It’s nice that we’re getting a borrow of the Bayeux Tapestry, but it would be amazing if they displayed it at the Cartoon Museum.

I'm launching a newsletter! Observation Deck (real ones know) is home to my thoughts about all sorts of nerdy pop culture and entertainment journalism. My first blog is about the new Ghost in the Shell, and how its reverence for the original manga lets it play with some boundary-breaking ideas.

The Digital Boundaries of the New 'Ghost in the Shell'

Science Saru's spin on 'Ghost in the Shell' goes straight back to the manga—and celebrates the digital borders it frequently crosses.

We all know Ditko was a master of character design but I feel like he doesn't get enough credit for crafting Spider-Man's most visceral and visually interesting shorthand to immediately convey an action or emotion to the reader.

Really love the sound effects! Many early books from Titan Manga used just one or two bad fonts, poorly positioned over the art and original sound effects. Hiring a letterer makes a huge difference!

This book was also my first attempt at doing all hand-drawn sfx. (I really wanted to replicate the hand-drawn look from the original book.) Thankfully for me this series doesn’t have super crazy sfx. 😅 So here’s a little collage of most of the sfx

Record Journey volume 1 is out in English now. The Japanese volumes have super cool book design, so I wanted to see how they compare. The biggest visual difference is the gloss finish. Colors appear much brighter, and there's less texture in the image compared to the Japanese matte dust jacket.

Japanese and English editions of the manga Record Journey volume 1. It shows two women standing in a record store. The Japanese edition is on the left, English on the right. The Japanese edition is a matte finish with duller colors. The English edition has a glossy finish and bright colors.

The back covers of the English and Japanese volumes of Record Journey.

I'm so fatigued by all of this. None of it feels good. None of it feels useful. Our politics has been completely subsumed by the post-Zuckerberg digital disinfo-commentariat sphere that it's tantamount to a spectator sport, designed for maximum clicks, not governance.

Hey bsky! If you didn’t know already, we’re making a romcom! A heated, queer romcom set at a wedding! If you like romance, comedy, heists, hating billionaires or ridiculous farces, you should check out #WorstManOGN! Written/drawn by us, logo and lettering by the incredible @gofrankgo.bsky.social!

The cover to Worst Man. A handsome, skinny white guy with red hair, wearing a red suit, black shirt and orange tie is front and centre, toasting the camera. He's clearly been caught by a burly guy with olive skin and black curly hair, who's wearing a purple suit jacket, white shirt and purple tie. The burly guy is sat in a gigantic wedding cake, with the implication being he fell backwards into it catching the skinny guy. As a result the cake is collapsing around them, but the skinny guy's foot is holding up the cake topper, which is cartoony representations of a bride and groom.

A comic page of 8 panels.

PANEL 1: a photograph of a group of people disembarking a fancy boat onto a jetty.

GUY (CAPTION): I was contracted to work this wedding, which let me tell you is stressful at short notice.

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): Contracted?

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): Who the hell contracted you?

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): What is it you even do?!

PANEL 2:

A cut-out panel of the guy one arm draped over the back of his chair, the other hand gesturing. He’s grinning charmingly.

GUY: I’m the Worst Man.

INTERROGATOR (OFF PANEL): …the what?

INTERROGATOR (OFF PANEL): And how did you get free?

PANEL 3:

The guy is flashing a grin and showing his hands in a shrug.

GUY: Oh, come on, I talk with my hands.

PANEL 4:

The guy is holding his hand in a “so-so” gesture.

GUY: Ok, so.

GUY: Sometimes there’s a couple that are settling, right?

PANEL 5:

The guy is pulling a “yikes” expression.

GUY: They’ve convinced they’re happy, they’re forever happy.

PANEL 6:

The guy is looking serious.

GUY: A friend or family member knows they aren’t, but doesn’t want the social fallout of pointing it out.

PANEL 7:

The guy is lazily gesturing to himself.

GUY: So they hire me to reveal the truth in a more subtle way, before they get married.

PANEL 8:

The guy is looking up.

INTERROGATOR (OFF PANEL): So why are you involved here?

GUY: In this case, the story goes back a while.

A comic page with 4 panels.

PANEL 1:

A sprawled dossier showing research on a couple; a cis woman and a trans woman.

GUY (CAPTION): Several years ago I was contracted to work on Galatea Telford and Merritt McElligott—

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): That’s the bride’s sister, not the bride.

GUY (CAPTION): Uh, yeah. What’s your point?

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): So she’s not who I’m asking about.

GUY (CAPTION): Patience. This is background.

PANEL 2:

A shot of the guy talking to Merritt and Galatea around a school teacher’s desk, planning some sort of schedule.

GUY (CAPTION): So I got a temp job at the school where Merritt and Galatea work.

PANEL 3:

A shot of the three of them in a bar, with some other people. All of them are laughing except the guy, who’s a little more detached.

GUY (CAPTION): Even met some of their friends.

PANEL 4:

A shot of Merritt and Galatea back at the teacher’s desk, flirting. The guy is looking in through the door, a small, sad smile.

GUY (CAPTION): But what I was coming to learn was—

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): Enough. I’m dying of old age here.
