Robb rewrote the last two panels:

From Mike Lynch via Antonio Marques we are treated to a four page informative article on “How An Animated Film Is Made” written by Jerome K. Muller and illustrated by VIP (Virgil Partch) from a 1988 issue of Animation Magazine.

Except for The Chosen The Future is Dystopian.

An illustrator born in Winnipeg has collaborated with a two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist to produce Justice Warriors, a top-selling graphic novel series that satirizes the profound instability of global democracy as we know it.

In the latest issue, Vote Harder, Ben Clarkson and Matt Bors, founder of the influential comics magazine The Nib, return to Bubble City, “the first perfect city, a shining metropolis nestled amid a sea of crime … governed by a visionary pop-star mayor, The Prince.”

Ben Waldman at The Winnepeg Free Press talks to Justice Warriors creators Matt Bors and Ben Clarkson.

The universe they’ve created is an endless slum,with wealthy property owners banding together to create a bubble at its heart, separated by a transparently present boundary between itself and the have-nots, says Bors.

It’s a political thriller in a buddy-cop uniform set in the hairy middle ground between highbrow and lowbrow.

Letters: Comic crossed line with insult of Harris

From The Advocate:

Your paper continues to publish the unfunny “Mallard Fillmore” in the Comics & Puzzles section. Often, this totally fringe right-wing strip makes me roll my eyes because everything it espouses is based on lies and propaganda, but the recent depiction of Kamala Harris altering her pronunciation because she is told she is addressing people in Atlanta, was downright racist and insulting.

Oh, and did I say unfunny?

The Advocate should drop this strip. (It doesn’t even merit being moved to the Op-Ed page.)

But I can’t get my picture on the cover of the New Yorker

If you could be anywhere right now, where would it be?

I hate to admit this, it pains me to say, it but on the cover of the New Yorker. The magazine still has the pull on me I have never been able to break away from since I first started there. Trying to be as honest as can be.
