Kate Beaton & Jesse Thorn

Fri, 04 May 2012 21:54:00 -0500

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.

There’s probably another poster that Adventure Time is paying homage to that I am unaware of.

science:

A computer simulation of what happens when two spiral galaxies collide. At various points, the simulation stops to show a comparison to pictures of actual galaxy pairs in the midst of this process, as seen from the Hubble telescope. In a few billion years, the Milky Way might undergo this process, merging with our largest neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy.

“Maybe you’re stuck because you’re not listening for the times when the really good ideas come. Because when you’re extremely torqued up, and when you’re extremely anxious, and when you’re feeling really crappy about what you’re capable of, is the worst time in the world to do anything creative.”
