An unusual update: The ridiculously productive Jesse Reklaw, while working on issue 2 of his diary comic Ten Thousand Things to Do, decided that each issue should be 64 pages long instead of 40. So when he reprinted issue 1, he added 24 new pages (and a new cover, which actually includes the title of the comic now, just to confuse people). The cover price is still $4, and the smaller first edition is now gone.
This means that if you have one of the old ones, and you get issue 2—to be released any day now—you’ll be missing 24 days of Reklaw’s life (and yes, he does have a life after the book tour). It’s possible that Jesse will make the extra stuff available in some kind of ashcan format; you’ll know the details as soon as we do. He’s also been putting the strip on the Internet, if you like computers.
This is kind of the last minute, but you’re advised to go to these cool things featuring some Hobonians:
Also: this is very loosely related to comics, but if you’re at all fond of drawings, animation, handmade things, or just the several interesting qualities of the human race, it’s hard to overstate the greatness of the South African artist William Kentridge. There’s a big Kentridge show at SFMOMA starting March 15 with lots of related events, and a documentary about him showing in Berkeley.
