Holy Backgrounds, Batman. You know what, this is as good as any other way to keep a diary of sorts while at the same time exercising my drawing efficiently muscles.

Also, is this one too cryptic?

Very sad news today: we lost Marjane Satrapi, author, artist & film-maker, and far too damned early. I've recommended her honest, emotional autobiographical Persepolis so many times to readers, for some it's their first graphic novel experience.

A four-panel Sundae Comics strip in a moody purple and blue palette set in a late-night radio booth. A pink-haired DJ named Madilyn Smith, wearing oversized glasses and headphones, introduces herself as the host of ASMR Radio from midnight to 3am. In panel two she teases the evening's programming: later she'll be eating a crunchy cucumber sandwich, and at 2am she'll work on some collating and stapling — snapping her fingers with a satisfied "snap snap snap." In panel three she raises a finger and says "But first..." In panel four she pulls a large mug directly to her face and takes a slow, enormously amplified sip: "SSLLUUURRRRPPP."

Just found out about the passing of Marjane Satrapi at only 56. An exceptionally talented woman, and 'Persepolis', arguably her most celebrated work, is proof of why. In those graphic novels she depicted her childhood and early adulthood in Iran and later in Europe, during the Islamic Revolution and its aftermath. A very personal story that stands among the most important works in modern literature, not just within the comic book medium. A masterpiece on the level of Art Spiegelman's 'Maus'.

It shattered stereotypes and introduced western readers to a version of Iran they had never seen, humanising its people without sugarcoating the politics or the systemic oppression, and particularly how it affected the everyday lives of women. An honest, feminist story told through the eyes of a young girl who loved punk rock, who dreamed, and who refused to conform.

If you've never read her work, do yourself a favour and pick up 'Persepolis', or watch the brilliant animated film adaptation, which she co-directed and which took home the Jury Prize at Cannes in 2007.

RIP to an absolute legend. 🤘

Chamomile #485
(New comic every Sunday)
http://jezmmart.com/chamomilecomic

#jezmmart #chamomilecomic #comics #webcomic #art

Comic from my weekly series, Chamomile. Detailed Description Follows:

Chamomile is sat on the sofa in a tiny crop top and shorts, looking sweaty and uncomfortable with a closed book on the arm rest next to her. Phantom is snoozing on the floor, flopped on her side. Chamomile is pulling the small crop-top outwards with one hand and directing the air from a small handheld electric fan towards the underside of her boobs as she lets out a very long grumbling moan, before following up with just saying "Hot." She stops fanning herself for a moment to observe Phantom on the floor, saying "Aww, Phanny! I bet you're even hotter with that fluffy coat of yours. I'm gonna buy you the big cooling mat we saw at the pet shop." The scene changes to Chamomile now in the pet shop, holding the box for a cooling mat that she's just taken off the display in front of her. It's marked as Size L, for large dog breeds. She glances to the side, spotting the next product along. It's another cooling mat, this one size XS, for toy breeds, kittens and puppies. Still holding the large mat's box in one hand, she picks up two of the extra small mat boxes, and scrunches her face a little, glancing up to the side in thought. The scene returns to Chamomile's living room, where she is now sitting comfortably reading her book, her handheld fan now on the arm rest pointed at her from a distance. Discarded packaging for the three mats is on the floor nearby. In the foreground, Phantom seems to be contently laying on her large cooling mat. Chamomile appears to have stuffed the two extra small cooling mats up her crop-top, one under each boob. End of comic.

Chamomile #482
(New comic every Sunday)
http://jezmmart.com/chamomilecomic
#jezmmart #chamomilecomic #comics #webcomic #art

Comic from my weekly series, Chamomile. Detailed Description Follows:

Tamsin opens her front door to look outside, where the sun is beaming, dressed in her usual attire of a low-cut strapped black dress and fishnet thighhighs. She says "Looks like a scorcher! Bugger, I should've put my sun cream on before I got dressed. Ah well." Back inside, she squirts a big blob of suncream into one hand. She applies it to her arms. She squirts another big blob. She applies it to her chest and neck. She squirts another big blob. She applies it to her face. Then, she squirts a very tiny amount onto her fingertip. She applies it to one fishnet square of her leg. She squirts another very tiny amount onto her fingertip. She applies it to the next fishnet square of her leg along. She squirts another very tiny - the comic cuts off abruptly. End of comic.

I'm still struggling to find my footing here on Mastodon. A bit with the platforms and tags, but mostly finding people to follow. I'm a bit all over the place, posting about my #writing, be it academic or fiction (mostly #SciFi), and about cool #Science I ran into, and the more common than it should be - complain about stuff.
I'm interested in #SFF, #publishing, #MiniaturePainting, science, #queer culture, academia, human sexuality, geekish humor, #comics & #EarthSci.

Recommend people to me!

I've finished: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Shabon

I didn't grow up with comics and don't have any nostalgia for them.

I do have an interest in history, culture, art and speculative fiction.

I'm also Jewish and Kavalier & Clay spoke to me on so many levels.

It is the story of Jewish refugees behind the golden age of comic books, about their experiences and motivations. It is the story of the comic book as an art form and cultural phenomena.

It is not speculative fiction, but it contains descriptions of the comics the characters create, as part of their journey and emotional development. Breaking the fourth wall Chabon gives us a glimpse into the creative process and the sociology behind the super hero comic book as a story telling art form.

There are points where the lines between the comic story lines and the characters reality seem to blend.

It is a very Jewish novel, but a secular Jewish novel, involving Jewish culture, history and oppression, but without involving belief in god and religious practices.

I really cared about the trio of characters, their successes, failures and distress, as they live through this terrible historical period .

Delighted to receive an advance copy of Wilomina - the Land of Dreams & Nightmares from Scholastic.

I've adored Glasgow creators Metaphrog's work going back to the Louis books in the 90s, I'm sure I'm going to be recommending this to our younger readers in the bookshop.
