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.

Comics and Cartoons in the National Gallery of Art (and CVS)

There's some cartoons and comic books that are on display in excellent temporary exhibits at the National Gallery of Art. In their Aquatint: From Its Origins to Goya exhibit, which looks at a technique used to simulate washes in etchings or engravings, Rowlandson and Gillray are represented with famous pieces:

 

 

And then, in the truly excellent exhibit on photography, The New Woman Behind the Camera, an issue of True Comics (July 1944) is on display with other publications about photography, telling the story about a photojournalist:

and then, just for fun, around town, you can find Dave Coverly art for the Bark Box company. This is from a CVS in Arlington, although I think he's no longer working for the pet toy company.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "...in the headlights"

From DC's anarchist cartoonist Mike Flugennock -

"...in the headlights"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3352

Yep, that's right, kiddies. You heard right — they actually looked us 
right in the face and said they didn't see it coming. Cripes, 
everybody else and their dog saw it coming; it was on the TV and the 
papers and the Internet for weeks, months. Same with Delta.

Really — the leaders of the most powerful nation on Earth, with a 
metric buttload of information and resources at their disposal, didn't 
see the latest'n'greatest Covid variant coming? Y'mean, they couldn't 
get hold of somebody at the WHO, the CDC, the NIH, the Salk Institute 
who actually knew a thing or two about virology who could've thrown 
them a heads-up? If there's nothing else Anthony Fauci ever did that 
was worth a yard sign, this was it.

So, they didn't see it coming? Uh huh. I'm thinking there's something 
else that bunch isn't going to see coming, either.
