Go, Read: Tobocman in New Orleans

The Villager profiles World War III Illustrated's Seth Tobocman and his recent experiences in New Orleans. It's interesting to note that in much the same way Tobocman said he experienced 9/11 in the context of the 1970s outrage against United States citizens that helped form the magazine, he see parallels between what's going on in New Orleans and the political turmoil he described in War In The Neighborhood. Having visited New Orleans briefly last month, I would imagine there's a Great Pyramids amount of work to be done in terms of political advocacy; if nothing else, spending time in the Crescent City these days is like visiting a friend you heard was mostly better after a car wreck and trying not to tear up when you see how shaky they are on a cane.

The cartoonist Josh Neufeld has also spent time in the region, and wrote about it eloquently in his Katrina Came Calling.
