That's the cover of the original, btw, not the printed version that may or may not happen. Heh.

maggots, what i've read of it from the ft website, looks awesome. i want i want i want i want.

ian, do you have any forcefield videos?

yeah maggots does look pretty rad. i bought the new ninja on a recommendation from a friend andit hasn't arrived yet, but it looked great.

― dean? (deangulberry), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't own any FF videos, but I've seen em and I like 'em. I also don't own Ninja 4, but I have the first three and they're pretty great. The first one is kind've inessential since it was made by BC when he was 11 or something. But 2 and 3 are awesome art-wise, even if the story is a little bit imcomprehensible.

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, i'm anticipating enjoying maggots on a solely visual level, which is fine. it'll still be worth way more than however much they're selling it for.

re: forcefield vids ... i bought that pick a winner dvd but it hasn't come in yet. do you have this? is it rad? it sounds great.

― dean? (deangulberry), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't have it yet, no. I bet it will be sweet though!

two months pass...

Tom Devlin of Highwater Books sent out a letter this morning to the cartoonists published by his company giving notice that Highwater will cease operations effective immediately. The Highwater on-line store operations are to continue until the end of the year.
Highwater was known for its eclectic line-up of unique art-comics talent, including Brian Ralph, Megan Kelso, Mat Brinkman, James Kochalka, and Ron Rege Jr.
The company's most widely circulated effort may have been Coober Skeber #2 -- The Marvel Benefit issue, where Highwater-related cartoonists did stories with Marvel characters in a humorous attempt to "aid" the then-struggling publishing giant. That book introduced many readers to a post-alternative generation of comics talent that with subsequent projects has since become much more familiar.
Books planned but not released by the company include Crum Bums, Maggots, I Pity You and SMB3.

John Porcellino recently announced his Perfect Example collection would receive a new edition from Drawn and Quarterly; no other moves have been announced.

Highwater Books founder Tom Devlin on why he's ending Highwater:

In the end, it just became more expensive and time consuming to run the company. I initially started Highwater as a way to promote my own comics and I've drawn virtually nothing in the past couple of years. It seems like there are new people coming up all the time publishing-wise (Buenaventura Press and Avodah Press) and distribution-wise (Global Hobo and USS Catastrophe) and artistically and they can fill the role that Highwater had just fine.

I'll probably work on doing some book packaging and drawing my own comics. That sort of thing. I'll still be around in comics. I'm not dropping off the grid in Northern Canada and working on my chainsaw sculpture or anything. I'll also be teaching at the Center for Cartoon Studies next fall.

Center for Cartoon Studies???

Maybe that's code for "the living room."

No! I keep meaning to but the book is so huge that I can't leave it somewhere I will see it and remember to read it. I've looked at the cover a lot though :(

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Thursday, 8 February 2007 18:15 (nineteen years ago)

haha.
it took me a while to get through it because it is too big to read in bed. it's great, though.
