Comics crit stuff
A while back, James Leask, on his then-podcast, said that he valued David Brothers being the kind of comics critic that didn't do much work, but meant all the work he did. That he didn't release a new article constantly, but when he did, people said "hey, David Brothers wrote something today." That his work was something that was infrequent, but always talked about. He spoke when he had something to say.
And thinking about it, that's what I aspire to. Can't make a living that way, but in terms of critical expression, I feel that I'm at my best when I have a lot to say about a weighty tome of work.
Anyways: I wrote about Kate Beaton's graphic memoir, DUCKS, today. https://shelfdust.com/2022/10/10/lost-in-away-notes-on-kate-beatons-ducks-two-years-in-the-oil-sands/
