Catching up

A few news links from the past few weeks:

-Colin Upton switches from Blogspot to Livejournal and sums up the past year in one of his first new blog posts

-Hamilton Spectator political cartoonist Graeme MacKay chooses his faves from his own batch of local cartoons of 2006

-Comic Book Bin profiles Rosena Fung, creator of the comic strip Soap Box

-Ottawa Citizen cartoonist Cam Cardow looks back at the year in editorial cartoons and talks about free speech and how funny politicians are, etc

-The Edmonton Journal reviews a batch of recent graphic novels, including Guy Delisle's SHENZHEN.

-Miles Fielder writing for Living Scotsman.com provides a review of Wimbledon Green that declares "some kind of childhood's end informs the bittersweet tone of the book"

-Dave Sim compares Cerebus and Lynn Johnston's For Better or For Worse in a recent blog post:

"My own opinion is that Lynn Johnston's For Better or Worse is probably the closest analogue because it's also done in comics form and it's also a rare instance where comics characters actually age and change. A lot of people will tend to roll their eyes at that because For Better or Worse is not seen as a particularly sophisticated (as opposed to populist) strip and certainly if you were to try and read the entire history of the strip it would far more resemble a soap opera than it would a novel, but in terms of large narratives it is a very large narrative and it does strive for realism and the sense of being a document of actual lives, as opposed to the latest try at breathing life into an old trademark."
