RIP Ed Piskor - it's kind of haunting and sad to see these videos, at the same time a reminder of how exhaustive and important this work was/ is. I hope in time the tradition/ channel is continued with the same passion and fervor.
Would Spiegelman qualify as one of the unicorns? It feels like his work has transcended the cultural and national boundaries (and his popularity, while maybe not the height of Miyazaki, is sizable even outside comics mainstream). Jim, I hope you’re doing alright.
I just nabbed Vol 1 ('79-96') a few months ago at the Strand in NY and thought of Ed & Jim right away...about how much they would appreciate.....Beautiful (and sad) now to get to see them discuss it. RIP Always, Ed.
I hope Jim will speak out soon. I know this has been a difficult time, but it's important to the people who have connected here to get a sense for where things stand. Of course, Jim doesn't owe anyone anything... but it would be good to hear from him. I hope all of you are doing well. All the best, everyone.
CKFaybe's video collection is a gift for the future cartoonists of the world, watching this videos always felt like coming to school, you never finish a video without learning something. Still hard to watch the channel, but slowly I'm getting back to it and I always will for inspiration and to keep learning about comics.
Bittersweet listening to Ed Piskor start off this video discussing Miyazaki's eulogy to Tezuka. Rest In Peace, Ed. Thanks so much Jim for uploading this. Love to you guys and strength to you, Jim.
It hurts so much that Ed is gone. I've been working my butt off to get a book done so he could benefit from the knowledge in it, and it crushes me he'll never get to read the completed work. Hearing him so enthusiastically dive into these books is bitter sweet, but I'm beyond thankful this video was shared nonetheless. ❤☮
Ed saying that he wishes that there was something for someone like Crumb. There is. R. Crumb: Conversations published by University of Mississippi Press. It’s not as comprehensive as these books, but it is similar in terms of presenting significant interviews from different places starting in 1968 and moving closer to present day with each interview. it also has a chronology of his life.
Sigh I know it’s sad to bring up but would have loved for Ed and Jim to do a unicorn video where they challenge themselves to come up with the best list they can
I would put Rumiko Takahashi as a unicorn. Not Ed's style but she has 4 or 5 great long running international hits with Lum, Ranma, Inu-Yasha, and Kimgure OR. Also, Naoki Urasawa.

Ed’s love of Japan and the near-mythic quality of his quests for sacred tablets will forever be inspiring
I can see why he loved Japan. It's one of the only places where they seem to see comics as a valid artform.
Hell yeah. Ed is the best, such a font of knowledge.
Everyday when I come to the Kayfabe channel my mind still can’t wrap around that Ed is gone. 😢❤
Thank you very much for the upload, Jim. Stay strong and well over there, man. RIP, Ed, you won't be forgotten.
RIP Ed Piskor. Thank you for keep these videos coming.
I bought both these books just the other day, what a coincidence. Thanks again for the upload, Jim.

Always loved the International flavor. A part of me believes thats where Ed went. Always my favorite UA-cam channel! Kayfabe Forever!
Big Love Jim ❤
I would watch every video every day they would drop. Now I can’t bring myself to get to the end of any of the recent ones. Rest in Power Ed!
you two are my zen masters, and always will be.
Every time i see a new post i am relieved to have it but realize it’s one closer to the last (with Ed).
It would be nice to see Jim make a statement about Ed's passing at some point.
Bought these for my daughter last September. They're worth the purchase.

This show is as important now as it ever was. Love you, both you guys. Missing you, Ed.
The both of you are great teachers. I just wished Ed had held on to pass on more wisdom😢
Keep on keeping on. So proud of you.
I have both books. Great reads.
Rest in peace Ed Piskor.
Comics on!

I've been contemplating getting these for years - maybe I will now!
☮️☮️☮️
I'm thinking about buying one of these books. Which one do you think is the most necessary?
😢 Jimmy how will u make new episodes?
I'll be honest I thought about buying these books but I changed my mind. Years later no regrets.
