Now that Free Comic Book Day is over and the Wide Awake Press offering, Eats, has been out for a bit, I guess it’s safe to post the story I contributed to the book: “The 100% True Origin of the Food Known (In Civilized Parts) as the ‘Hush Puppy.'”
You can get the whole Eats book, featuring J. Chris Campbell, Rob Ullman, Brad McGinty, and many other great cartoonists free in PDF or CBZ format: Eats download page.

Despite the fact that the Dems have been claiming it’s “Time For Change,” apparently the Crue is expanding into a brand new “Theatre of Pain” and heading into “Danger” to “Fight For Your Rights.”
Frankly, I’m tired of the “Same Ol’ Situation (S.O.S.)” in Iraq, and so to you, Motley Crue, I say, “Knock ‘Em Dead, Kid,” “Stick to Your Guns“… and give those insurgents a “Piece Of Your Action.”
Regrettably, the fine citizens of the nation of Iraq these days would more likely implore you to “Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away).”

I’m currently the recipient of all email that comes to the “info@” email address listed as the contact address for NACAE/teachingcomics.org,and every so often I get an email from someone in the press wanting a quote about the growing presence of comics and graphic novels in educational settings. When this happens I usually suggest they contact someone more auspicious than I–I usually suggest James Sturm of The Center for Cartoon Studies, Michael Bitz of The Comic Book Project, etc.–but invariably, they wind up talking to me instead. I guess I’m the low hanging Google fruit for this sort of thing. Anyway, I usually don’t link to the articles, mainly since they’re often those annoying “Pow! Boom! Zing! Comics are blah blah blah” sorts of things, but in this case the article turned out to be a nicely written bit, mainly about cartoonist and teacher Leonard Rifas and a new class he’s offering in Seattle. The article’s here, and be sure to check out the comments section–it’s almost as interesting as the article itself.
