Where to begin with of first official newspost… How about we dig into the e-mail and see what’s shown up?

Our first bit of news comes from a Mister David Gallaher writer of the werewolf slash western comic HIGH MOON which is currently running on Zuda comics, which apparently updates fortnightly. David would also like me to direct you to the production blog for the comic. Here you can find more of artist Steve Ellis’s work for the comic. David stressed that he and Steve are available for interviews, so we may just take him up on that. Then again he also used the word fortnightly in his e-mail so I can already tell he’s a character and a half.

Be sure to check out some of the posts that concern the creation of the comic. It’s always nice to glean a thing or two from others!

Next in our inbox is a message from the creator of Lucky and Guy. I’m just going to quote what she said:

Lucky and Guy? They’re pretty cool. They just graduated and they’re still
looking for work, so my heart goes out to them. They talk politics a lot,
but their opinions aren’t always the most informed, but their bleeding
liberal hearts are in the right place, bless their souls. I’ve been telling
their stories in comics since I first got them published in my middle school
newspaper. If you check out my website, http://www.luckyandguy.com/, you’ll
be able to see all the comics that have been published in my high school
and college newspapers (Warning: quality varies), and beyond. Who knows?
You might like it.

So go ahead and give them a visit, afterall, you might like it.

And our final bit of news from the inbox is from Geoffrey Thorne who wants me to direct everyone to his comic GEOFFREY THORNE’S DREAMNASIUM which can be found at Webcomics Nation. He also mentions that he’ll be wrapping up his second issue within the next couple of weeks. So Geoffrey? Congrats on the milestone. I can’t wait to hear about issue number fifty.

If you have any news to send us, you can e-mail us, or use our handy on-site form! So keep the news coming people, don’t make us search you guys out!

Two bits of collaborative news today!

First off, a very serious issue brought to our attention from Lindsay Totty:

The Washington Post recently ran a story on a group of syndicated
cartoonists planning a protest this weekend. They’re targeting newspaper
editors who choose not to syndicate one strip created by or featuring
minorities because they’re already publishing another strip — often just
one strip — that meets that “diversity demand.”

The cartoonists drew strips with similar plot lines — all of which involve
an older, white character lamenting the appearance of “politically correct”
minority-drawn strips on the comics page.

Be sure to check out candorville.com for information on the protest.

I participated in the protest as well. My contribution can be read at

We’ll keep an eye out for updates on this situation. I suggest everyone keep an eye out here, this seems pretty important.

Next, Remi has informed me of a crossover that is running on Comicgenesis. It’s about an evil coalition invading other webcomic universes. I am not sure if it’s a private project, or open for people to add to, but check out Evil Overlords United, these things are pretty cool.

It’s been a bit of a slow weekend for news, but be sure to read our two spotlight comics, Jonny Crossbones and Scandal Sheet!
