Rice Boy: The First Book
Tangible! In color! Attractive! This book chronicles the genesis of a psychedelic cartoon fantasy, the focus of which is a lonely little limbless fellow who may be very important indeed. Included in this volume are chapters 1 through 11 of the comic, and various additional artworks. The story of Rice Boy is available, in what may have been a poor financial decision, for free online at www.rice-boy.com

Probably the best thing I can say about Rice Boy is that I am planning to buy a copy even though I have read the whole thing online for free. It deserves to be on my shelf, I deserve to read it on paper, and Dahm deserves the payment.

I read the whole thing online and now need to buy a beautiful hard copy! The characters and art were remarkable. Simple, memorable, and iconic. The One Electronic has an indefinite hold on my desktop. Everyone go to http://riceboy.jho-tan.com/ and read this now! It's free so make sure you support Mr Dahm's work by buying the book or a poster or two. Gorgeous.

Beautiful. Artistic. Dreamlike. Imaginative. Simple.
I've read it several times, both online and off, and it just makes me happy each time.

The Washington Post reported late Sunday that President Trump “has battled his top aides on Russia and lost.”
Less than 20 hours later, Trump reversed U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley’s announcement that the United States would be ramping up sanctions on Russia.
Hmm.
The sudden reversal of Haley’s Sunday morning announcement is hardly the only example of the right hand in the White House not always knowing what the left hand is up to. Trump often seems to be negotiating not just those around him but also with himself, and he has been unafraid of contradicting top aides and even Cabinet-level officials such as Haley.
But on Russia and on an issue of such import, the quick reversal is stunning — and relatively rare. There is no clear indication whether Haley or someone else is at fault, but as The Post’s team notes, she has a tendency to clear her remarks with Trump personally before she makes them. It seems entirely possible that she got Trump to sign off on saying more Russia sanctions were coming on Sunday morning, and then the White House got cold feet (possibly because Trump suddenly felt the need to exert his influence over the process).
A look back at Haley’s remarks Sunday leaves little doubt that she appeared on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” with the clear purpose of announcing the sanctions. It was the second answer she provided, and she volunteered the information rather than being lured into saying something that perhaps wasn’t ready for public consumption.
BRENNAN: Are there any consequences for Assad’s patrons, Russia and Iran, who continue to protect him?
HALEY: Absolutely. So you will see that Russian sanctions will be coming down. Secretary [Steven] Mnuchin will be announcing those on Monday, if he hasn’t already. And they will go directly to any sort of companies that were dealing with equipment related to Assad and chemical weapons used.
Those are very specific comments — not only that sanctions are coming, but also that Mnuchin would announce them within 24 hours or so. It’s really difficult to believe Haley was just freelancing here and didn’t get the go-ahead to announce something of such significance.
