A New Comics Journal Column/Columnist
There’s almost nothing the Spill likes more than a site that leads to other sites — and now there’s a new one. From The Comics Journal, July 26, 2019, “You Build Walls, We’re Gonna Probably Dig Holes (This Week’s Links)”— this new column of “links relating…to comics” by Ryan Flanders, who told us in his recent TCJ article about MAD, that he “was a member of the MAD Art Department, though my roles spilled into editorial, talent scouting and the amorphous responsibility of ‘coming up with new ideas.'” You’ll find a sprinkle or two of New Yorker cartoonists mentioned in this first column.
