I Didn't Write That!: Creative Advice
http://jlroberson.blogspot.com/2014/10/creative-advice.html
I Didn't Write That! You want to, I know. And it's understandable. You feel you should take in the whole experience. It would be easy and quick to look down, surely. And if you don't, how could you really understand the yawning immensity you're overcoming? How can you really feel the awe you should so you know how brave you are, how great your achievement is while you're having it? If you don't look down then it's just a walk like any other, and couldn't anyone do that? So don't look down till you have.

I Didn't Write That!: From the Archives: Count Dracula (BBC, 1977)
http://jlroberson.blogspot.com/2014/10/from-archives-count-dracula-bbc-1977.html
I Didn't Write That! From the Archives: Count Dracula (BBC, 1977). And now the yearly repost of a treat for Halloween. My favorite version of Dracula. By Philip Saville and Gerald Savory. Which I first saw when I was 8 (as mentioned here. Sometimes this ends up good, like with both versions of Nosferatu. Other times it's mangled, like most of the 1931 version or Coppola's pretty debacle. Which is why I draw them so often on women. Quincy is played with the worst American accent you've ever heard, but try...

http://jlroberson.blogspot.com/2014/11/novecento-aka-1900-bertolucci-1976.html
I Didn't Write That! Novecento aka 1900 (Bertolucci, 1976) Updated-Complete Version. Bernardo Bertolucci's grand, messy but incredibly lovely socialist historical epic melodrama, and one of my very favorite films. Not least of which for the brief but memorable role of Stefania Casini, whom readers of this blog and my comics know as the model for my version of Wedekind's Lulu. This is the English version, and thanks to Paramount, now the whole 5 hour version is free to watch. Here you go! Interview by Tim...

I Didn't Write That! New Cartoon: Robert Smith's Waitress (pencil). Not much blogging. Where have I been? Hard at work on completing the next chapter of LULU. As well as assembling the next THIS SICKNESS. Which will include that, Suzy. And maybe even a little Emily Kaplan. Also wrote an essay on Dave Sim and Cerebus. For an upcoming Sequart book, and then here's this silly thing I just sketched. Might ink it later. (click to expand). Para; Friday, February 20, 2015. Nice Thanks for sharing.

I Didn't Write That!: The Sony Hack: Seriously, Stop Pissing Your Pants, America (UPDATED)
http://jlroberson.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-sony-hack-seriously-stop-pissing.html
I Didn't Write That! The Sony Hack: Seriously, Stop Pissing Your Pants, America (UPDATED). In their initial public statement. M]onetary compensation we want," the email read. "Pay the damage, or Sony Pictures will be bombarded as a whole. You know us very well. We never wait long. You'd better behave wisely.". Oh Jesus. Are we really this stupid? Looks like Charlie Brooker is a prophet. It was not the US. It was Sony. Do you think North Korea would miss an opportunity to seem scary and competent at somet...

I Didn't Write That!: "East of Eden" (ABC miniseries, 1981)
http://jlroberson.blogspot.com/2014/08/east-of-eden-abc-miniseries-1981.html
I Didn't Write That! East of Eden" (ABC miniseries, 1981). Segueing from discussing Crumb's adaptation of the book of Genesis. To a famous American masterpiece that uses Genesis for its allegorical structure. All from an agnostic! And another brief stroll through my childhood. I saw ABC's very thorough adaptation of Steinbeck's EAST OF EDEN. If you haven't seen this, tuck in and treat yourself. Here's all 6 hours. One of the better miniseries from the heyday of the form.

I Didn't Write That! Alan Moore/Kevin O'Neill-League of Extraordinary Gentlemen- Century 1969. Is out, and it's excellent. Set in the height of the Swinging Sixties.

I Didn't Write That! Mystery Equals Power: A Couple of Thoughts on Sexism Watching Terry Jones' MEDIEVAL LIVES. Watching Terry Jones' MEDIEVAL LIVES, a particular fact in the "Damsel" episode (here's the video cued up to the pertinent bit.
