Arkholt's Tinylog

Read my thoughts, mostly notes on comic strip research

Finished a new esssay on Steve Gerber that I added to my blog as well as my Gemini capsule and gopherhole. I wasn't really a fan of Howard the Duck before, and didn't know much about Gerber, but after doing all the research for this essay I'm even less of a fan. I find the story to be fascinating, though.

Bought the archive subscription to The Comics Journal and am currently going through all the old issues looking for newspaper comic tidbits. There's not only more than I expected, but there's way more about Steve Gerber and the Howard the Duck comic strip than I expected.

Slowly going through the E&P issues, but have already found some interesting stuff. Also discovered that the full archive of Cartoonist PROfiles is on archive.org as well. It's only available to "borrow," which is frustrating, but at least it's available. A lot of info there you can't find elsewhere.

Now that there's all the hubbub over on the bird site, I've been rediscovering RSS. I used to check out RSS feeds a lot before I started using Twitter regularly. Now it seems like a good time to revisit them.

So uh... I discovered that every issue of Editor & Publisher from 1901-2015 is on archive.org by kind donation of E&P's current owner. I also discovered the official archive.org CLI tool that lets you do bulk downloads.

For the record, it took 10 hours.
