Since a lot of the blogs I read all swipe links from each other, I tend to forget that not everyone has seen stuff that I’ve seen four or five times. A couple of comics-related items:
The silence of the cat
MackJ at the Truth and Beauty Bombs forums made the amazing discovery that if you take Garfield strips and delete Garfield’s thought balloons, you vastly improve the quality of the strips. Many are just weirdly surreal, but some take on a poignant, philosophical quality reminiscent of Peanuts. See?
Fighting führer with führer
You’ve all heard of the Danish Mohammed cartoon uproar. You may have heard that an Iranian newspaper is asking for submissions of anti-semitic cartoons about the Holocaust, trying to demonstrate that Westerners aren’t as supportive of free speech as we think we are. A group of Israeli cartoonists have picked up the gauntlet, and are setting up their own contest for anti-semitic cartoons, just to prove the Iranians wrong. Deadline is March 5, and I’m stuck for ideas.
