Comics roundup (CS)
Just a brief survey of this week's print strips and other stuff (appropriate with the MoCCA festival coming up this weekend, i thought).
Both Sutton Impact and This Modern World deal with the modern media in light of Newsweekgate and Watergate-revisited.
It reminded me at least a little bit of Transmetropolitan (which i'm catching up on these days in trades) and how I wish we could have more journalists like Spider Jerusalem. Or ANY journalists like Spider Jerusalem for that matter (with the passing of Hunter S. Thompson we lost the only writer that probably even came close.... obviously Spider owes a lot to Thompson but blah blah blah blah).
Along the same lines of humor and art and comics pointing out the media's inadequacies as well as our own inadquacies as citizens is this week's Tom The Dancing Bug (link forthcoming, but it's in this week's Voice). The 6th panel points out the public (and media's.... and for that matter gov't's) boredom with the continuing crisis in the Sudan. For more biting satire on that topic (and even though it's not a comic) I would refer you to this fantastic opinion piece from The Onion.
Purely for entertainment purposes.... Perry Bible Fellowship rarely dissapoints, this week being no exception. Check out "Colonel Sweeto" too as long as you're there. And I really enjoyed this week's Maakies that appeared in the Voice as well... One of those just straight up strange but beatuifully drawn installments that Tony Millionaire does from time to time. When does he get his own MoCCA exhibition/installment/tribute?
As for MoCCA this week:
It's a day too late to get in on the Sutton Impact book release, but of course not too late to check the book itself out. The big festival is this weekend. Ruben Bolling of Tom The Dancing Bug should be there, as well as lots of other great indie comicers. It's also a great place to pick up some cool artwork if you're looking for something rad to put up in the empty space on your wall.
And finally, can anyone confirm for me whether the second "g" in Google on their site is supposed to be the Guggenheim or not?
