Periodical/Sequential Art: The Comics Journal #299

The main feature in TCJ #299 is an epic length, meticulously researched, and expertly written article about one of the greatest comic projects never published, The Someday Funnies, collected and curated by Michel Choquette over the span of nearly a decade. Because Choquette saved almost every document related to the project (down to phone messages, carbon copies of letters, etc.), it’s a very complete history of this aborted project. (It would make an excellent addition to a journalism class syllabus). After reading this article, I’m holding out a slim glimmer of hope that a publisher (perhaps Fantagraphics, who also publish The Comics Journal), will finally release The Someday Funnies, or even selections from this truly lost anthology.
