2. TCAF gets underway in Toronto with spotlight on Doug Wright, including a new collection of his work and the awards named after him.

Bangladeshis that have seen a slight improvement in press and religious rights.

Losers Of The Week

Quote Of The Week
"The Direct Market comics shop should be the jewel in the crown of multiple comics markets during a peak time of comics craft and mass-media attention; instead it eats its own arms off." -- Neilalien
