Mapping the British punk scene — influences and connections late-70s into the 80s — with The Clash at the center of the Universe (because that’s the way it was for me).
Chart from 1977: A Punk History coming from Ravenna Press (2018).

2 quotes on history and 1 on map making:
i have no history / up arrival, i am / always writing it (Kevin Coval)
Everything is history–only some of it is remembered (Saul Weisberg)
There is no end to the information we can use. A “good” map provides the information we need for a particular purpose–or the information the mapmaker wants us to have. (Peter Torchi)
Another Existential Day 1977
Created for a cartoon/memoir class last spring with David Lasky and Greg Stump. It’s a map of the themes that run through my new book 1977, coming from Ravenna Press in 2018.
