In which the sorely missed Arthur<\/em> magazine<\/a> returns to the world of print after a four-year slumber in Avalon. I was involved with the magazine from the outset so regular readers may recall many earlier posts about America’s most vital cultural bulletin:<\/p>\n

After a four-year sabbatical (faked death?), your beloved revolutionary sweetheart Arthur<\/em> returns to print, renewed, refreshed, reinvigorated and in a bold new format: pages as tall and wide as a daily newspaper, printed in color and black and white on compostable newsprint, with ads only on the back cover(s). Amazing!<\/p>\n

In partnership with Portland, Oregon\u2019s Floating World Comics<\/a>, Arthur<\/em>\u2019s gang of goofs, know-it-alls and village explainers are back, from Bull Tonguers Byron Coley and Thurston Moore to radical ecologist Nance Klehm to trickster activists Center for Tactical Magic to Defend Brooklyn<\/a>\u2018s socio-political commentator Dave Reeves to a host of new, fresh-faced troublemakers, edited by ol\u2019 fool Jay Babcock and art directed by Yasmin Khan. You want a peek at the contents? Sorry, compadre. That would be saying too much, too soon. Wait \u2019til Dec. 22, 2012: that\u2019s right\u2014THE DAY AFTER THE NON-END OF THE WORLD!<\/p>\n

Please keep in mind\u2026 Arthur<\/em> is no longer distributed for free anywhere. Those days are (sadly) long gone. Now you gotta buy Arthur<\/em> or you won\u2019t see it. Our price: Five bucks cheeeeeep!<\/p>\n

The NYT<\/a> picked up on the news on Thursday. Is re-launching a paper magazine in 2012 a crazy idea? We’re about to find out. A selection of my illustrations for previous issues follows.<\/p>\n
