City Paper's review of Lichtenstein exhibit
"Roy Lichtenstein: A Retrospective" At the National Gallery of Art to Jan. 13; Roy Lichtenstein's comic-book Pop art gave him modernist cred, but he was a painter's painter, too.

Cudlin wraps up his review talking about comics, "One sour note: The names of the comics artists that Lichtenstein borrowed from in the mid-'60s—people like Tony Abruzzo, Irv Novick, and Jack Kirby—are not mentioned in the show's wall text..." and ComicsDC readers should check out his conclusions.

Cartoonists Rights Network supports editorial cartoon contest
Draw Attention to Impunity: IFEX launches the International Day to End Impunity Editorial Cartoon Contest
10/18/2012http://www.cartoonistsrights.org/recent_developments_article.php?id=68
im·pu·ni·ty \im-'pyü-nÉ™-tÄ“\ n. without punishment, without consequences
Attention all cartoonists! Help us draw the world's attention by creating an editorial cartoon about impunity. IFEX, an international network of free expression groups, is launching an editorial cartoon contest. Titled the Draw Attention to Impuniity: Editorial Cartoon Contest, this cartoon contest will be part of the second annual International Day to End Impunity on November 23, 2012. The deadline for entries is November 4, 2012. Some of the entries will be featured on the International Day to End Impunity website, and the top three winners will receive cash prizes.
Journalists, photographers, musicians, writers, human rights defenders and others continue to be sued, threatened, attacked and even murdered with impunity in countries like Mexico, Russia, Iraq and Somalia for simply practicing their right to free expression. In our free expression community, impunity consistently ranks among the top concerns and remains a global issue that has defied all borders and political structures.
IFEX, based in Toronto, Canada, is the most extensive community of leaders defending and promoting freedom of expression around the world. The Cartoonists Rights Network International is a proud member of IFEX. Executive Director Robert Russell and Deputy Director Drew Rougier-Chapman will be two of the judges on the panel which will consist entirely of IFEX affiliated indivduals who are fighting for free speech rights.

Steve Artley retires from editorial cartooning (UPDATED)
Mere weeks after he helped organize the Annual Association of Editorial Cartoonist's annual meeting in Washington, DC, 2nd generation editorial cartoonist Steve Artley has just announced on his Facebook page that he's retiring from doing them -
Steven George Artley updated his status: "My editorial cartoons are no more. I am done, finished, kaput. Earlier today, I stepped down from the Alexandria Times. I guess it's time to try something else. What that something else may be, I don't know. Anyway, thanks to those of you who "liked" my work and left supportive comments."
In the following discussion, Steve (who is a friend of mine) also noted, he was "Tired of being an invisible Quixote. Feel like no one is out there. I make a sound and all I get back is my own echo. Or, I'm a ghost. I cast no shadow. There's no indication of measurable readership, no following, no community support... I get virtually no feedback, 'cept for the occasional hate mail. All that tells me it's time to go."
"Coincidentally, when I called my editor today, he said the mayor had just called, asking "who is that guy?" Meaning me, of course, who drew the local issue cartoon that portrayed him as an anthropomorphized bulldozer. I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR FOUR FREAKIN' YEARS, MISTER MAYOR!!!! And only NOW, you notice I'm there? This all underscores that I made the right decision."

Keeping up with Cyborg Richard Thompson's treatment part 5
First message from Richard Thompson post-brain surgery!:
"Hey guys, you gotta ret this. It's delightful."
"Hey guys, you gotta ret this. It's delightful."
Okay, the latest is that RT is resting comfortably, more alert than you think - more for you tomorrow.
Thank you so much for the warm thoughts and kind words...he will see and hear all of it, I promise.
Thank you so much for the warm thoughts and kind words...he will see and hear all of it, I promise.
New Update: Richard Thompson was moved to his room, finally and had an otherwise uneventful night and a good breakfast this morning. Strength in the extremities is good, he's alert, his voice is still very soft and he can only speak in rhymes. The last part I made up.
If all continues to evolve smoothly, he will be, remarkably, released later today.

Keeping up with Cyborg Richard Thompson's treatment part 4
Nick Galifianakis wrote at about 5 pm:
Richard is doing well enough to be released from the recovery room but there isn't a room available for him yet in the neuro ICU.
His vitals are all good (although he keeps setting off the low-heart-rate alarm because he has the resting heartrate of a hibernating whale). He's hungry but they haven't signed off on him having solids yet. Ginger ale is the only treat.
He currently looks like a Buddhist monk.
Meanwhile, Amy Thompson says:
Richard is awake and looks a little bit like a very skinny Dalai Lama. One of the first things he told me (other than it was the weirdest thing he'd ever been through) was that the neurosurgeon told him he had a very active thalamus. We think that's a good thing.
