I ran across this copy of MUDMAN Volume 1 by Paul Grist while going through stuff in storage. Here's my thoughts about it.
#NowPlayingAtGhettoMangaHQ THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD by TankAndTheBangas
I fell in love with Tank (frontwoman of Tank and the Bangas) along with the rest of the world when the latest amazing band from NOLA appeared on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert Series in 2017. Equally comfy rhyming or crooning, the tiny artist whose vocals and lyrics are as heavy as her name has only blossomed into a more and more impressive artist since then.
Tank and the Bangas' new video There Goes The Neighborhood tackles one of the black community's most persistent specters with the cheerful melancholy I've come to expect from them.

"Can a Thug Be Born Again" by Corance Davis
He had a vision for a story we could do right then that wouldn’t compromise the main story of the Melanites comic. It would be a one-page story about what Born Again Thugs stood for.
That begs the question, what does Born Again Thugs stand for?

#NowPlayingAtGhettoMangaHQ MODUS OPERANDI by Napoleon Da Legend
People always ask me what I'm listening to, only to be disappointed that they never heard of the rhymers I eff wit.
One of the most prolific and high quality rhymers I know if is Napoleon Da Legend. His new record Modus Operandi is just the latest in a long line of dope records from a true underground legend.

Happy Birthday Peppermint Patty!
People often do a double take when I tell them that Charles Schulz is one of my influences as an artist. His strip PEANUTS, which spawned the wildly popular Charlie Brown cartoons, reveals Schulz's mastery of economy, something I always appreciate in great artists.
One of my favorite PEANUTS characters, the resident wild child Peppermint Patty, is celebrating a birthday today.
