“Io e Wallie”, Walter Petrone (in arte Wallie) sa quanto sto in chiusa per la lavorazione del mio prossimo libro per Feltrinelli, e ha disegnato lui il fumetto di questa settimana 💔 enjoy! 

When I was an academic, I would receive “edits” on my manuscripts. Usually these took the form of paragraphs about what I should include more of (“you must integrate findings form Scholar McScholar’s monograph published in 1954 before it can be published”), what I got wrong (“this is a misreading of Adorno’s definition of ideology”), and maybe a comment or two in the margins (“The CIA, not literary theorists, ‘interrogate’).

When I started writing for trade publications, I realized that editing could be much, much, more intensive–and fun. Editors would actually make the changes to correct my summary of Adorno! They would move the last sentence of a paragraph to the first and suddenly everything made more sense! They would correct my dangling modifiers and not even shame me for creating them.

I loved–and still love– being edited heavily and often. It helps the content of my writing, but it also improves my writing per se, and allows me think about my style, voice, and use of rhetorical forms (arguments, analysis, etc.)  in new ways.

THIS IS SO COOL

woah

This is from ‘Beasts of Burden’, a really cool comic about a bunch of dogs (and one cat) protecting their town from the supernatural things that threaten it. It’s spooky and sad and really just fantastic. At one point they teamed up with Hellboy. Everyone should read it (if you don’t mind some pretty dark things happening. it is not a cheerful comic but it is a good one).

Hey! So, I loved this comic, and still think about it occasionally, and tonight it was linked to me again with just the right timing so that I hyperfocused and squirreled off to go read everything! They aren’t really numbered well, but the Wikipedia page has a list of them in release order and what anthologies to find them in!

But given that it’s a pain to seek out each one one by one, I’ve got a list of links in order a smidge further down! Please try to support Dark Horse Comics if you can, but if you’re broke like me and still want to read, the Internet is a beautiful place. According to the wiki page, there are at least two more installments to come, scheduled for May 1st and June 5th, but there’s no real update schedule for the series as a whole.

Do note: they are graphic, gory, and sad, with a lot of body horror. But they’re really fantastic.

Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites contains:
1. Stray
2. The Unfamiliar
3. Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
4. A Dog and His Boy
5. The Gathering Storm
6. Lost
7. Something Whiskered This Way Comes
8. Grave Happenings

9. Sacrifice (Hellboy Crossover)

Beasts of Burden: Neighborhood Watch contains:
10. Food Run
11. Story Time
12. The View From The Hill (the one in this post!)

13. Hunters and Gatherers
14. What The Cat Dragged In
15. Wise Dogs and Eldritch Men

The trade collection for “Wise Dogs and Eldritch Men” came out a couple of weeks ago, btw.

“Neighborhood Watch” is due out in October and contains more stories than listed above (including the Hellboy crossover).

This is one of my favorite series ever and I’m so glad it’s finally getting proper collections instead of one-off anthology appearances.

Warning, though, the story about Hazel and her pups will *destroy* you.

“Lighten Up” by Ronald Wimberly

Beautifuly written- and drawn.
