Featuring news and updates for Stripped Books, a non-fiction strip covering book- and comics-related events in comics form, as well as other comics and cartoons by Stripped Books creator Gordon McAlpin. http://www.strippedbooks.com/ Comics All content ©2005-2006 Gordon McAlpin, except as noted. en-us Sat, 4 Jun 2006 06:38:12 Sequential Tart has just put up their June issue, which includes a fun interview with me about Stripped Books, although it touches on Multiplex a tiny bit, as well. http://www.sequentialtart.com/article.php?id=141 Interviews Sat, 4 Jun 2006 06:38:12 -0500 "Stripped Books: A Comics Panel" pages 13 and 14 have been added to the site. That's all (for now), folks! With the conclusion of "A Comics Panel," Stripped Books is going on a bit of a hiatus so I can concentrate on Multiplex for a while. A longer one than there usually is between Stripped Books updates, I mean. Rest assured, though, Stripped Books will return in some form. I love doing non-fiction comics too much not to. 'Til then, thanks for reading. http://www.strippedbooks.com/comics/stripped07/comics-13.html Stripped Books Thu, 27 Apr 2006 11:08:41 -0500 "Stripped Books: A Comics Panel" page 12 has been added to the site. Because of Easter, there won't be a Stripped Books update next week, however, pages 13 and 14 will conclude the story in two weeks. http://www.strippedbooks.com/comics/stripped07/comics-12.html Stripped Books Thu, 13 Apr 2006 00:01:41 -0500 "Stripped Books: A Comics Panel" page 11 has been added to the site. On page 11, the tables are turned on Ivan Brunetti, as Chris Ware points out Brunetti's own recent style change (which can be found in the superlative Schizo #4). http://www.strippedbooks.com/comics/stripped07/comics-11.html Stripped Books Thu, 6 Apr 2006 00:01:23 -0500 Just a reminder that I've separated the news feeds for Multiplex and Stripped Books. If you only want to keep up with Stripped Books, do nothing. If you want to continue to be updated about Multiplex, click the link and subscribe to the new Multiplex feed (or, through LiveJournal, add "multiplexfeed" to your Friends list). http://feeds.feedburner.com/Multiplex Site News Mon, 3 Apr 2006 00:02:31 -0500 I apologize about the delays with Stripped Books, but Multiplex and my day job have been a bit more time consuming than they had been previously. If you're a Multiplex fan, you'll know that I haven't missed a deadline for that strip, and hopefully you'll understand. If you're not a Multiplex fan, then, well, you won't. In any case, there is a bit of a change of plans -- "Stripped Books: A Comics Panel, Part Three" will be serialized now, starting today. Page 10 picks up exactly where we left off before, with Chris Ware responding to the question of style that Ivan Brunetti posed in Part Two. Page 11 WILL be posted next Thursday (April 6). http://www.strippedbooks.com/comics/stripped07/comics-10.html Stripped Books Thu, 29 Mar 2006 00:02:31 -0500 Effective immediately, I'm separating the news feeds for Multiplex and Stripped Books.

Part Two will follow in about a month. http://www.strippedbooks.com/comics/stripped07/comics-00.html Stripped Books Mon, 5 Dec 2005 00:04:51 -0500 "Eye of the Beholder" added.
