Catching up with some news links that we missed over the last little while :

1. David Watkins, a teacher at Weston Collegiate Institute in Toronto is being awarded a Governor General Award for history teaching: "In one assignment students, after studying a newspaper article about the Hero Deficit within the Black community, create a super hero who addresses problems exclusive to Black people. They design a costume and come up with abilities relevant to their environment. They also dream up a character flaw for their hero. The project concludes with the creation of a one-page comic strip."

2. Herve St-Louis profiles Fisher by Philip Street.

3. Cartoonist's historic mural to be reinstalled.

4. Citytv talks to Toronto comic shops about dollar parity.
