I've been playing some very casual games of #eightball #pool with a friend of mine over the last few months. I've lost every game we've played.

Tonight, after I lost another game horrendously, my friend gave me a little pointer on how to aim to properly hit the balls.

Somehow, I won the next two games.

Plug Corner! Hand Painted Girlie Ties! There are no ads in #Eightball except these types of things, it's cover to cover drawn and designed by #danielclowes. If you're a reader of #comics it should be clear how refreshing these are compared to the typical full page corporate ads.

So pumped that I just added another piece to my #danielclowes collection. Here's the current state of things. I'm so close to having everything but missing some of the more obscure #comics.

Day 9 of my #comicbook room and #comicart tour! #DanielClowes! I got this sketch the Alternative Press Expo (#APE) in 2008. Currently, I'm trying to see if I can complete my collection of #Eightball, which was just collected in a single trade: https://www.fantagraphics.com/products/the-complete-eightball-1-18-reprint

I also love this reference to "My Pal Foot Foot" by The Shaggs, an obscure band often referred to as "the worst of all time." Seriously they're terrible, but in the 1980s they had a bit of a cult following. It's just such cool thing to include in a comic. #Eightball

One of my favourite aspects of #Eightball is that it's chock full of interesting cultural references (that were more obscure when they were written in the early 90s). Like this panel referencing the mugging of Dan Rather, published well before the R.E.M. song was released.

"The Stroll" (from #Eightball #3) - a comic where the narrator walks through town, silently swearing at people before finally arriving back home and hypocritically contemplating about how he feels a sense of humanitarian kinship with others. Hilariously dark.

I Hate You Deeply, a comic in #Eightball #2 published 1989, has Daniel Clowes hating on mullets before there was even a word for Mullets (Coined by the Beastie Boys in 1994!). So great.

Devil Doll (#Eightball #1, 1989) is just the most sarcastic and wonderful critique of Chick Tracts, the little comics people leave on busses to convert you to Christianity. An exploration into what the world might look like if Chick Tracts actually worked.

#Eightball by #danielclowes just got reprinted in a single volume! It's my favourite comic and I'm going to be re-reading it. It's a wild, vulgar, hilarious compilation of social commentary. While I re-read it I think I'll slowly post a thread here trying to shine some light on why it's so great. #altcomix #comics
