44 years ago, May 21 1979, over a dozen cop cars burned as thousands marched and rioted in San Francisco after word broke that Dan White received the most lenient verdict for murdering George Moscone and Harvey Milk. The evening would become known as the White Night riots

The fact that a panel for the Eisners met and saw merit in this art and story is extremely disappointing. Also, Best Lettering? Are we joking?!

There is absolutely no excuse for the Eisners or any other comic award to allow a jury this white to be making selections. Both the make-up of the jury itself, and their choice to nominate books like Woodruffโs, need to be addressed.

My only issue with the writers' strike targeting AI is that it needs to go further than the studios. Who's providing the AI that will be used to ruin writing? It's going to be companies like Google. Tech companies need to be dragged and boycotted for their attempts to sell it.

Let's talk briefly about language, colonialism, and sexuality. Every instance of the word "feral" in descriptions of this book really mean "savage". The author has created a typical savage boy trope and tried to apply a surrealist lens to obscure that.

I'm not even touching the writing, which reads like the worst marketing copywriting, or the illustrations where a child's body is clearly being sexualized for the audience's aesthetic enjoyment. This is some nostalgia for a grosser pre-1970s surrealism.
