CR Week In Review The top comics-related news stories from May 11 to May 17, 2013:
1. A Mike Peters cartoon was reworked by a publication so obviously it hurts one's teeth -- a common practice in this day and age of digital manipulation. Whether or not the attention driven to your issue balances against being criticized for this kind of activity, no one likely knows. Meanwhile, it's impossible to have a bad cartoon, the cartoon must be unfair.
2. The Brooklyn Comics And Graphics Festival, a successful arts- and alt-comics show that's been running since 2009, calls it quits.
Quote Of The Week
"Maybe that's why they never gave you an award before." -- my approximate memory of Doug Wright Awards host Scott Thompson to the cartoonist David Collier after Collier's rambling, chaotic acceptance speech.

The people on stage with you today stand right alongside the knowledge in your head as your greatest resource moving forward. May all your debuts be ACME #1s, and may all your contracts be more Kane than Kirby. Good luck. Please write. And draw.
