CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from March 24 to March 30, 2012:

1. Ali Ferzat ends a recent trip to Great Britain from where he's staying in Kuwait with a BCC interview where he talks in forceful, forthright fashion about his beating at the hands of pro-government thugs and his plans to eventually return to Syria. He also talks about being unable to make comics art right away, which I don't think has been part of his statements until now.

2. Al Ross, oldest living New Yorker cartoonist whose work appeared in that publication over seven different decades, dies in New York.

3. With the Doug Wright Awards, the Stumptown Fest-related awards and the NCS divisional awards all announcing nominees, and with the Eisner nominations due sometime next week, the 2012 awards season officially kicks off.

Winner Of The Week
Comics creators as engines that make -- and through which we meet -- so many remarkable characters.

Losers Of The Week
All of us, including and maybe particularly myself, for the ways we haven't made a natural value of torshe comics community a reverence for the character creation abilities of so many comics-makers.

Quote Of The Week
"Was there a question?" -- Ellen Forney
