CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from March 12 to March 18, 2011:

1. Not one but two newspapers apologize for glib, tsunami-related editorial cartoons. The majority of responses were more encouraging, some literally, as major fund-raising efforts gear up across comics' various creative communities.

2. C2E2 opens with a lot riding on the sophomore effort. Convention has stayed mostly quiet with national press and focused on local/regional, which seems like an excellent way to approach such a show.

3. Washington City Paper basks in the feel-good glow of returning a page of alt-strips to its publication. This one's important because the several-year trend has been in the exact opposite direction.

Winner Of The Week
Gary Varvel; there were a lot of comics award nominee slates announced, too.

Losers Of The Week
Those of us not likely to visit the D.C. area anytime soon.
