> Belle & Sebastian Comic Due in 2006
> The British band Belle and Sebastian's leader, Stuart

> return his affection. Early next year, as the band releases
> its next album, Image will publish Put the Book Back On the
> Shelf: A Belle and Sebastian Anthology, a collection of short

> It'll be drawn by several dozen cartoonists, including Andi

Ugh. No Thrill Power to be found here, I bet.

What band's lyrics would make GOOD comics?

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 15:38 (twenty years ago)

Early Metallica.

The Fall.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 15:39 (twenty years ago)

Borbetomagus.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 15:40 (twenty years ago)

Dr. Octagon.

Captain Beefheart.

Syd Barret/pre-Meddle Floyd.

Jerry Lee Lewis.

Definitely, definitely not Belle and Sebastian.

The band's OLDER lyrics? What the hell's wrong w/ "Piazza, New York Catcher"?

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 15:42 (twenty years ago)

GG Allin.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 15:42 (twenty years ago)

Madness, if it was a Beano-style comic.

― chap who would dare to spy on his best mate's ex (chap), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 15:44 (twenty years ago)

Anyway, I see nothing wrong w/ Image reaching for the highly-coveted twee cuddlefuck demo (which I may or may not be a part of).

The Spawn soundtrack better be #3, though.

I'm sickened by this Belle and Sebsatian news btw.

I'd buy Kompakt Komics, where everything is in a tasteful shade of grey and printed on a dot matrix but I'd read The Amazing Nightwish which would be about lesbian goth dragons fighting yetis.

I'm kind of surprised that Green Day hasn't turned American Idiot into a comic book.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 20:10 (twenty years ago)

I'd buy a PWEI comic book all the way...

I eagerly await Frank Miller's collaboration with The Hold Steady.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 16:40 (twenty years ago)

Is that an Belle & Sebastian comic?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 16:46 (twenty years ago)

Strictly no... but it is something I drew once, which may as well be!

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 16:49 (twenty years ago)

there has already been a b&s comic strip telling the story of how they met - all the pictures on sinister list website are taken from it (and i should know - i scanned them in) (um, link to original is broken now, and after only 9 years...)

i have a Mouse single with a Ted McKeever cover, does that count?

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

B&S have a new comic coming out from Image in January or so.

― kit brash (kit brash), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:34 (twenty years ago)

nine months pass...

So, uhm, I got this and have read it. It's ok, cute, hit-and-miss as these anthologies are bound to be.

The first page sez "This book belongs to..." and then gives you a little space to fill your name in.

oh god.

:-D

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Friday, 29 September 2006 16:12 (nineteen years ago)

I laughed out loud.

― Matt Maxwell (Matt M.), Friday, 29 September 2006 17:57 (nineteen years ago)

this book belongs to a bedwetter

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Friday, 29 September 2006 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

Chris Ware does the same thing in Quimby the Mouse, except being Chris Ware he goes further and puts additional spaces for you to write the date of your grandmother's death and the name of the person who broke your heart.
