FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

Chester Brown, the cartoonist, in 2009

The Playboy is a graphic novel by Canadian cartoonist Chester Brown (pictured),
serialized in 1990 in his comic book Yummy Fur and collected in different
revised book editions in 1992 and 2013. It deals with Brown's guilt and anxiety
over his obsessive masturbation to Playboy Playmate models; out of fear of being
caught, he repeatedly rids himself of copies of the magazine, only to retrieve
them later. His conflicting emotions follow him into adulthood until he purges
them by revealing himself through his comics. The free, organic arrangement of
odd-shaped panels of simple, expressive artwork contrasts with his more detailed
grid-like pages in his 1980s work, such as Ed the Happy Clown. The Playboy forms
part of Brown's autobiographical period during the early 1990s, and was the
first book-length work he planned as a complete story. It has attracted praise
for its revealing honesty, and criticism from those who saw it as glorifying
pornography. (Full article...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

Vanadinite is a mineral belonging to the apatite group of phosphates. It is one
of the main industrial ores of the metal vanadium and a minor source of lead. A
dense, brittle mineral, it is usually found in the form of red hexagonal
crystals. It is an uncommon mineral, formed by the oxidation of lead ore
deposits such as galena. First discovered in 1801 in Mexico, vanadinite deposits
have since been unearthed in South America, Europe, Africa, and North America.
This cluster of reddish brown tabular vanadinite crystals, measuring 4.0 cm ×
2.5 cm × 2.3 cm (1.57 in × 0.98 in × 0.91 in), was found in a mine in Mibladen,
Morocco. The photograph was focus-stacked from 212 separate images using
software.
