Topatoco
We Are Become Pals is a new book by Joey Comeau and Jess Fink. It’s the story of two awesome teenage girls, Jane and Helen, and their friendship and exploits. Much of it was published on Tumblr, and is now printed in this handsome hardcover edition. We recently asked Joey and Jess a few questions about the book, their friendship, and what makes teenagers so fun to write. TopatoCo: How did you two come to work together on this project? Joey Comeau: I approached Jess at TCAF with the idea of working together on a book about friendship! Jess Fink: I have been a fan of Joey’s writing for a long time, so basically there was no way I could say no when he asked me. TC: Both of you have work that involves teenagers, whether your own young self or fictionalized troublemakers. JF:I think you’ve got a lot of nervous energy when you are a teen. JC: Haha, it’s true. JF: Joey, will you be my friend?? JC: Jess, of course! TC: Joey, what influenced your decision to make the protagonists teenage girls?

Gag cartoon As the name implies—"gag" being a show business term for a comedic idea—these cartoons are most often intended to provoke laughter. Popular magazines that have featured gag cartoons include Punch, The New Yorker and Playboy. Some publications, such as Humorama, have used cartoons as the main focus of the magazine, rather than articles and fiction. Captions[edit] Captions are usually concise, to fit on a single line.

Traditionally, newspapers and magazines printed cartoons in black and white, but this changed in the 1950s when Playboy began to feature full-page, full-color cartoons in every issue. Books[edit] There are numerous collections of cartoons in both paperback and hardcover, notably The New Yorker collections.

Unbound: Gag comics that won’t make you gag by Brigid Alverson| February 16, 2010 @ 1:00 PM |7 Comments| The internet abounds in gag comics. The three- or four-panel gag strip is by far the dominant form, and you find it all over the web, both generic comics and those catering to various niches. So here is a sampling of gag comics that I have been reading lately. Bug is a minimalist comic that is all about the joke. Josh Way’s Strewth has even less continuity—the style varies from day to day, sometimes drawings, sometimes old photos. On the Edge has been around for quite a while, but creator Leisl Adams seems to have really hit her stride in the past two years. The gags are pretty mild in Squid Row, but it’s not so much a laugh-a-minute comic as a pleasant little stopover, the sort of thing you read because the characters are fun. Robot Beach is kind of like that too. Finally, Max vs.
