Well... this fellow Shane Prigmore pretty much sums up why I love animation. And art. He is in charge of making characters have emotions. What sort of job is that? That is a job? Wha?

YOW! Mat Brinkman's astonishing serial comic MULTIFORCE, which was in Paper Rodeo back in the day (what, four years ago?) is now finally available as a book! Well all right!
Plus, I like this postcard by prolific Fantagraphics book editor Jacob Covey, and it also looks like Seth's postcards. So I thought it sort of fit.

I hope everyone loves Thomas Herpich drawings as much as me... but did you know he shares a blog with his brother? And that his brother is also very spirited and talented?
Now you know!
Drawn videos by Marc Bell? Awesome! Where? Here! Great!

Sorry I'm Late! great stop-motion from Tomas Mankovsky - thanks to Boing Gboing for finding it first... I especially love the "making of" trial runs. Next snow day with the kids, I know what we're doing.
More cleverness here. Warning: robot movie comes with an EASTERN-EUROPEAN-STYLE SAD ENDING. Don't share with small children unless they are nihilists already.
Afanasy Nikitin was the first Russian to explore India, which he wound up doing in about 1466.
In history books you will find very little about his dealings with the Shuisky sisters, or Alnus Rugosa, or Das Brick, because I made them up.
Ali Qushji and Perkin Warbeck and Jami the Persian Poet were real people, who sadly never really had anything to do with Russia or Afanasy Nikitin. The Kreml, while a real place, was probably not as fun as it appears herein.
So abandon all pretence of learning about historical Russia, ye who enter here.
