Fluggenock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Cheap Groceries"

"Cheap Groceries"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4015


On top of this CNN Town Hall shartage, my regular "Random 15" from 
MSNBC included Kay-Kay speaking at a rally where she makes the big 
buildup to the working class, only to cap it with a declaration that 
she will ban price gouging on groceries... all in that classic 
delivery of hers, that sounds as if she studied public speaking under 
Hillary Clinton, like a foreign actress who had to learn her lines 
phonetically. Dear GOD, just listen to that scolding junior-high 
principal voice, so full of passion and conviction when she talks 
about goddamn CHEAP GROCERIES. ...and the crowd's going wild for that 
shit; just listen to 'em, as if cued by an electric sign, like a 
game-show audience.

This, apparently, is going to be her signature achievement if she wins 
the "election", if her hands aren't too full with the goddamn 
GENOCIDE. Yeah... not a Great Society, or voting rights, or going to 
the Moon... nahh, just cheap groceries.

"In CNN town hall, Harris refuses to place conditions on Israeli 
military support, pledges to work with Republicans on border wall",

Halloween comics giveaway was a success again

 

The Deadpool / Wolverine noise makers were surprisingly popular.

 Final count is about 160 kids, some of whom took candy or comics bookmarks from the ALA instead, and some whose parents who took comics.  Most kids took only one or two in spite of encouragement to take more. I packed up twice and then unpacked for very grateful latecomers. This might have been the busiest year ever.

There were only about 6 comics for Trick or Read this year... 1 from Dark Horse - Where Monsters Lie and 4 new from Marvel - Fantastic Four, Venom, Star Wars Kylo Ren, and Spider-boy (whomever that is). These are all 13+ rated because you wouldn't want to put out any comics actually for kids... Although Marvel reprinted the Spidey and Friends from a couple of years ago yet again... and the kids remembered having gotten it already. Still, at least Marvel did it, which is more than one can say about DC.

The 2024 new comics, for the record

 

 Anyway with leftovers from previous years and some FCBD issues, I gave away about 2 1/2 Diamond boxes and have slightly over a box left.

My thanks to Fantom Comics for ordering the Halloween bundles for me. Did they miss anything though?

Nov 3: BOOK CLUB w/ PATRICK HORVATH joining virtually at Fantom Comics

BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES BOOK CLUB w/ PATRICK HORVATH joining virtually!
>> SUNDAY, November 3rd @ 4pm

We're hosting a book club for the cult hit of the season, BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES! Richard Scarry's Busytown meets Dexter in this small-town serial killer story 🔪 Writer/artist PATRICK HORVATH joins our in-person book club via zoom, so come thru with your best questions!

Don't. Murder. The locals.This is small-town serial killer, upstanding citizen, and adorable brown bear Samantha Strong's cardinal rule. After all, there's a sea of perfectly ripe potential victims in the big city just beyond the forest, and when you've worked as hard as Sam to build a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, warm decor, and the aroma of cedar trees and freshly baked apple pie…the last thing you want is to disturb the peace.So you can imagine her indignation when one of Woodbrook's own meets a grisly, mysterious demise—and you wouldn't blame her for doing anything it takes to hunt down her rival before the town self-destructs and Sheriff Patterson starts (literally) barking up the wrong tree. Cute critters aren't immune to crime in this original graphic novel debut by writer-artist Patrick Horvath.

Decline and Fall of the Editorial Cartoonist ... from 1957!

By Bruce Guthrie 

Billy Ireland Museum description: Letter from John Stampone to John Milt Morris describing the group's founding.  1957?

Cartoons by John Stampone letterhead 

Dear Milt -

This is a brief history of the AAEC.
In 1957, January was the month, I read an article in the Saturday Review called 'The Decline And Fall Of The Editorial Cartoonist'.

Needless to say, I didn't like what the article said -- so my first thought was to form an association of editorial cartoonist [sic] and hope that it would help to restore some prestige to the profession.

Jim Berryman, Gib Crockett, Hal Talburt and Dan Dowling agreed to endose [sic] my plan. Jim wrote a letter to send out to a list of cartoonists that I had put together, and I got my boss Mel Ryder to underwrite the expenses -- and we were off!

The response from the return camos [?] was so great -- in one month we had our charter and in three months our first convention in Washington, D. C. — The rest is history!

Thanks
John

JEWCE: The Jewish Comics Experience Documentary film can also be seen online

The exhibit opens to the public this week at the Capital Jewish Museum, and I'll be writing about it soon. In the meantime, besides the pictures I posted a link to yesterday, you can watch this film.

JLTV (Jewish Life Television) with
The Center for Jewish History and TurnKey Pictures Present
JEWCE: The Jewish Comics Experience Documentary Special

Los Angeles, CA – Attention all fans of pop culture and Jewish history! JLTV (Jewish Life Television) is thrilled to announce its exciting partnership with The Center for Jewish History and TurnKey Pictures to bring viewers JEWCE: The Jewish Comics Experience – A JLTV Documentary Special!

This captivating documentary program (30 minutes) uncovers the real-life origin story of comic books and superheroes, created by pioneering Jewish Americans from World War II to the present day. As colorful and thrilling as the comics themselves, this program is a must-see for comic lovers and history buffs!

"We are proud and excited to partner with JLTV and TurnKey Pictures to bring this important documentary to life. The history of Jewish creators in the world of comics has long been an untold story, and through this collaboration we are able to highlight their extraordinary contributions to both American culture and the global imagination," said Dr. Gavriel Rosenfeld, President of the Center for Jewish History.

Jewish creators played a foundational role in the comic book industry, dating back to the 1930s and 1940s. Iconic figures like Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the Jewish duo who created Superman, infused their characters with themes of social justice and the immigrant experience, reflecting their own backgrounds as children of Jewish immigrants.

"Bringing Jewish stories to life is at the heart of JLTV's mission, and JEWCE is a perfect example of that. We are excited to shine a light on the incredible legacy of Jewish comic book creators and the cultural resonance of their work that continues to inspire people around the world," said Brad Pomerance, Executive Vice President, JLTV.

Jewish creators have continued to shape the industry to today, giving rise to diverse characters and stories that address issues of morality, identity, and heroism, often drawing from Jewish history, folklore, and values.

"At a time when stories of perseverance and creativity are more important than ever, JEWCE: The Jewish Comics Experience reminds us of the enduring impact of Jewish visionaries. Their contributions to the comic book industry helped shape modern-day superheroes, and their stories continue to inspire new generations," said Roy Schwartz, pop culture historian, Co-Producer of the documentary, and Chair of the JewCE Awards.
