While waiting for the fog to clear from my Sunday
Morning Brain, I usually scroll through the work of comic book artists. Today
was William Stout Day, and after the cursory Google Image search, I clicked
over to his website for a closer look.

The site includes a journal, which I
didn’t hold out much hope for — most artists don’t have a facility for words,
and are understandably stingy about posting artwork online.
Three hours later,
I forced myself to finally close the browser. Holy Moly, what a trove! Stout posts
artwork (his and others), he critiques and analyzes (his recent posts on Moebius are delicious), he reminisces about his days
working in La-La Land, he interviews, he writes (prolifically — check out the man's book) about the Blues.
But enough of my yakking: go check him out yourself.
And speaking of comics, this piece by Daniel Rasmus about the bygone era of the Star Trek
daily strip has piqued my interest. The strip is considered non-canonical — primo
catnip to Yours Truly.
Unfortunately, the collection consists of not one but
two(!) pricey(!!) coffee-table(!!!) books. Yo, IDW — call me when you release
the digital version, please.

Got around to looking at some of this last night. Dangerous! But thank you.
Wondering if I have it in me to say something about Moebius sometime. Right now I doubt it.
