Modern Language Association Call For Comics Papers Complete

I'm not sure I all the way understand the various calls for papers that spring up in various academic circles, but this one sounded cool and I imagine it might lead to a bunch of academics confronting Larry Reid at work, so I thought I'd let Charles Hatfield explain this one from the Modern Language Association.
Tom, the MLA Discussion Group on Comics and Graphic Narratives now has three Calls for Papers for MLA 2012 (Seattle, 5-8 Jan. 2012) posted to its website.

One is for a potential panel on comics vis-a-vis picture books, and is being co-sponsored by the MLA's Children's Literature Division.

One is for a panel on Spider-Man.

One is for a potential panel about Seattle's impact on comics culture.

These may be of interest to some CR readers. Deadlines are coming up fast!

If you could link to these, or just to the Discussion Group's website as a whole, we would greatly appreciate it.
So there you go. Submit away! I hope this gets me some future help down the road about splitting infinitives and run-on sentences, but I doubt it.
