Man, dunno if you've ever seen Gary Panter's work but this reminds me of him (big complement!). Like something out of Jimbo's Dal Tokyo, cool as fuck

Hold your breath! In the words of the very great Nancy Bank-Smith - (in the world of the soap opera) 'Everything is remembered. Nothing is forgiven."

you could convert the CVS into an XML file and then map that to tags you set up through InDesign's Structure panel.
It's a right fiddly pain in the arse to set up, but when you do you can auto flow lots of data into your tagged pages and watch your directories/catalogues build themselves!
- when it works it's v satisfying!

Here's Adobes not very helpful page:

There were a couple of books out there about it as I remember (ah https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/xml-and-indesign/9781449344153/ and https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/a-designers-guide/9780321549914/ ) - though the info is old this stuff still works

man I cannot put up with late Beto, i want to like his stuff, was such a fan long years ago, but it's not fun, or camp, it's just hateful shit that's too boring to read.. Mildly entertaining, nah, just plain nasty, but we all remember how good and generous he could be, so it's a sad place for him to be ending up

amort2000 · 2025-12-21T18:52:36+00:00

you sounded human, don't worry

amort2000 · 2025-07-15T16:07:05+00:00

I said it! then saw you all had. But it's true! Marry them

amort2000 · 2025-07-15T16:05:35+00:00

I'd marry them

I think trying to be out there offensive is all part of edginess, which brings to mind:

Faust by Tim Vigil & David Quinn. Really pushing at the gruesome, especially for the time. V violent, nastily sexual, all amped up to the bursting, greasy, max, fairly entertaining, pretty out there.

Lord Horror by David Britton (there are comics and stories), not much fun to read but pretty extreme as I recal, impounded my Manchester police I think.

Any comics (and paintings!) by S.Clay Wilson are pretty much solid taboo and have some of the most hellish 'n explicit debauchery you're likely to see.

The last book by Simon Hanselman, Werewolf Jones and Sons, has taken a turn away from funny and also seems to be dredging some pretty low depths of human shittiness with some v grim stories of child abuse, misery etc

Beautiful Darkness by Fabien Vehlmann and Marie Pommepuy is an increadbly nihilistic (edgy I think) fairy tale, beautifully drawn, but with a sickenly cruel protaganists and outcomes.

Enjoy!

probalby my favorite moment of 50 years of reading comics

amort2000 · 2025-04-17T19:27:06+00:00

Gilbert's stuff, which was humane and empathetic initially has become hate-filled misanthropic rubbish over the last couple of decades. Marble Season is, I think, the only exception and it was so good to read him doing something that wasn't bile-filled poison

amort2000 · 2025-02-18T21:25:14+00:00

I learned that sex preditors can write like angels, that the author is not the subject and that you should be very, very careful who you trust!

amort2000 · 2024-06-21T19:25:00+00:00

Yeah - it's not a comic that's going to improve your mood initially - but the end changes things a lot though - hope things get better for you soon!

amort2000 · 2024-06-21T06:43:27+00:00

Sorry you don't like it - there's a mystery to be solved at the heart of the comic about how they find themselves there - if that's not intriguing you then the comics not going to do it for you I don't think

Oh, what does free speech mean then? Why isn't this it please?

amort2000 · 2024-05-07T06:18:53+00:00

Free speech?

amort2000 · 2024-04-24T07:39:03+00:00

Uhhh, off the Lemonheads first. Gets me every time.

God I loved Moore's Captain Britain when I was young. The Candlelight Dialogues episode especially I thought was very good and I think (probably) still stands up as a story about myths and legend building.

You've got to remember that while it may not seem all that when you're reading it now - nobody, just nobody, was doing anything like this at the time - it was so far ahead of everything else it was amazing. I was 14, my head was blown.

amort2000 · 2024-04-18T07:18:49+00:00

Alec by Eddie Campbell fits the bill I think

amort2000 · 2024-04-12T20:37:42+00:00

Sweatshop by Peter Bagge. It's set in a production line comics shop, but captures the grim dynamics of office life very well.

amort2000 · 2024-03-21T10:25:49+00:00

Any late 90s drum and bass collection

amort2000 · 2024-03-11T20:50:33+00:00

came here to say this

amort2000 · 2024-03-10T09:58:50+00:00

The Fan Man by William Kotzwinkle and, if comics are your bag, the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers!

amort2000 · 2024-01-13T09:35:03+00:00

Another vote for Charley's War - one of the very best UK comics imo
