YET
MORE ARTISTIC MEDIOCRITY
Hello
there!
Came
across your site thru Cool
and Strange Music. Very funny! In the case of "Coffee
Table Book Artists," in Canada we have an artist named Robert Bateman
who has been releasing the same awful "mall"-style oil paintings of geese
and beavers for about 20 or so years now and his coffee table books make
a fortune! Check him out if you want to add to your list!
Keep
up the great work!

GET
INTO THE TOON ZONE
Hello,
I
would like to nominate ToonZone.net
for your pop-culture website. Yes, you have posted about Jerry Beck's
site,
which is primarily animation, but Toon Zone is different. They have answered
a few of my e-mails in the past and are really a great group of people.
In fact, I get most of my animation news there first. People like Brian
Cruz, Harley, Colin, Jim Harvey, Vincent Benenati, Joe Wagner, William
C. Maune, and their entire news-staff people are great. Whenever I want
the latest animation scoop, I go there. What truly makes Toon Zone so
special though is it is completely fan-run. These guys are not out to
make a profit. Toon Zone is turning four next week, I think, and I think
it would be a great way to wish the guys a happy birthday, but nominating
them. Well, that's just me.
But,
anyway, keep up the great job. I just found your site through Cartoonresearch.com
and I will be sure to check it out again.

A
VOTE FOR THE ATLANTIC
The
Decline of Western Magazine Design: "The great magazines of the past
combined strong editorial objectives with brilliant design. While such
intentions can still be witnessed in magazines like Smithsonian
or the New Yorker, they are rarities."
I
was sad to see no mention of The Atlantic Monthly in the above
excerpt.
It
surely belongs.

Sadly,
only five copies are left of PopCult #0, which I printed at great
expense as part of a marketing kit to lure gullible publishers into backing
it as a magazine. I'm sure there are dozens of copies now littering landfills
on the east and west coasts. So, unless you're an open-minded publisher/bored
millionaire itching to start a new magazine, I'm afraid I must hoard the
last few tear-stained copies.
