Comix!!

[prog]

• Scored good stuff on eBay last night.
  • Dan O'Neill's first Odd Bodkins comic-strip collection, Hear the Sound of My Feet Walking Drown the Sound of My Voice Talking. My second attempt to get it from eBay, and I definitely spent more money on it than I ever have on a single comic book, but no matter: I believe that this will complete my collection of all two Odd Bodkins books. I stumbled across the second one (The Collective Unconscious of Odd Bodkins) nine years ago at a used bookshop in Bangor, and it did a lot to drive my cartoonist dreams of the day.
  • Young Lust, a 1971 work by Bill Griffith (the "Zippy the Pinhead" guy). Half-expecting to be not really all that impressed by it, but it was worth five bucks just for bragging rights (bragging to whom, exactly? the jealous people in my head).
• Found explodingmikan's comic/thesis Making Rain in my mailbox upon arrival at work today! (I had forgotten that I gave her my work address instead of my home address.) Haven't opened the envelope yet; looking forward to it.

Hooray! You'll have to tell me what you think of it.

and I am actually kind of jealous of your Bill Griffith find, so there. :P
