i love this city

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

I’m sad to leave Montréal. Not just was it one of the most productive work weeks I’ve ever had (thanks to the fine folks at Hélimax), but the city is great. I’ve had some spectacular meals here - the two little bistros within walking distance of the office are fantastic; way better than the 40+ mediocre fast-food outlets near my office. One evening we went to Pintxo - nummy Basque food.

I think I’d probably eat less here, because the food is worth savouring. There’s care and love in the food here, not boil-in-the-bag slop.

All our usual restaurants were busy, so we stopped at El Pulgarcito at 1210 Kennedy Rd. I’d never had pupusas before; these little filled maize pancakes are the best. We’ll be back.

The Return of Jimmy The Turtle Food Collector

Friday, July 16th, 2004

Jimmy The Turtle Food Collector
(links to JimmyTheTurtleFoodCollector.pdf, 10.2 MB)

Long ago — like in 1998 — John Kricfalusi’s animation company Spumco used to have a really neat website. It’s gone now, and spumco.com doesn’t point anywhere useful.

They used to have web comics online, such as Turtle Food Collector. These seem to have been scattered to the four winds, but there are fragmented copies of the comic on archive.org.

None of JohnK’s work deserves this fate, so I rounded up all the files from their various hiding places, and joined them together in one PDF file. Hope you like it.
