I just look at the pictures

Scott McCloud's I Can't Stop Thinking ...

Used to read many more comics than I do now. But tempted all over again by what McCloud writes.

(Should, of course, also be commenting on what Gaiman writes. And it is 'writes', these days. American Gods is a fine book, even considering its relative lack of rivers. And no, it is not 'just the same as Sandman').

But I digress.

Am heading out to buy Transmetropolitan, because I liked what I read. And maybe if it is not solid text I can read it. (Reading solid text, in book form, for more than about 20 minutes sets off twitches, neuralgia, migraines and depression-at-not-having-finished-Years-of-Rice-and-Salt)

Everybody's talking about Scott McLoud ...

... including the BBC. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_1925000/1925780.stm)

Coincidence?

I think not.
That is ... 'twas the Beeb site that sent me there. And him on the Front Page, too.

Ah, but we found him first...

/me waves a copy of Zot #1, and points to the big signed print of all the characters from Zot on the lounge wall.

I'm still annoyed that Kitchen Sink went bust before printing volume 4 of the Collected Zot, as I'm missing most of Earth Stories

Do you get the feeling I'm a bit of a Zot fan?
