Today, we have a new episode of Mike Dawson's TCJ Talkies podcast. In this episode, he has two guests, Annie Mok and Kris Mukai, and they discuss two books: Michael DeForge's Ant Colony and John Porcellino's Hospital Suite.
Earlier this week, Art Spiegelman posted a preview image of a cover he created for a special free-speech issue of The New Stateman, guest-edited by Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer. Yesterday, Spiegelman announced on his Facebook page that he has decided to pull the cover from the issue, after the magazine's regular editors decided not to run a Spiegelman strip on being a "First Amendment fundamentalist" (which has previously been published in The Nation).
Fantagraphics has redesigned its website.

—WTF. This is an embarrassment.THE DAILY Record hit the streets yesterday to help some of Scotland’s “missing million” get their referendum vote.
We launched our Have Your Say 2014 campaign yesterday – backed up with an 16-page special pullout – to make sure as many people as possible contribute to the historical decision on September 18.
Research shows about 300,000 eligible voters are not on the roll and twice as many will probably not turn up to vote.
Yesterday, we spoke to some of those who might miss out and persuaded them to fill out and post the form printed in our pullout.
Callum Hunter said he was unaware he had to be on the electoral roll to vote.
The 16-year-old student, from Govan, Glasgow, said: “I thought I would automatically be eligible to vote.I am not sure how I want to vote yet but the referendum is important to me. I’m glad I have been given the chance to register.”
Sean McBride, 16, from Paisley, intends to vote Yes. But he did not know he would miss out if he did not register before September 2.
He said: “It’s really good you have done this, I had no idea I had to fill out a form.”
Tracey O’Docherty, 27, from Ibrox, said she had been waiting for forms to be sent to her home.
The unemployed nursery worker said: “I had no idea I had to do this. I think I’m going to vote Yes. I like the idea of us being responsible for ourselves.
“It is great the Record is doing this. We won’t get this chance again and I could have missed mine.”
Scotland’s political leaders also put aside their differences to praise our campaign.
Scottish Labour leader Johann Lamont said: “Many of those not registered to vote could have
the most to gain or lose from the decision Scotland makes.
“The Record is doing a fine public service, not only informing people of the issues but persuading everyone to be active in the debate.”
SNP MSP Linda Fabiani said: “This is a fantastic initiative by the Daily Record. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to shape Scotland’s future – and a decision that is too important to leave to other people.”
Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie said: “Thumbs up to the Daily Record for this campaign.The decision over Scotland’s future is one which will affect our children and our grandchildren. If you are eligible to vote, you need to be part of that decision.”
Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson said: “Well done to the Daily Record for highlighting such an important issue.
“This is a massive choice facing our nation and, unlike an election, you can’t change your mind in five years’ time if you don’t like the result.”
We teamed up with the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) and the Scottish Trades Union Congress to hammer home the message yesterday.
John Downie of the SCVO said: “It’s appalling to think so many eligible people in Scotland aren’t registered and many more won’t bother to use their vote.”
Allan Rennie, editor in chief of the Daily Record and Sunday Mail, said: “The decision Scots make in the referendum is one that will resound for generations to come.
“That is why it is crucial as many people as possible are involved by getting registered to vote and using their vote on September 18.
“There is still time get on to the electoral register and have a say – but not that much time.
“That is why we have joined with the SCVO and STUC to campaign for Scotland’s missing million voters to make their voices heard.”Redken Global Creative Director Guido created a look that combined elegance with ease for the runway at Oscar de la Renta’s Fall/Winter 2015 show. To put a modern touch on the classic French twist, Guido raked the hair back with his fingers, leaving comb marks, and then added shine with Redken’s Forceful 23 super strength hairspray and Diamond Oil High Shine Airy Mist.
The look at Oscar de la Renta this season is very elegant and classic – very uptown chic. Though the finished look is very done, there’s a sense of ease to it. There’s the lines that I created by raking my fingers through the hair to pull it back into the French twist, and the shine that I added with Redken’s Diamond Oil High Shine Airy Mist. I prepped the hair first with Redken’s Stay High 18 because you need some grip and hold to achieve the style. The key here is to secure the French twist at the back of the neck, making sure it’s flat and tight against the head, which creates a super beautiful profile.
Apply a quarter-size amount of Redken Stay High 18 high-hold gel to mousse to damp hair and blow dry.
Gather hair and rake with fingers to create comb marks, and then pull up into a French twist. Be sure the base of the twist is tight and flat against the head.
Secure the French twist by pinning with open fasteners.
Finish with a thorough spray of Redken Forceful 23 super strength hairspray for hold and lightly mist Redken Diamond Oil High Shine Airy Mist all over for added shine.HO Scale Athearn Ready to Roll #94080. New York Central RS-3 Locomotive ROAD #5511. This locomotive has been in storage for quite a few years. The images show the loco covered in dust due to the static in the box, but it would clean up easily. This train car is part of my Dad's model railroad collection he spent 40+ years acquiring. I don't have any experience pricing model trains so if you see something at a very low price - LUCKY YOU! These are generally new pieces unless otherwise noted. My goal is to get them moved on to new homes. If there's any backup stating when he obtained a piece I will include it on the packaging. I cannot attest to the functionality of any mechanical pieces and that is reflected in the price.

<issue_comment>username_0: I didn't dig the route cause with debugging yet, but I guess there is the same problem that sparklyr had.

<issue_comment>username_1: The resolution of this should use forward-compatible syntax. That's not possible at the moment because Hadley and <NAME> and others are actively working to solve this problem in dplyr and DBI, and the syntax that will be used has not yet been decided. Closing this for now, but I will revisit it once there is an idiomatic syntax for this established by dyplr.<issue_closed>
<issue_comment>username_1: This is solved in dplyr 0.7.0 with the new function [`in_schema()`](http://dbplyr.tidyverse.org
