“Update” for 8/10/16

Due to my busted scanner (I’m hoping to get a new one this week or next week, I just bought way too much furniture when I moved and am very broke at the moment) I’m not going to to review the new comic from Caitlin Cass yet. It’s about R.R. Whitehead, is another in her “Great Moments of Western Civilization” series and is so new that it’s not even on her website yet, but you should go there anyway and ask her if you can buy a copy. But I didn’t want to talk about it without any images attached, so the reviews is on hold. I did want to throw in some news (assuming anybody reads this far on the non-review posts): this month marks the 15th anniversary of Optical Sloth. Balloons, all the balloons! So I had a request to anybody who has been making comics for a very long time, like for example 15 years or longer (especially if I’ve already reviewed some of your books): send me the latest thing you did! I’d like to do a very tiny retrospective of some of the comic artists I’ve reviewed over the years, and having your most recent books would be most helpful. Or if that doesn’t work out (since this is ridiculously late notice to be throwing this out there), I’ll at least go through the reviews over this month and see for myself who I’ve been covering the longest and post links to their stuff. Oh, and there will also be another artistic improvement to the site soon, but that’s still top secret for now.
