Happy Birthday, John Linton Roberson

This comic is most of us these days. 

A Bonus Moment of Comics

John Linton Roberson has been showing this page from Joe Matt's Peepshow strip collection from Kitchen Sink Press. It features him and Bernie Mireault as two young cartoonists scraping by. Even before Mireault's recent suicide and Matt's recent death after living a meager and miserly existence for the last several years (albeit willingly), John said it worked as a cautionary tale and urged him to not be broke and destitute in life. I have more thoughts about Joe's work in particular. Particularly the last work he ever did.

 

Happy Birthday, John Linton Roberson

 

 

Us old creatives have to stick together.

Advent Calendar, Day Twenty-One

John Linton Roberson was posting a risqué song from the 1920s (or 1930s)  on Twitter. It inspired me to search for a risqué Christmas song. This is the first one I found.

Things I'm Proud of in 2019: My Comics Journalism

I was so happy to finally write and publish my article "Removing Alan Moore’s Message: An Anatomy Lesson."

Update

Just to let you know, I got an offer to have my Alan Moore article be part of Noteworthy - The Journal Blog.  So I guess I'm a staff writer for them now, which is cool

I owe some belated thanks to John Roberson, who helped me edit the article. Also to Laura Kiesel, Medium pro who gave me some good advice as I tread through these new waters.

Happy Birthday John Linton Roberson

I Had Issues! My Old Review of Flashpoint #5

Oh, wow. I have fun writing this. I put all my aggravation with modern comics into this piece. I started out claiming I was going to "get this over with,"but I kept going on because it was too much fun.

Sometimes the way you can destroy a feisty critic is to have them write about something they like. That might be true, but it's still fun to be feisty. 

Originally published September 8, 2011. Edited slightly for clarification, formatting, spelling and grammatical errors. And I changed a link to go directly to my friend, John Roberson. I appreciate that he read my stuff often. Thanks for believing in me, sir.

I Had Issues! My Old Review of This Sickness #7

This one is a little awkward to repost. I was already friendly online with cartoonist/editor John Linton Roberson when I posted this piece back in the day. A few years later, he published me in the anthology I previously gushed over online.for which I'm eternally grateful. Originally published August 12, 2011. Edited for minor punctuation and other things I overlooked when I was trying to write and publish on the fly. 

Happy Birthday John Linton Roberson

Consider buying Book 1 of Lulu as he presses on to complete the next chapter.

2016 Highlight: This Sickness

 

John Linton Roberson's anthology This Sickness came out in January, but I only now ordered the physical copy.

I should have gotten this sooner. It's absolutely gorgeous. It serves as a reminder how much books read on iPads and Kindles suffer in comparison to the physical package.

I recommend you buy this book now. John is a top writer, artist and editor. If the comics market was like it was in the late eighties or early nineties, he would be putting this work out on a more regular and profitable basis.

Thank you so much, John.

The rest of you Buy the book now. John gets more money from CreateSpace.
 

On The Subject of Interviews

Here's a chat with John Linton Roberson done by Sequart (Part One and Part Two) a few weeks back when his anthology This Sickness #8 (with work by yours truly) was released. It's a good time to bring this chat up, as John just had a great life affirming experience a few days ago. Congratulations all around, John.

Thank You, Jamie Delano

The noted comics writer and novelist let John L. Roberson about his favorite work in The Sickness, including a poem of mine!
