last August might recall that I met Robinson at a Trek convention! I'd learned from reading these books that Stitch was considered a white whale among collectors, and now I absolutely understand why. If you're a DS9 fan and you want to try any book from the original run of novels, try this one. By which I mean, try the far easier-to-find audiobook version.

Translation State by Ann Leckie

A Woman of the Iron People by Eleanor Arnason

Fellow SBCF participant Erin Roseberry had shared this title as an inspiration for their comic, The Maker of Grave-Goods, and I was especially interested in trying a book by a Twin Cities author. What a serendipitous find!

Arboreality by Rebecca Campbell

For the third year in a row, a book nominated for the Le Guin Prize makes the list.

Always Coming Home by Ursula K. Le Guin

This is another book I always told myself I'd try someday, and was it ever worth it! I spent some time talking about my experience with this story (and its accompanying materials that fill out the world) in my talk with Evan Dahm on his show.

See you in the new year! I've packed some thick books for a long flight, so I'm starting my 2025 reading pile right away!

Reruns of my previous two lists, 2023, and 2022, below the cut.

2023

COMICS:

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou by Hitoshi Ashinano

Out of Style by Devi Putri Megwati

Skip and Loafer by Misaki Takamatsu

The Harrowing of Hell by Evan Dahm

The Infinity Particle by Wendy Xu

Esteban by Matthieu Bonhomme

I covered my ShortBox reccs back in October, but since then I also picked up Pearl Hunting by Hana Chatani when it came to itch.io and adored it.

PROSE: 

So yes, maybe I'm cheating by including Moby Dick since I'm not all the way finished, but Whale Weekly really did end up being a great tool for getting me to crack open my gorgeous Evan Dahm-illustrated copy I've had for a while.

My favorite book of the year is Roadside Picnic by Arkady & Boris Strugatsky. I genuinely did read it the first week of January, but after having it recommended to me for years, I'm thrilled it didn't disappoint. Maybe I am someone who likes Russian novels after all???

Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto

Such Nice People by Sandra Scoppettone

Cyteen by C.J. Cherryh (I jokingly placed these three in the "READ 👏 FEMALE 👏 AUTHORS 👏" category because they don't have anything in common other than describing some of the most upsetting/bizarre scenarios I've read this year. Cyteen especially! Wowee!!!)

Brother Alive by Zain Khalid

Glory by Vladimir Nabokov

A Different Trek by David K. Seitz, which I mentioned as my vacation book for the Star Trek convention, but it's given me some great suggestions for more books, both fiction and otherwise. Also, I read... 11 more DS9 books this year. 

2022

COMICS:

Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa

Vattu by Evan Dahm

The Well by Choo and Jake Wyatt

Wash Day Diaries by Robyn Smith and Jamila Rowser

Some ShortBox Comics Fair entries that are graphic novella length and are really good include Food School by Jade Armstrong and The God of Arepo by Reimena Yee et al.

PROSE:

Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters

The Murders of Molly Southbourne by Tade Thompson

How to Blow Up a Pipeline by Andreas Malm

Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin

Dead Collections by Isaac Fellman

Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov

A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers

The Past is Red by Catherynne M. Valente

edit: oh my god I can't believe I forgot Perfume by Patrick Süskind

Honorable mentions from the pile of DS9 novelizations include Revenant by Alex White (for successfully pulling off a Sara Paretsky-style mystery in space) and Dominion War: Call to Arms by Diane Carey (for absolutely unhinged adjective choices).

[reblogglelog]

There are a lot of comics and art about this, because it is something so tender and gentle. My favorite can be found in this tumblr post by the artist, Erin Roseberry, aka Fox-Teeth. It can also be purchased physically here.

1 am thinking abt the triassic cuddle once again and getting sad. The Thrinaxodon was in a torpor and wouldn’t have woken up before it drowned in the rain. The Broomistega was badly injured and dying. Neither of them ever actually knew each other but their last moments are curled up together and immortalized in stone Hggggm

[Image description: 13 panels of a comic done traditionally using inks. The colours are vibrant and have a retro feel to them. Each page shows:

The title page. It shows the heads of two creatures feturead in the comic, Broomistega and Thrinaxodon. Broomistega resembles a stout lizard, with horizontally-tear shaped head, with no protruding features like ears or snout. It is mostly green with blue tan-like colouring. Thrinaxodon resembles a canine, with folded ears, a snout with whiskers and frilled cheekbones, and one fang sticking out its mouth. It is orange with pink stripes all over its body. On the title page their heads are shown side by side, with vibrant pink letters on top “Broomistega & Thrinaxodon” by Erin Roseberry.

Broomistega looks up, worried, at the raging storm in the sky. It stands on a dry land, but in the distance a wall of rain can be seen. It has pink liquid, perhaps meant to symbolise blood, on its head. Text reads “Do you love me?”

Broomistega is shown with big teary eye and the liquid flowing down its head, then its paw prints as it is headed somewhere. Text reads “Even like this?”

Broomistega stands at the mouth of a burrow, looking up at three creatures much larger than it; they resemble big wild cats, but without ears, and are green with brown panthera-like markings. A square zoom-in shows the big creatures’ mouth, with a Broomistega tail and blood between them. Text reads “Even though I am weak and small?”

Broomistega is now walking down the tunnel of the burrow. In the soil underneath the surface are fossils and bones. Text reads “Do you love me?”

Broomistega is now in the burrow, looking up at the Thrinaxodon that was sleeping prior to its arrival. It looks down on the Broomistega with half-lidded eyes. Text reads “Even now?”

Thrinaxodon is licking off the liquid from Broomistega’s head, both with their eyes closed. Text reads “Even though I could not be more different than you?”

A zoom-in on the grooming framed by the evolution line of each creature.

The two creatures are now sleeping side by side, as outside the storm rages still and the flood is starting to come near them. Text reads “Do you love me?”

The creatures’ heads are very close now, the storm and flood are getting stronger, and water is starting to flow down into their hiding spot. Text reads “I love you”

The water is now flowing in rapidly into the burrow, with the outside world being a big lake, and Broomistega smiles as it snuggles with Thrinaxodon. Text reads “Even here, at the”

The two creatures are shown in present on the comic and now. Their bodies are being covered by water. Below that, their skeletons, which remained in the same position as the creatures, are shown. Text reads “end of the world.”

Last panel. It shows the skeletal remains of the Broomistega and the Thrinaxodon. Purple text which frames the remains reads “250 million years ago, the Earth experienced an apocalyptic event, called “The Great Dying” during which 90% of life was wiped out and harsh desert enviroments spread across the planet. During this period, an injured amphibian called Broomistega sought refuge in the burrow of a sleeping therapsid called Thrinaxodon. The two creatures died in a flash flood, forgotten until their fossils were discovered in the present day, together for eternity. Sources: Synchroton Reveals Early Triassic Odd Couple… by Fernandez et al., “Locked in Time” by Lomax & Nicholls”

The text in the comic repeated for clarity: “Do you love me? Even like this? Even though I am weak and small? Do you love me? Even now? Even though I could not be more different than you? Do you love me? I love you. Even here, at the end of the world.”

Hello, today is my birthday, and I would like to share a comic I made in the last year with you. It's called Broomistega and Thrinaxodon.

This comic was originally printed with yellow, fluorescent pink, light teal, and violet risograph inks. Physical copies are available in my shop.

Hello there! I managed to find you one day through the SVA tag! I'm really shy, so I was really nervous to ask, but I recently applied as a transfer student for the Cartooning program for Fall 2013. I was wondering if you knew anything about the cartooning program? I'm more into full on graphic novels to be honest, and my style is a mixture of Ameri-manga, but less generic/weeabooey. I'm trying to use foundational art skills to improve my style. Any knowledge about it would be appreciated!

Aw, hello! No need to be shy!

Unfortunately, I’m pretty ignorant of the inner workings of the Cartooning department, in spite of Illustration and Cartooning being paired majors in many ways.

Fortunately, I know some excellent people to refer you to - Pierce Hargan and Erin Roseberry are both excellent folk and were/are SVA Cartooning majors. Erin even did a pretty amazing post on Cartooning already, and Pierce might have answered stuff about it as well but I don't remember?

(I, uh, hope you guys don’t mind me calling you out :P)
