'I WANT YOU' by Lisa Hanawalt

Buenaventura Press just released Lisa Hanawalt’s debut comic, I Want You, and Lisa was nice enough to share some sample pages. Her self published book Stay Away From Other People won the Ignatz for “Outstanding Mini Comic” at this year’s Small Press Expo, and her new book is more of the same greatness. Her comics can be pretty grotesque, but they’re also totally poignant and hilarious. Reminds me of that time I ate mushrooms and thought I should quit my job to become a stand up comedian/philosopher, except she actually remembered everything and drew comics of it.

About Jay Babcock

I am an independent writer and editor based in Tucson, Arizona. I publish LANDLINE at jaybabcock.substack.com Previously: I co-founded and edited Arthur Magazine (2002-2008, 2012-13) and curated the three Arthur music festival events (Arthurfest, ArthurBall, and Arthur Nights) (2005-6). Prior to that I was a district office staffer for Congressman Henry A. Waxman, a DJ at Silver Lake pirate radio station KBLT, a copy editor at Larry Flynt Publications, an editor at Mean magazine, and a freelance journalist contributing work to LAWeekly, Mojo, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Vibe, Rap Pages, Grand Royal and many other print and online outlets. An extended piece I wrote on Fela Kuti was selected for the Da Capo Best Music Writing 2000 anthology. In 2006, I was somehow listed in the Music section of Los Angeles Magazine's annual "Power" issue. In 2007-8, I produced a blog called "Nature Trumps," about the L.A. River. From 2010 to 2021, I lived in rural wilderness in Joshua Tree, Ca.
