CR Week In Review



The week's most important comics-related news stories, April 15 to April 21, 2006.

1. Mike Luckovich wins Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning. It is his second.

2. Friends of Lulu officials release details on empowerment fund.

3. Marvel announces licensing figure of $5 billion, which is why when you and I suggest they change their ways they poop diamonds on us from high in the sky, pants-less and happy in their solid gold hangliders.

Winner of the Week
Mr. Luckovich.

Losers of the Week
I'm pretty sure someone lost now that Marvel and DC are turning corporate icon placement tricks on the side, one guesses to build robot slaves to guard the rest of their money, but I can't figure out who it is. Maybe a Coca-Cola would refresh my memory.

Quote of the Week
"Anyway, since this is probably the closest thing I'll ever make to a "public statement," I should add that I'm also pleased to associate myself with Drawn and Quarterly's fine catalog and publishing acumen, and that Fantagraphics and I remain quite convivial and amenable, and that this is all meaningless." -- Chris Ware on moving his ACME Novelty Library.

Hot Stuff has the right idea.
