A few words on Aline Kominsky-Crumb:

Sammy Harkham talks about his new graphic novel, “Blood of the Virgin,” which chronicles the adventures of an aspiring filmmaker in 1970s Los Angeles. Read an interview with the cartoonist, and an excerpt from his new book: nyer.cm/1R9lHbj

Dan Nadel (Dan Nadel) on Ernie Bushmiller’s Nancy, the comic strip that, in the words of Zippy the Pinhead creator Bill Griffith, “tells you what it’s like to be a comic strip.” go.nybooks.com/3I4c4vK

“Every cartoonist has a guiding obsession. [Ernie] Bushmiller’s was constructing the perfect gag. He built Nancy from back to front, starting with the punch line...and then working his way back to the beginning.” —Dan Nadel go.nybooks.com/3uHmm1H

The comic strip Nancy, writes Dan Nadel, was “always governed by Ernie Bushmiller’s private comedic rules: 3 rocks are funnier than 2; Nancy’s hair never has fewer than 69 or more than 107 spikes; the scenery...must be hand-drawn but always generic.”go.nybooks.com/3wB3XnC
