Just had the great privilege of watching Alan Moore’s 2 hour+ video conference with backers of the Harvey Pekar Project. He was extremely charming, in his own way, and watching him pour a cup of tea, show off his polka dot shoes (made not from Dalmatians, but 5 very tiny cows), and speak at length about his prolific career was alternately inspiring and absurd. I loved every second.
While the entire session was imminently quotable, I share with you a few lines that brought a smile to my face:
“In my idea of the Universe, nothing is lost, everything is forever.”
“I like to appear in drag, so as not to disrupt the narrative.”
“It’s probably the best to suck up to minor celebrities, because they might be god.”
“The most sophisticated form of writing is a page of unillustrated text.”
“It means a lot to me to be able to do this for Harvey and to do this for Joyce.”
“No, I don’t hate this at all.”
Thanks to Alan, Joyce, Jeff, and so many others for making this possible.

Quote reblogged from Nerdgerhl: Year OneWell, Frank Miller is someone whose work I’ve barely looked at for the past twenty years. I thought the Sin City stuff was unreconstructed misogyny, 300 appeared to be wildly ahistoric, homophobic and just completely misguided. I think that there has probably been a rather unpleasant sensibility apparent in Frank Miller’s work for quite a long time.
Alan Moore
Man, I love Alan Moore just for existing more and more these days.

Amazing.

I’m a bit Amish. I don’t trust anything after the horse and buggy. The Internet brings communication to a more intense level, with increasing political ramifications from this kind of connectivity. It’s a fascinating social experiment, but I’d rather just keep out of the Petri dish. Kickstarter seems to be an entirely benevolent use of the Internet. Things like Harvey’s monument are a good way of taking the power and responsibility into the hands of the people.

HOLY SHIT ALAN MOORE. This just made my everything.

Alan Moore has come out of hiding to support the Harvey Pekar project. Join Alan for a “cup of tea and a long winter’s chat” by pledging to the project. Amazing!

Photo reblogged from I'm In Your Fort...
This “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: 1988” promo makes me angry. I want this to happen. Okay, @chrisstaros? Via Comics Alliance.

I keep falling for all these April Fool’s hoaxes. Need to figure out how to lower my earnest, wide-eyed excitement factor.

Alan Moore just launched a new underground mag called Dodgem Logic.The magazine’s website opens with a relatively lengthy video of Moore answering the question, “So Alan, what are you rebelling against?”
Moore looks every bit the inverted Santa (to quote a friend) and hopes to bring a bit of “liveliness, and color, and cheer” to the world with his latest literary endeavor. Dodgem Logic is inspired by underground magazine’s of the 60’s and will contain a mix of “underground but undervalued” local artists from Northampton, as well as some more nationally recognized talent.
You can buy the inaugural issue online for just 2.50 (pounds that is).
But really, the video of Alan Moore alone is something to behold, as is the art and music created for the website.
