Pencils at Dawn
Thursday, August 9th, 2007
Pencils at Dawn is a new cartoon blog on which Mike Jacobsen and Phil Selby battle with their pencils over one keyword. Very good stuff, and not just because it happens to feature the Penguin.

Anticipation
Monday, July 30th, 2007
Anticipation - Warner Bros is really taking this viral movie marketing to the next level. I mean, this Batman movie will take on a “new, darker take” on the Joker ? So what ? It’s been only 20 years since The Killing Joke… And it’s only slated for release a year from now ! What are they going to do next ? Fly a plane in a building somewhere ? Oh, I guess that would be bad taste…
But then, maybe I’m just a bit pissed off because I always seem to get to know about this only afterwards.

40 Part 29 - Don’t vote Cliche
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007
These images are from a Flemish Government awareness campaign that was set up to coincide with one election or other (we have so many of them, it’s hard to keep count). The general idea is clear : don’t just vote for white men - other people may be just as qualified for the job. But the use of superheros made it stand out. For a while.

40 Part 14 - US Superhero Stamps
Monday, May 21st, 2007
Used to be a time when you could find stamps with US comic characters from countries all over the world, except from the US themselves. Since 2005, the US Post Office is finally catching on. Brilliant move, although I think the choice of characters is a bit too much driven by marketing, and the art is not that representative. Personnaly, I would have had one artist doing all the portraits (Darwyn Cooke, or Alex Ross). Still, it beats licking the back of a president…

40 Part 9 - The Original Batman
Monday, May 21st, 2007 
The son of Frank D Foster II (aptly called Frank D. Foster III) claims his father is the true creator of the Batman, and he has the art to prove it. Of sorts.

40 Part 3 - Batman, The Movie
Sunday, May 20th, 2007
I admit it, my first real exposure to Batman was through the Adam West incarnation in the TV series. Apparently a film was made as well at that time. Oh well, I guess we’ll just call it “camp”…

Superheroes hit the pavement
