If it's true, that makes 6000 on-schedule pages an even more amazing feat.

EXPLAIN PLZ
― David R., Monday, 21 April 2008 17:26 (sixteen years ago) link
also, so not googling "Judenhass"
― HI DERE, Monday, 21 April 2008 17:44 (sixteen years ago) link
OK, Judenhass is Dave's SUPER SECRET PROJECT #1 which is written by DAVE-THE-WANNABE-JEW rather than DAVE-THE-JEW-HATER and is a series of hyper-realistic (think Raymond school) images of Jews in the concentration camps backed out by text from world leaders (the Americans come out particularly badly in the WWII era) and 'great' thinkers through history about how the Jews are a blight on civilisation.
It's a very, very difficult work to read and, in fact, to critique. I think everyone should read it, but I can't (for the moment) think of a reason why.
― aldo, Monday, 21 April 2008 19:52 (sixteen years ago) link
I think everyone should read it
I have literally zero desire to do so.
― chap, Monday, 21 April 2008 20:40 (sixteen years ago) link
I believe that is what they call a 'truth bomb'
― Oilyrags, Monday, 21 April 2008 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link
I'd argue that it's utterly critique-proof, actually.
And I didn't think it was all that secret, since previews of it have been floating around the internet for nearly two months now. Hell, I read the whole of it more than a month ago at a local shop (one of the preview copies that were circulated early to build retailer support.)

Has anyone read (I think it was called) "Glamorpuss"? His satirical (presumably) look at fashion magazines? Pretty weird prospect...
― Niles Caulder, Saturday, 3 May 2008 04:16 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, except it isn't really. It's Dave doing something like Eddie Campbell was trying in Egomania with his 'History Of Comedy', it's Dave's version of the history and development of the Raymond School. It's actually pretty interesting, and very nice to look at (because it's Dave playing drirectly to his artistic strengths).
Definitely worth buying at the moment if you like that sort of thing.
Also, I missed that I should have responded above - SUPER SECRET PROJECT #1 was how Dave was referring to it in development, sorry, I wasn't implying nobody knew about it.

I really kinda dig it.
I just wrote this on my tumblr:
“
Unfortunately for me, there is an implied bargain in comic art: The presence of words juxtaposed with pictures draws the natural inference on the part of the reader that both together add up to a sequential narrative.
Flipping through the pages in a comic-book store, you’re going to think that this is a comic strip.
A natural inference which I’m making use of by putting my narration into these word balloons, thus creating the illusion that this is a comic-art story instead of what it is: A Raymond and Prentice “slide show” - third rate (at best) compared to their own but, outside of their extant original artwork, the only place where you can see what the “look” was made up of. ” —
Dave Sim, on page 9 of Glamourpuss #1.
I bought it on a perverse whim — I’ve yet to read Cerebus, but I was fascinated by what his new comic-book appeared to be: A parodic serial about the world of high fashion, created by a man who is largely understood to be a disturbed misogynist.
As you might have gleaned from this quote (I wish I could have just scanned from the page, but I don’t currently own a scanner), Glamourpuss is something very different, and much more strange. It’s basically a sketchbook in which Sim either replicates drawings by his favorite photo-realist cartoonists — Al Williamson, Alex Raymond, John Prentice, Stan Drake, Neal Adams — or draws images taken from (mostly current) fashion magazines in the style. The illustrations are arranged like a typical sequential comic, and accompanied by Sim’s musings on the history of the style and its artists, and an explanation of the project. There’s definitely some fashion parody, but most of the humor is quite self-deprecating.
Glamourpuss is self-indulgent to the extreme, but the artwork is gorgeous, and Sim’s writing is very engaging if you’re the type of person who tends to be fascinated by the process of obsessive artists.

well, I've always been fascinated both by his exquisite lines and inventive layouts as well as his profound respect for traditional gender roles and deep faith in a cruel and inscrutable Father-God.

He's completely lost touch of what literally anyone in the world besides him finds relevant, interesting, or indeed comprehensible.

OTOH his singing voice is marginally better than expected.

fake fan. Dave didn't "always" have a belief, let alone a deep faith, in God

The recommended videos when you check out that Youtube Dave Sim video are a trip or at the edge of the slide.
It is a strange and creepy time.
