'Cul de Sac' mention in 'Blink'
Columbus Alive—the alternative
newspaper in Columbus, Ohio—has started a news comics feature with local
cartoonists called “Sketch in the City.” The first strip is the work of
cartoonist Max Ink, who does the excellent “Blink” comics strip/comic books.
What’s the connection to D.C.? In the first installment, Max mentions the “Billy”
featuring the co-exhibit of Bill Watterson and D.C. comics icon Richard
Thompson. Click on the image below to see the full strip.

Arlington's own fotonovela
La Dieta: Que Quito a Los Lopez Varios Pesos de Encima, Arlington Department of Environmental Services, is a Spanish-language photonovel (i.e. photographs with word balloons) explaining how you don't need a car to get around in Arlington. Copies were spotted today at the Shirlington Library.

A few pictures of Al Feldstein
AP is reporting that the great Mad Magazine editor Al Feldstein has passed away. I knew him slightly. He used to send seriously leftist emails to people he knew. I will set about saving them for a the Billy Ireland Library at Ohio State.
That's Craig Fischer, Richard Thompson, Roger Langridge and Al.
