Serienett om Gokk

Det eminente nettstedet Serienett tok for seg nyeste nummer av Larson nå nylig:

Tredje del av Karstein Volles Gokk viser Volle i et annet hjørne enn Fakta fra verden. Opptakten i Larsons Gale Verden nr. 1 og 2/2008 førte oss inn i en verden der bygdenorge, skumle hendelser og flygende tallerkener står i sentrum. Dette er et friskt bidrag til heftet, og Gokk viser at Karstein Volle også kan skape grøss og gru samtidig som en porsjon ironisk avstand til handlingen ivaretas. Dette vil vi ha mer av – og gjerne samlet i etterkant!

Jeg setter hatten kjekt på snei, takker hjertelig Serienett for godord, tenner opp snadden og fortsetter med siste episode av Gokk. Deadline mandag.

The torture playlist

Check out Mother Jones, quoting interviews, reports and investigations, to compile the playlist interrogators at Guantanamo bay are using for sleep deprivation, disorientation and "prolonged capture shock".

I mean, we don't really talk about Guantanamo bay that much anymore, but it's still there.

Mickey, the beast in the Revelations. Enjoy.

Nokia firmware upgrade kills bluetooth

Upgraded the firmware on my n73, which wiped my calendar and my adress book.

No prob, I just sync it via bluetooth with my mac, right?

Wrong. It just doesn't work anymore, thanks to the firmware upgrade.

Thanks a bunch, Nokia.

(in other words- if you are using n73 + iSync - don't upgrade your phone firmware, ok?)

Jason in NYT

Pride of Norway, Jason, has started a western project in the New York Times weekend supplement. Go here to check out the two installments available of Low Moon. Looking good.

Boktid pilot

Just saw the pilot for Boktid - the tv programme i am making comics for. It's fantastic, makes me wonder why there's so few programmes about literature on tv.

This stuff should be mandatory. Proud to be part of this.

Have you got Have You Got It Yet? yet?

Fans of early Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett will be glad to know that internet group the Laughing Madcaps just released volume 1 and 2 of Syd Barrett compilation Have You Got It Yet. It's great, it's chock-full of mind-melting sonics, fractured lyrics and it's free. Including gems like the Peel session of Scream Thy Last Scream, unavailable anywhere else.

Go here to torrent.

GOKK episode 4

Heads up

Anyone with even a passing interest in the medium of the serial pictorial narrative should read Ben Katchor.

Just sayin'.
