Cultural Osmosis Fan Art #2: The Handmaid’s Tale
In the future, women and men are separated by big gray walls. The women’s sides of walls are the more oppressive: littered with unnecessary rocks, ugly cracks upon the facades, and scowling slave masters. And most regrettably, the color red is a rare treat — whereas on the men’s sides, red is plentiful enough to adorn even grand buildings. It’s a miserable life.

EBBITS #1 is almost complete! But I need something from you! LETTERS!
I’m putting a letters page in EBBITS #1, and I would like real people to write in with questions or comments, directed towards anyone in the EBBITS cast or to the editor (me). There is a good chance I will replace your name with a fake one, so please let me know if you want to keep your real name! I will also give you a fake location.
Please send replies to my ask box or to mlitven Ⓐ gmail • com

Strike a blow for good. Donate.
CAKE looks like it’s going to be awesome. So many good people. I’m hoping to find my way out there if work allows! Support.

Cultural Osmosis Fan Art #1: Dune
Under an alien sun (shown in the top-left), a few lone humans (bottom-left) wander a great expanse of sandy DUNES to get to the sacred tree (middle right) that bears SPICE. They need the SPICE to power their various green buildings (shown here and there). Meanwhile, some gross sandworms (middle left) attempt to break out of their observation-bubble-prison. The horse in the middle is just for fun.
How could i draw in peace the raccoons of my children book ?
My comics (including warehouse finds of out-of-print Laisse tomber les filles) are available at the new Colosse webshop. If you’re allergic to french, don’t worry: Laisse tomber, Brousse and Le Wagon engourdi are all wordless. Tons of awesome, hard-to-find-elsewere artists I edited/published as well: Julie Delporte, Jimmy Beaulieu, Sophie Yanow, Michael DeForge (in french!) and lots more.
I feel like so many contemporary comics already feel.. lost or undervalued when viewed in the context of a dashboard. Wish that wasn’t the case.
That’s why I’d like to revisit some of the webseries and shorts I’ve found influential from the last few years. Queuing them up from the beginning. Hopefully providing a secondary chance to get into and think about a strip/work.
Open to all suggestions.

Grain of Sand Comix

Small Bits of Infinity
“Grain of Sand” was part of my apprenticeship as an underground cartoonist, a way to combine my love for old newspaper comics with a stab at making it all contempo by grafting some taboo subject matter onto the old form. A full broadsheet page in the centerfold of the Gothic Blimp Works was a strong lure, and I gave the page everything I had (which at that time was not much more than giving it hours of fine-line Rapidograph patterning). I wish I’d had the stamina and focus to explore “Festoria” further, instead of just making a one-shot teaser, but there were drugs to take and communes to join. Hey, it was the late 1960s, and I was 21.

Ran across this article while googling old RAW covers. It’s always nice to get a glimpse of a beginning.

Hello, my name is AD and this is a comic I am currently working on. What is it about? I’m not telling. What is it for? I’m not telling that either, just let me say that a mysterious man named “slongo” is involved. Thank you for looking at the above image. Time and time again people look at the internet, and I want to thank them.
