What Happened to Jay Stephens at the US Border Back in April of This Year

Here's a more complete article about the lousy experience the cartoonist Jay Stephens had at the US border while trying to cross over into the states from his native Canada for some animation consultancy work he was doing. This is really an animation industry story, but as Stephens is a well-known comics cartoonist as well as an award winning animator, and the borders are there to be crossed by people in comics as well as an in animation, it's probably worth keeping an eye on things.

I had wondered if there might be any problems with people coming into North American for Comic-Con International, so I asked around. All I found was people complaining that coming into the US totally sucks now, but I didn't hear about anyone stopped or detained.
