Belgian comic book withdrawn amid outrage over racist depictions
Publisher 'profoundly sorry' for hurt caused by Spirou and the Blue Gorgon as it recalls 30,000 copies from shops
Jennifer Rankin
5 Nov 2024
Isabelle Debekker, à propos de « Spirou et la Gorgone bleue » : « Il y a des manières de représenter le monde qu'on n'est plus prêts à accepter »
Accusé de véhiculer des stéréotypes sexistes et racistes, « Spirou et la Gorgone bleue » a été retiré de la vente. Isabelle Debekker, directrice du Musée de la BD de Bruxelles, revient sur la polémique avec nous. Pour elle, sans oublier le passé, il faut avoir conscience de l'évolution de la société dans les œuvres d'aujourd'hui.

Clay Jones' Live Blog 2024 from DC
Cartoon number one was sketched out yesterday at home, inked further and colored on a train. Kids, the live blog is here. I'm posting live from Washington, DC. For those of you who are MAGAts, you know where DC is…it's where you tried to steal the last election. Tee-hee. I'll be tracking the results live from an election watch party in the District. Please refresh this page all night long. I don't want to create new posts for every cartoon I draw and annoy you with about 15 notifications throughout the night. Each new cartoon will be placed at the top of the blog. I'm going to post a few warm-up cartoons during the day but the real excitement will begin after 7 p.m. or so. Do you have questions? Here are the answers to the questions I've received in the past. What is a live blog? I'll be drawing cartoons reacting to results as they come in, in real time. © 2024 Clay Jones |

DC's Tom King in Philly to get out the vote on Election Day
Comic book writer Tom King thinks Philly can save the world
The author will be appearing at Brave New Worlds comics in Old City on Election Day for a get out the vote celebration.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Garbage no.2 (...garbage out)"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4024
So, that was the "October Surprise" this time around, huh? That was
really it? Old Uncle Joe, movin' kinda' slow, suddenly decides to pipe
up about some of Trump's throwaway trash talk and immediately shits
out a Basket Of Deplorables moment, right out on live TV in front of
god and his cat and everybody, less than a week before the "election"?
Well done. Even if MSNBC immediately changed its format to All
Abortion Rights Horror Stories All The Time, it probably still
wouldn't be enough to save the DNC's asses.
Just trying to imagine the scene around the DNC campaign offices right
now... imagining Uncle Joe, still and quiet for all these weeks — they
really thought they had him buried this time — suddenly clambering
clumsily out of the grave like Tor Johnson in Plan 9 From Outer Space
to drop a big, hot steaming Gaffe From The Beyond.
Mind you, I'm not arguing with the truth of El Presidente's blabbage
about Trump supporters being garbage, here; that's as maybe — but,
still, when you're a sitting President of the United Snakes Of Amerika
who's had to drop out of a re-election campaign after your brain fried
out on live national TV, and who's proudly facilitating and defending
the brutal, venal crimes of two of the most garbage human beings
walking the Earth at the moment, and whose actions in the past year
have at last fully revealed American/Western traditions and
institutions to be complete garbage... you might want keep a lid on
that name-calling shit.

Washington Times-Herald 1941 Sunday comics (updated)
I picked up a few Sunday comics tearsheets at the Civitan Flea Market last weekend. These all appear to be from Washington Times-Herald in late 1941. I think they might all have been saved for the sheet music on the back side - songs played by Benny Goodman, Fred Waring, and Guy Lombardo. A Baltimore Sun section from 1960s will be posted separately at some point.
