El Lissitzky. Had Gadya (A Single Kid). Kultur-Lige. 1919.

El Lissitzky illustrated this avant-garde version of the Passover song “Had gadya” early in his career, while immersed in the Jewish cultural renaissance that flourished in Russia from roughly 1912 to the early 1920s. Lithographs with Yiddish text, this is one of only a few copies known to exist. -Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library

Kletschmore is another comic by the Pengboom Society who make A House Divided. There is a lot of talent in that group! I love the art and story here, I hope they get 3 billion readers.

I have a comic for you to read, by some talented and funny fellows - the Pengboom Society - I met in Frankfurt.  

A House Divided is beautifully drawn, great facial expressions, great humor and mystery and fun, all the things you want an adventure fantasy comic to be!  It’s 30 pages in or so, so it’s just starting to get interesting.

Meredith and I are getting married this fall, and she is the best person I’ve ever met and I can’t wait to be married to her!

We’re going to be paying for our small, modest affair all on our own, but that still adds up to a pretty hefty chunk of cash for a couple of cartoonists. SO, to…

go for it!
