CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from November 1 to November 7, 2014:

1. A cartoon compares Benjamin Netanyahu's policies to the actions of 9/11 terrorists. There's some pushback.

2. Bill Watterson drew a new cartoon for the poster of this year's Angouleme Festival; he won't be attending despite being this year's president.

3. Comic Arts Brooklyn, the last big event of the festival calendar in terms of the traditional schedule favored by small-press and alt/arts publishers (there's a new event starting this year in Los Angeles and scattered events of many a kind), gets underway via satellite event and publishing announcement.

Winner Of The Week
Jim Woodring

Losers Of The Week
All those hoping that the Angouleme presidency might drive Bill Watterson into a public appearance. I think a lot of people would like a chance to shower Bill Watterson with applause somehow.
