You know, Becky and Josh from Ghost World? Well according to Michael Holden’s All Ears column in the Guardian Guide last Saturday (15/10/07) they moved to London and recently went on holiday to the Greek islands…
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, the pictures below are from Dan Clowes’ masterwork Ghost World:
I can’t have been the only one to notice this. I mean it just totally jumped out the page at me.
If you haven’t read Ghost World you really should. I read it again on Sunday and it just gets better each time I revisit it, new subtleties showing through the ostensibly simple artwork each time.
And then Neil said:
So they basically nicked Clowes’ artwork, correct?
Also on a 90s comic tip, I bought a copy of Seattle-era Hate! when I was in Brighton, and have re-read them all, they’re great!
And then tom said:That’s what it looks like. I mean it’s not like I’m captain copyright or anything but I think actually making money from other peoples work, living breathing peoples work, as this illustrator seems to be is kind of off. This is a bit more than the kind of visual sampling that some artists/ illustrators do.
And then sean said:Oh bollocks, and there was me hoping there was a sequel.
