2. Major new grant announced at Image Expo, co-sponsored by a number of renowned creative talents.

3. Ted Rall plans to sue the LA Times for unlawful termination and a variety of other charges.

Winner Of The Week
Comics, for that new grant. If we can get something with that same sentiment once a year for five years, imagine the transformative good it could do.

Quote Of The Week
"I'm black. I'm from West Baltimore. I've lived in black communities all my life; it's the experience I know. I can't help but pull from that. It's a part of me, but I think the notion that by writing out of an African American experience, it necessarily means no one else will want to see it -- that's probably a false dichotomy. So, I would say: 'Yes, it is "for us,"' but in the course of being 'for us,' it becomes for everyone." -- Ta-Nehisi Coates
