For those of you concerned about the current state of freedom in the United States, there's an interesting Art Show at the ACLU website of political cartoons deemed inappropriate by various people. Link courtesy of Journalista.
A recent Seattle Times Article told about a fellow who put up a parody of the Seattle School District Website. The Parody of the Seattle School District website is rather amusing considering the district's recent financial woes. Unfortunately, living in the Seattle area, some of the shenanigans that the district has been up to have definitely hit home. One of my co-workers, who is also a Seattle School Crossing Guard, just had her Seattle School paycheck slashed by one third. Thus, the parody is both funny and painful.
There's an interesting set of pages at BugPowder that have some great examples of early comics. Definitely worth a look.
It's now one week until my birthday. I'm hoping for an answer to my letters by then, that's my birthday wish. Since I already got a wonderful Aquaman statue from my hubby-Eric for Christmas and Birthday, and there's also an Aquaman Archive coming right after my birthday, I don't expect much by way of regular gifts. The problem is that hubby-Eric's birthday is the day after mine, on the 21st, and I haven't got him much of anything! Any suggestions?
Speaking of things we have got, I received our tickets to the first ever Emerald City Comicon in the mail. Eric and I will be there, on February 9th. I think I need to start looking into how we're going to get down there. Maybe the bus...
So, should I risk asking Erik Larsen for an Aquaman sketch, or do you think I'd better just let sleeping dogs lie? And, if Fantagraphics gets a table, should I visit Dirk Deppey?
