CR Week In Review



The top comics-related news stories from June 30 to July 6, 2007:

1. Washington Post declines to run a Tom the Dancing Bug cartoon featuring Dick Cheney, throwing a spotlight on their unfortunate habit of dropping installments of strips and not telling their readers.

2. Association of American Editorial Cartoonists holds 50th meeting, ponders state of the field.

3. Comic-Con International heads towards potential four-day sell-out; while it's still only potential at this point, administrators warn folks to pre-register for the best possible outcome.

Winners Of The Week
Matt Madden and Jessica Abel confirm they're the new Best American Comics series editors.

Losers Of The Week
Longtime fans of For Better or For Worse who hoped that the character Elizabeth might leave home and make a life for herself that was somewhat different than the life she had in eighth grade. It ain't over 'til it's over, but right now things don't look good.

Quote Of The Week
"Blech -- there isn't enough gin in the world to take the sour taste of this plot line out of my mouth." -- Professor Fate, in the Comics Curmudgeon thread on the Elizabeth/Anthony kiss.

this week's imagery comes from pioneering comic book house Centaur Publications
