Missed It: AAEC Officers, Cap, Europe

* The ACBD has given its Prix Asie to the new issuance of Keiji Nakazawa's Gen d'Hiroshima from Vertige Graphic.

* I've given up trying to figure out how the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists elects and announces their officers, although if you feel like plunging into the latest announcement, I won't stop you. I swear I've known since late 2006 that Nick Anderson was going to become President and Ted Rall was going to become an officer with an expectation to become the organization's president at some point. So I don't quite understand what's being announced now. It could be that Rall's expectation to become president was only informal and now that he's been made made President-elect it's official, and that the rest of the board had yet to be announced, I don't know. If I'm wrong, and if someone would like to explain it to me, I'll do an update here. Also: membership's up. It's interesting that members outnumbers staff positions by about 5 to 1; not that there aren't other guilds where greater percentages of that type exist.

* All of your Captain America NPR coverage in one place, including a new piece with writer Jeph Loeb about his burial. Whenever I see stuff like this, I always wish that the coverage had begun earlier, so I could get a better sense if this stuff is going to sound as weird 30 years from now as listening to a roundtable of deep thinkers talking about Richard Nixon as head of the Secret Empire would be at this time.

* Glenat ends up with BD du groupe Albin Michel, once rumored to Soleil.
