ComicsDC: Comics Research Bibliography citations update, 12/23/21

This is a long one, because I've started catching up with the animation obituaries that I missed during the year, using CartoonBrew's list. Also, Clark Burscough has wrapped up his weekly linkage coverage at TCJ.com a day early, and I regularly find great material from him for interviews & business stories, but he includes a lot of other material each week as well. Check him out regularly on Fridays.

We'll be back tomorrow with more movie reviews and animation obituaries if nothing else.
