Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I always vaguely knew that the late, legendary Joe Strummer was a cartoonist, but I never thought much about it; the use of some of those cartoons as the fodder for animation in a forthcoming movie has put the thought back into my head.

* Theresa Kennelly suggests that if Scott Adams wants to take some cartoons off of his blog, he should be allowed to without howls of nerd pain from fans denied their me wanty privileges as a result.

* a professor rips into a University of Dayton newspaper cartoon he found discriminatory against gays.

* here's a negative appraisal of Finnish journalistic reaction during the Danish Cartoons Controversy and related issues.

* for some reason I really liked the opening of this video interview with Regis Loisel where he walks out looking halfway pissed off and fires comics albums from his hand like some strange Flash super-villain.

* About five minutes later, in strolls a totally sexy babe: short, black hair, dazzling amber eyes, wearing a man's suit jacket with sewn-on frilly cuffs.

* the Muhammed Cartoon Musical story seems to have life of its own; I can't tell if there's ever any new information in them or if people just keep re-writing the first one.
