I don't think he ever was with Tortoise, but in any case, I came into the comments to fill Ed and Jim in on Archer Prewitt. He made some albums as a solo artist as well.
Thank you so much for shining a spotlight on this book. I had to order a copy right away. 6$ with free shipping on amazon (normally I wouldn't order from them) When i woke up this morning i had to recheck to see if this video and book weren't a dream
My first exposure to a lot of these artists was actually just looking through the weird and wild stuff in the Kitchen Sink Press catalog, back when I was in middle school.
I took Ivan Brunetti's class at Columbia Art collage back in 2008. He was by far my most memorable teacher, and I can't thank him enough for introducing me to the world of underground comics. I would love to show him my portfolio now over 10 years later. lol .
Great book!!! I've got it at time and it was a importante resource about some of my favorite comic artists. Never related too seriously about the original source, but I've bough the last two numbers of Comic Arts also around that time. Curiously, last year I've got lucky and bought nº4, mostly because of the Kaz insert. Kudos for the video.
Yale also published the really amazing "An Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, and True Stories". It really has a lot of great stuff. I believe there's also a second volume of it, although I haven't read that one.
Speaking of 'The Early Comic Strip' in the Crumb section--An interview with David Kunzle would be amazing! If he's still with it, I'm sure he'd be an incredible well of information about the deep history of comics.
I got the paperback edition when it came out; just stumbled across it in a bookstore as if it had dropped out of the sky. It seems as if many comics artists, mainstream or alternative, are deeply imprinted by their childhood fixations. But you have to be a weird breed of kid to get fixated on Thomas Nast or low key magazine cartoonists from before you were born. These guys were exceptional in their vision of what was good art well before they could call themselves artists. That Glenn Bray book is phenomenal. I look forward to your coverage.
I must be in the minority, cause I like getting into the weeds and hearing about the industry workings more than listening about the famous characters. I like to hear about the guys that made the characters/product.
I am perfectly happy if you quit the Wizard coverage. All your other features are of greater value to me, and I imagine to you also. Cartoonist Kayfabe is important to my creative work and I suspect I am not alone. Best of health for you and yours.
This is pure gold for any thoughtful cartoonist, thank you for your service.
I have just received the book via eBay and I have never had a audio commentary for a book but wow that was fun. Thank you guys I needed that
Paused at 4:50 just to say that WE WANT THE COMIC ART EPOSIDES PLEASE. LOVE YOU GUYS
Archer Prewitt is also a guitarist in the fantastic Sea and Cake!
I would definitely love to see you guys explore more stuff like this!!!
Pulling this one back off the shelf tonight, another excellent video gentlemen.
Comic Art is hands down my favorite comic magazine.
This was one of the few books a managed to get from the Billy Ireland Library sale feeding frenzy.
Archer Prewitt was in a band called The Cocktails and also played with another band called Tortoise. Multi talented artist

Hell yeah! Love this book and I LOVED Comic Art Magazine. Thanks, fellas.
Thanks gentlemen! I love this book. Constantly pulling out of my bookshelf for a reread.
DOPE episode! never wrote down so many names to search!
This is such a great video, thank you. I remember finding books like these, sort of "art books" and it being so inspiring.

Jim Woodring also mentions Famous Monsters of Filmland in the awesome Illumination of Jim Woodring documentary that just came out.
An amazing video thank you!!!!

FWIW, I love the stuff that’s “in the weeds”. Love them weeds.
just saw this vid, ivan brunetti is my professor currently he teaches at columbia college in chicago not the school of the art institute (thank god)
Basil Wolverton is untouchable. I just came across a bunch of Wierdo comix - can’t wait to dig in them.
PLEASE get Gary Panter on
yes i would enjoy if you commented more about this magazine
Please do a shoot interview with Gary Panter! What an amazing artist/dude.

This is a great book! I have it as well. Awesome content, guys.

Top content, fellas! Do that Sof' Boy ep!
Sweet! Another great video that will cost me a few bucks.
Book: Ordered. ✔
Love this book, especially the Xaime part. I like how unpretentious his comments are. Maybe the first time I read about Owen Fitzgerald.
PLEASE do "Breakdowns" - a great book!
Jay Disbrow is AMAZING
These episodes are not just for yall by the way. These spotlights are the peek of this channel in my opinion
I prefer Comic Art type of subject to Wizard magazine, but I love the show either way. Variety is the spice of life!
this is cool as shit to me, a real motherfucker who will never die.
Todd hignite is an easy search term for ebay... search "comic art," I dare ya 😋

what is written in that frank king xmas card?
Another reason Black Flag was huge is because they started the SST label and the cops busting their shows!
Heyyyy!!!!!!
goddamn is Jim a anarchist?
