Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the publisher Dan Nadel announces that Lauren Weinstein's Goddess of War has been moved back to February. I mean, we knew it had been moved back because it hadn't shown up, but I at least wasn't sure where it had been moved to.

* the winners in the 8th annual Tehran Cartoon Biennial were announced yesterday. Congratulations to to all the winners.

* this contest is being announced as the first of its kind in Vietnam.

* this piece dwells on the heightened importance of satirists like political cartoonists when a democracy, like South Africa's, is only 13 years old.

* I enjoyed this report on James Kemsley's recent memorial service.

* Allan Holtz continues his look at the 1940 Christmas-related comic strip Santa's Secrets. Holiday strips used to be a pretty big deal on the newspaper page, and one of those things that in my hopelessly nostalgic holiday swooning I wish could take off again. nobody invested in them like the NEA, where this strip's creator, Howard Boughner, worked in the bullpen.
