In the February 2018 issue of Artforum, Dan Nadel (@pictureboxbooks) untangles the art of Christina Ramberg, an oeuvre marked by a “fierce attention to structural integrity and an unflinching exploration of the female body.” https://t.co/l4ChzH1770
The comic strip Nancy, writes @PictureBoxBooks, was “always governed by Ernie Bushmiller’s private comedic rules: 3 rocks are funnier than 2; Nancy’s hair never has fewer than 69 or more than 107 spikes; the scenery...must be hand-drawn but always generic.”https://t.co/MKQrHEUm6K
“Every cartoonist has a guiding obsession. [Ernie] Bushmiller’s was constructing the perfect gag. He built Nancy from back to front, starting with the punch line...and then working his way back to the beginning.” —@PictureBoxBooks https://t.co/Q95TI95SOL

@DennisThePerrin Hi Dennis- I loved Mr Mike and wonder if I could contact you to ask a couple questions, specifically about 0’Donoghue’s take on Crumb. Would you message me if so? Thanks so much.
