Utilitarian Review 3/13/11 — The Tech Has Pants

Work Underway

We’ve got some technical work going on on the site today. Shouldn’t be too much interference, but there’s likely to be a bump or two.

So…while we get sorted, I’d urge you to check out Craig Fischer’s post on the Playwright over at the Panelists, closing out the massive crossblog Eddie Campbell week.

On HU

This week was mainly devoted to our Roundtable on Eddie Campbell’s Alec: The Years Have Pants.

We did slip in another couple of posts though:

Alex Buchet discussed a page from Winsor McCay’s Little Nemo.

Ng Suat Tong contemplated the limitations of Gary Panter’s criticism of Jack Kirby.

Also, there was a lot of interesting discussion on my post from last week about Maus.

Utilitarians Everywhere

At Splice Today I discuss Lucinda Williams and my youthful indiscretions.

Also at Splice I review… Ultraphallus!

And at Comixology, I do as Jeet Heer wishes and go all formalist with a discussion of sound effects in Tiny Titans
