Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I would totally read an X-Men book where they all became dead, gay, sad, fat, old dogs.

* "I want my picture taken with him!" (thanks, Paul Di Filippo)

* awesome post by Scott Edelman with specific memories of names listed at the 1970 Phil Seuling Con.

* the caricaturist Martin Rowson writes one of those "how will we ever get along without drawing you" articles about George W. Bush, the last in the usual series of articles about such public figures that ironically always seems to start with something on "we can't get the hang of drawing you."

* here's a profile of the Maryland comics/education initiative, which organizers say may expand in to middle schools. Apparently, they're going to take on translating a bunch of French "classics comics" in addition to their program administrative duties. Does anyone out there know if this work is going to an established publisher?

* a caricature of Narayan Rane by Bal Thackeray has led to charges on each side that the other should be arrested.

* finally, word seeps out that Japan's parliament will study the issue of virtual pornography before acting on a child pornography law. By virtual pornography it seems they mean anything that doesn't involve the participation of exploitable humans.
