I'm reluctant to highlight topical things in the blog too often, because I worry about taking things that are related to the ephemeral zeitgeist of the time and putting them in a permanent context where they might be viewed outside of their cultural position of temporal relevance blah blah but yes, that one is pretty impressive and worth highlighting.<br /><br />I wasn't previously familiar with Lore Sjoberg's work, but now I'm interested in checking it out.

BUT I'm surprised you featured him without highlighting his most recent (and most topical) entry http://www.angryflower.com/default.html which could have been inspired by my comment in another forum responding to the query "Where is Occupy right now?" by writing "Seeing the Tea Party on the verge of destroying America's financial system and thinking 'hmm, maybe they aren't such bad guys after all'." Or maybe Mr. Notley is just as smart as I am and much more snarky. I did just notice "Angryflower.com generously hosted by Brunching Shuttlecocks.com" which was co-founded by Lore Sjoberg, a web-based genius who has himself created a couple short-lived but "Worth Wreading" comics, archived on an almost-impossible-to-get-around site, most notably his self-portrait-y Lore Brand Comics that start in the archives here... http://badgods.com/view/aboutdrinking/Craig L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09056744522610944138noreply@blogger.com
