Have you heard of Kali Ciesemier? Her drawings are amazing.

Kate Beaton & Jesse Thorn
Kate Beaton is wonderful and she does the most expressive drawings. Just look at this (from Strange Tales II).
Hilarious. And simple. Simply hilarious.
Here’s the artist. (photo source)
Then there’s Jesse Thorn. This guy. (source)
I know him mostly from Put This On, a video podcast about menswear that used to be good. They seemed to have lost their sandwich, but that’s another story.
In any case, here’s an interview Jesse did with Kate that I found quite enjoyable.
Kate is amazingly talented. I got the opportunity to see her in person at SPX last September (Here’s an unfortunate picture of yours truly meeting another comic book hero to prove it).
She’s one of those people you realize are much younger than you are so why haven’t you done amazing things like they’ve done? You’ve had more time!
Anyway, go listen to that interview. What a voice, am I right? Cute, super-talented, and a low, sultry (if somewhat fried) voice. And she manages to do all this while Canadian.

Eliminating Desire
What are you doing?
Eliminating desire from my heart. It helps pass the time.
There’s probably another poster that Adventure Time is paying homage to that I am unaware of.
