The Brilliance of Bone (posted by ChueyTV)

by | Nov 24, 2025

 

Bone is a graphic novel series written by American cartoonist Jeff Smith. The graphic novels are adapted from the comic series of the same name that was independently released from 1991-2004. The graphic novel series was popular during the early 2000s and led to several spin offs and other various adaptions. In this video I explore the background of the series, its various spin offs, and its lasting legacy. View here

THORN Wins Best Archival Collection/Project – Strips!

by | Jul 26, 2025

 

THORN: The Complete Proto-BONE College Strips 1982-1986, and Other Early Drawings won the Eisner for – Best Archival Collection/Project – Strips! 

From Jeff: “First and foremost. Thanks to my spouse and partner, Vijaya Iyer, who was with me from the beginning of this journey from THORN to BONE, the two of us were just kids trying to navigate the world of Comics. I’d also like to  thank the world of Comics for this award for a book our Cartoon Books staff not only insisted on producing, but worked very hard on. They saw the value in these old strips that I had, for some reason, been very embarrassed about. Thanks again to our hardworking coworkers Kathleen Glosan and Tom Gaadt, and to everyone here in this room.”
