It is the season of the List (Yeah!)

It's the end of the year, the best of times and the worst of times. That point has come when we prepare ourselves for what is to come (and relive our past traumas) by making lists.

For your consideration, here are a few carefully selected random lists:

1. A list of names for the next decade in comic strip form… Yey.  — via Dieselsweeties

see more hipster robot webcomics and pixel t-shirts


Also a list of decades, from the 17th century BC until the 22nd, Who would have thought that time moves in such gracious, eternal cycles?
—from Wikipedia.

2. You are what you read— Stereotyping readers by their favourite author is the bookworms' equivalent to choosing your friends by their preference in shoes. Even though Lauren Leto does it very well and with a huge pinch of salt thrown in.

3. A list (in Pictures) of tastes exploding in peoples mouths and how yummy tastes affect our expression. Probably mostly from commercials.

—Via FNH

4. A list of things that did not happen quite as expected in 2009. This one's a bit dry, and mostly concerned with politics. —From Foreignpolicy.com

5. Finally, as it is somewhat akin to diplomacy, a list of Bizarre Sex Toys. You stand warned.
—Originally brought to my attention by Tasmo.. but to be found on Cracked.com

IGAF: An ahistoric crisis?

One of the many reasons I have grown to appreciate interviews with Arundhati Roy over the last year of what I'm calling her book tour is that, in contrast with many speakers at conferences and interviewees, I never have the feeling she is trying to sell me something. She speaks in a calm, collected voice, full of knowledge, experience and occasional wisdom, without being desperately full of herself. One of my favourite sayings is, so far, goes something like "The most successful revolution was the secession of the rich onto a global planet, wherefrom they cannot see the poor. There is no more India, no more USA, no more Europe- there is planet Rich, then there is planet Poor, and both are global."* Carers at their limits- now more than ever. For €2400 and some chocolates?  A month or so into what may be a new normal, my life is still pleasant- with some adjustment, I am, so far, privileged in this absence of change and an ability to follow the crisis as I would fol...

The Books of Faragh Vol. 3: Of March 2020

The May Issue is available at  Modern Graphics in Oranienstr., Berlin.  It's all about lines.  Below: The April Issue of the Book of Faragh.  The comic I chose for this month was "L'Arabe du Futur 2 (1984—1985)" by Riad Sattouf. If the first volume is anything to go by, the second one (in French this time) should continue to be a thought-provoking journey through a youth in Syria and France.
