One of my favorite bloggers, Jon Swift, stepped out of satirical mode for a post to excoriate Chris Muir, a radical reactionary strip cartoonist who recently drew Hillary Clinton in blackface to mock a recent speech given by the Senator in which she quoted a Negro spiritual by affecting a cadence that didn’t sound quite…
One of my favorite web cartoonists, August Pollak, hits a home run with his Some Guy with a Website strip called "Internet Argument." If you ever want to explain the world of blogs to anyone, you could do much worse than this strip.
Forbidden Plant International leads us to another glowing review of Bryan Talbot’s amazing Alice in Sunderland by Steve Flanagan. The catch is that Flanagan’s review is illustrative, done in the style of the book it’s discussing. Flanagan’s 7-part comic strip review discusses Talbot’s presumed influences for this book, his stylistic choices, perceived structural weakness and…
In case you thought Zippy was kinda normal, King Features will be launching a new strip, My Cage, on May 6th. My Cage is a twist on "MySpace," except that it has a bit of a manga-style influence. Drawn by Melissa DeJesus and written by Ed Power, My Cage is about Norman, a young 20-something…
Well, here’s something you don’t see everyday. As our Elayne Riggs noted last March 16th (check it out on our search engine), King Features Syndicate Comics Editor Jay Kennedy died at the age of 50. Tributes were offered by cartoonists all over the world, but perhaps the most unusual and one of the most heartfelt…
Johnny Hart, of B.C. and Wizard of Id fame, died Saturday while working at his storyboard in Endicott NY. He was 76. B.C. appears in more than 1,300 newspapers worldwide – quite an achievement in these days of newspaper mergers and disappearing strips. No stranger to controversy, some of Hart’s cartoons had hard Christian themes….
Not only are "the internets" a great place to find news (for instance, both CBR and Blog@Newsarama have the WizWorld LA scoops more than covered from the fan view, and Marv Wolfman from the pro view), but they’re invaluable as information tools if you know where to look. One of the best places to read…
World Entertainment News Network reports that Disney is considering legal action against an organization called Sinful Comics after they produced a "raunchy" strip featuring Pirates Of The Caribbean actors. British newspaper The Sun reports Sinful have created a comic strip, which sees movie beauty Keira Knightley being seduced by co-stars Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom….
It’s trippy, surreal, beautifully rendered and found in newspapers such as The Guardian and The New York Press and magazines such as Maxim, but is still one of the webcomics world’s best secrets — until now. Nicholae Gurewitch, creator of The Perry Bible Fellowship, sat down for an interview with Associated Content to discuss his…
If you think we’ve come a long way in butting out of people’s personal affairs, remember this: the last anti-miscegenation law prohibiting people of different races from marrying was repealed on November 7, 2000. Seven years later, an interracial couple breaks down one of the last barriers to a normal American family life: the newspaper…
Some wag said 9/11 marked the death of irony. Well, that was certainly ironic. Gwynne Dyer, writing for the London Independent, pointed out recent Doonesbury strips have been parroting the official Bush / Cheney line that the people to blame for our defeat in Iraq are "those brutal, stupid Iraqis." Whereas the strip has never…
Here’s part of what happened: there was a security hole from one of our vendor’s products that exposed a lot of private company data that would only have gotten worse after launching. So rather than put all that at risk, we waited until we could completely fix the problem. Now that we’re safe and secure,…
