Cartozia Tales second Kickstarter project

Local teacher and comics writer Michael Wenthe is part of a shared-world comic known as Cartozia.

To fund some more issues, there's a new Kickstarter campaign. I've backed them.

AU prof and comics writer Wenthe interviewed

Michael Wenthe, who teaches comics at American University and does minicomics is interviewed along with his collaborator Isaac Cates. See "For Your Consideration: Satisfactory Comics #6 & 7, and A Treatise upon the Jam," by Chris Beckett, Comicon's The Pulse (January 3, 2008).

Another DC-area blogger spotlight

Michael Wenthe - mentioned earlier today - shares a blog with Isaac Cates. Both teach about comics, and together they make minicomics. I hadn't realized they had a blog until Isaac mentioned it in passing today - check out Satisfactory Comics. Right now, it appears that their latest mini-comic is an intellectual exercise of the type that Matt Madden is the best promoter of - if you haven't bought his 99 Ways to Tell A Story, you should and you should shelve it next to McCloud, Eisner and Buscema.

A link to Satisfactory Comics will be up on the right for future visits.
