Bush Leaguers redux

Actually, I knew this, because I bought a copy at OSU, but forgot to mention it. Luckily Dave Astor caught it. "New Catalog of Cartoons From 'Bush Leaguers' Exhibit", E&P Online November 12, 2007. This was the show at American University this summer - it was excellent. My review appears in the new issue of the International J of Comic Art which is wending its way through the postal system now.

Nate Beeler goes national

Nate's emailed me that he's signed a syndication deal with Darryl Cagle's Cagle Cartoon syndicate and written about it on his blog. Congratulations, Nate. For those who don't pick up the Examiner regularly, Nate's cartoons are one of the best things in it.

Dave Astor adds a bit more to the story. So Nate, are you a right-leaning libertarian?

cIndy Center interview - Senior Editor David Astor at Editor and Publisher

Chris Shields interviewed "Senior Editor David Astor at Editor and Publisher" for his cIndy Center podcast and posted it on September 25th, 2007. Hopefully a transcription of this will eventually appear in the International Journal of Comic Art as part of our pioneers of comics scholarship series.

Chris writes:

The 100th episode of the cIndyCenter.com podcast! Huge milestone! Our friend David Astor talks with us about the field of contemporary cartoonists. His work at "Editor and Publisher", both the online version and the monthly magazine, keeps him very busy. He shares his insights into the Syndicated Comic industry. This is an amazing interview and one that I am sure you will enjoy. Listen to the interview with David Astor.

Bashing of Post over Opus censorship continues

Here's an interesting one - one could reasonably expect CNS to stand for Catholic News Service instead of the actual Cybercast News Service. See "Papers Criticized for Pulling Cartoon on Radical Islam," by Melanie Hunter, CNSNews.com Senior Editor, August 28, 2007.

Aha! Apparently it is Catholic - see Dave Astor's story.

Oct 26 - Toles to receive conservation award tonight

Dave Astor reports the story over at Editor and Publisher. His Syndicate World articles are well-worth following btw.

About a year and a half-ago, the Washington Post Magazine ran a long article by Toles on his garden.
