Harvey Pekar, and Craig Thompson's HABIBI

[mildmannered]

Two comics things: Last summer, I wrote a piece about getting to work with Harvey Pekar. The comic we worked on (I did the pencils, the brilliant David Lasky did the inks) went into the book Yiddishkeit, and is now up online here - just scroll down a bit, it's the first two pages in the excerpt.

But MUCH more importantly, THIS:



I review Craig Thompson's forthcoming 700-page graphic novel, HABIBI, in this week's Phoenix. WARNING: SPOILERS.

Oh my god, you guys. Oh my god.

Where is the "LIKE" button?

I may wait to read your review until I've read Craig's book... I don't know. Hard to decide...

HUZZAH!

Definitely going to get a copy of Yiddishkeit. It's amazing that you're included in such an awesome collection of comics stories! And I still love the story about Pekar phoning you and then hanging up. :)

AAAUGH! It's not coming out until September 20! Drat you early reviewers!

My misery is tempered by my sheer awe at the fact that you worked with Harvey Pekar.
