We’re back on the grid momentarily…but only partially. You see, as we’ve complained in the past, our main Gmail account has been approaching 100% for a few weeks now, and we’ve been too preoccupied with other pressing matters to attend to cleaning out our mailbox properly. We attempted to download all of our messages to our mac mail account via POP, but, in all honesty, ended up downloading everything twice, by accident. Since this created a far too unwieldy inbox, we deleted that account and set it to download overnight before we left for our vakay.

Upon arising this morning we were stunned to find that our Gmail account had instead of downloading peacefully, been SUSPENDED for at least 24 hours due to vaguely alluded to TOS violations. Of course, since we were on the road most of yesterday, this was not as frustrating as it sounds, but the reality is that our Gmail account is our main interface with the world, for business and personal matters and losing access to it is a serious matter.

Yes, yes we know it is free. And yes, we probably shouldn’t have downloaded nearly 4G of mail over a period of 4 days.

But what really gets our goat about this is the inability to contact an actual human at Google. We dutifully followed all the links and sent emails and whatnot, but after 5 hours we have yet to receive anything resembling an actual human response.

Luckily, we had some failsafes in place, but the takeaway from all of this is that our already tenuous faith in a hostile universe has been further tested. In (ha ha) Googling the words “gmail” and “suspended” we came up with one blog post that said simply, “Google is the new Microsoft” and we’re deathly afraid that is indeed the case. Sure maybe we did something wrong, but it can’t be THAT uncommon — a trained guide would be able to recognize what happened from our explanation and offer us some assurance that we would be able to get back into our primary email account again at some unspecified time. Or maybe tell us we were SOL. Tell us SOMETHING. The fact that they don’t even offer that is deeply annoying. We may very well be switching my primary email soon.

Oh boy! Move over Heroes for Hire! Down in the back, Supergirl! There’s a new lass is town, and she’s going to make all of you look like Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. Variety is reporting that Todd McFarlane and screenwriter Josh Olson are teaming for a “revisionist” take on THE WIZARD OF OZ. Olson, who wrote the script for A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, fleshed out an idea by McFarlane, who will produce. How revisionist?

McFarlane has a vision of Oz that is a dark, edgy and muscular PG-13, without a singing Munchkin in sight. That was clear with a toy line he launched several years ago that featured a buxom Dorothy and Toto reimagined as an oversized snarling warthog.

Bearing in mind that these toys look something like the picture on the right, one wonders if the world is ready for a pornstar-proportioned Dorothy with cigarette burns on her hip. Luckily, Olson is wondering the same thing.

Olson has something a little tamer, and PG, in mind. “I saw those toys, and Dorothy as some bondage queen isn’t something I want to do,” Olson told Daily Variety. “The appealing thing about the Baum books to me is how wildly imaginative they are. There are crazy characters from amazing places. I want this to be ‘Harry Potter’ dark, not ‘Seven’ dark.”

Todd has his own ideas.

“I want to create (an interpretation) that has a 2007 wow factor. You’ve still got Dorothy trapped in an odd place, but she’s much closer to the Ripley from ‘Alien’ than a helpless singing girl.”

Now being a bit of an OZ fan ourselves — we’re not Eric Shanower level scholars, but we read all 14 L. Frank Baum books many times — we can say with certainty that there is indeed a pretty dark thread in the books if you want to go there. In the original origin of the Tin Woodman, for instance, he kept shopping off bits of his body until he was all tin replacement parts. There are plenty of cannibals, evil slave drivers and other disturbing elements in the original books. In other words…FAIRUZA BALK!

However we in no way condone bondage queen Dorothy. That very much goes against Baum’s vision of a world of innocent yet spunky and heroic young American girls.

Controversy is growing over the above cartoon by Ed Gamble of the Florida Times Union. Gamble says his intent was to criticize the “no snitch” custom; and he knew the cartoon would be controversial:

“I find the word ‘ho’ very offensive and think it is tearing away the moral fabric in the Black society and degrading to the women who are the pillars in this society. Now the ‘No Snitch’ rule of law that is spreading is causing more harm. This is not an Imus racist thing. This is a cartoon showing that someone can murder and that no snitch is the ticket and that (rap music billboard) disrespect for the Black women is common among these thugs.

However, several groups. including the NAACP, think Gamble needs to apologize:

In a letter sent to all Jacksonville television stations as well as the newspaper, the Jacksonville Leadership Coalition called the cartoon “racist, culturally insensitive and degrading to African-American women.”
In addition to the apology, the group also called for the firing of cartoonist Ed Gamble, the hiring of a person of African-American descent for the newspaper’s editorial board and a meeting with black leaders to “resolve the issue.”

The letter quotes the Rev. Rudolph McKissick Jr., who described the cartoon as “insensitive to African American women, children and the community.”

Super duper link of the day! DRAWN! digs through the archives of the Charlie Rose Show and finds cartoonist interviews including Charles Schulz, above. Other subjects include “Garry Trudeau, Matt Groening and James L. Brooks, Scott Adams, Dorothy Lichtenstein, Art Spiegelman, and a panel discussion about the controversial Mohammed cartoons.”

Against all odds, THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN: BLACK DOSSIER is coming out in November. And it will have two covers, according to a DC press release:

WildStorm/DC Comics announces that THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN: BLACK DOSSIER HC will feature two covers which may be ordered separately.

THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN: BLACK DOSSIER HC STANDARD EDITION features a black border and shows Mina Harker running through a hall with the Black Dossier in hand. This cover will be available to all U.S. retailers with Diamond accounts and retailers in the book trade market.

THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN: BLACK DOSSIER HC VARIANT EDITION features a blue background and shows Mina Harker in bed reading the Black Dossier. This cover will be available only to U.S. retailers with Diamond accounts.

Retailers may adjust orders through the new Final Order Cutoff date of August 23. Retailers who do not adjust their orders will receive the covers in a split of approximately 50/50.

As a reminder, this title will only be offered for sale by DC Comics to accounts in the United States.

THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN: BLACK DOSSIER HC is scheduled to arrive in stores on November 14.

Will you buy a copy? We might just.

Phil Yeh has been on tour for 25 years or so, and this time he’s touring behind DINOSAURS ACROSS AMERICA, which, the press release tell us, has sold some 200,000 copies in B&W. Phil’s busy busy tour schedule is in the jump.

Cartoonist Phil Yeh, creator of NBM Publishing’s geography-teaching graphic novel Dinosaurs Across America, has released the fall 2007 schedule of his 25-year world tour that uses humor and cartoons to promote literacy and the arts.

In August, NBM released Dinosaurs Across America in a full-color, hardbound format. A black-and-white comic-book version of the book has been reprinted eight times and sold nearly 200,000 copies.

Both Yeh and NBM have long histories in graphic novels. NBM, the first American house to publish graphic novels consistently, is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Yeh has been in graphic novels for nearly as long. Well before graphic novels became a bookstore staple, Yeh – the godfather of the modern American graphic novel — was encouraging his fellow artists to dive into the format.

Yeh and a band of artists, known collectively as Cartoonists Across America, have painted more than 1600 murals since Yeh’s tour began in 1985. After its end in 2010, Yeh plans to finish the feature-length documentary Planet Literacy: The Cartoonists Across America. He is featured in the new book Hometown Heroes (HarperCollins), about 50 Americans who are changing the world. And he makes for a lively, funny, and opinionated interview.

§ The LA times looks at the practice of “slabbing which despite what you think, is not a preference you can check on Suicide Girls.

“It’s changed the nature of the hobby, it’s turned comic books into a medium of exchange instead of a medium of entertainment,” groaned James Friel, who works at Comic Relief, the longtime landmark store in Berkeley. To Friel, who has been collecting comics since 1958, “it makes these books a sealed-up commodity. You can’t read them. It makes me sad. Some of these books will be sealed up forever.”

§ Neil Gaiman reviews the final issue of the WEEKLY WORLD NEWS:

So I picked up the final copy today, because I was passing a cash register and it was the last one after all. Even allowing for the probability that it was filled with articles they’d commissioned and hadn’t run because they weren’t very good, or that they were reprints, it… well, the whole tone of the thing felt wrong. The articles were just silly. It wasn’t story logic any longer. A baby gets delivered in an avocado because the sperm donation got mixed with avocado sushi… There wasn’t the feeling reading it that anyone could have believed it. Not children, not the stupid, not someone who’d been born and raised on Mars and this was the only thing they’d read. It was like the joke had become nobody could believe this stuff. And now nobody was buying it. It had a Sergio Aragones drawing though, and some comics…

§ Indian tech writer has the score on DC vs Marvelas he analyses proposed video game team-ups:

The two belong to different universes, but most comic book veterans would agree that they are both excellent leaders, strong, skilled, as well as resourceful. Playing co-op with these two would be a great experience. Captain America boasts of superhuman strength and agility; and as for Batman, he is the most skilled mortal ever. One can demolish a tank with his bare hands, and the other can form a battle strategy to defeat an army within minutes. Maybe he should have had 300 Spartans behind him, no offense to King Leonidas. I believe this would be the ultimate combination of strength and intelligence in a game.

§ The Escapist examines the myths and realities of the fanboy stereotype vis a vis gamers:

The gaming community’s perception of the stereotypical fanboy neatly mirrors the public perception of the stereotypical gamer, generally described as a male aged 13-16, whose potent mix of adolescent hormones and insecurity cause him to lash out against slights both real and imagined. Obviously not every identified fanboy conforms to this rather unflattering stereotype, and as with the exaggerated “comic book guy,” this teenage straw man is probably inaccurate more often than not. image However, if we set aside questions about the accuracy of the imagery and explore why the stereotype exists, we can identify how the unique characteristics of the game industry shaped the fanboy into who he is today.

§Speaking of video games, game designer/guru Ken Rolston points out some fundamental truths about storytelling and human nature:

He explains that linear forms like film and novels are better at telling stories than games—something that’s looking to be flat-out true at the moment—and concluded that inference (such as the ruins in Morrowin) is the best way for gamers to experience compelling narrative which can, at peak, invoke an intangible melancholy.

In the Renaissance, melancholy was a sign of genius. We don’t think he was necessarily referring to that interpretation.

“Intangible melancholy” is truly the greatest result of art. Kotaku has a longer transcript and it’s absorbing reading.

It seems that television favorite chef Jamie Oliver, is going to become a cartoon. but not just any cartoon — an AARDMAN cartoon.

Jamie Oliver is to be immortalised as a cartoon character by Wallace and Gromit creators Aardman Animations.

The celebrity chef will be presented as a 10-year-old cartoon version of himself in the show called little j.

The series, made by the Bristol-based Oscar winning animators, follows little j on a quest through a surreal cartoon world as he searches for the secret of becoming a great chef.

The cartoon, aimed at seven to 11-year-olds, is populated with bizarre characters such as a depressed ham and a mad scientist called Eggs Benedict.

The show will have 52 11-minute episodes. Guess the popularity of cartoon cooks evidenced by RATATOUILLE is spilling over.

We’re on the road for a real and proper vacation for the next few days. Blogging will be sparse, but Mark Coale will be keeping the home fires burning and we’ll be checking in every day at least a bit.

Dan Didio’a interview re: COUNTDOWN last week has been much quoted, as he reacts to ongoing blogosphere and message board snark:

Given that there seems to be a very vocal – and I don’t know its size – group of fans online that is counter to that hasn’t really affected sales at all. I find it humorous that information that comes to me from online is erroneous in regards to the actual sales figures. I find it humorous that certain retailers decide to make blatant statements about how they’re going to be striking back at the book by making returns, when in fact the portion of books that they’re actually returning is less than 0.01% of the books that we sold.

The reality is that the sales are there, the strength is there, and I have a lot of faith in regards to how the series works and how it’s moving forward. From my standpoint, there were stumbles along the way, just as there were stumbles with 52, but the best part about it is that we were able to sit down with the talent and figure out how we would be able to make course corrections during the series, which we did. We recreated the pacing, and we put the focus back on Countdown again, which is what it is about. It was going too far abroad in regards to making sure everything lined up perfectly, and when you do that, something was going to be serviced improperly. I want to make sure that Countdown is serviced properly. Countdown, as I said, is the spine of the DC Universe, but it works better if it stands on its own, rather than stands on the strength of everything around it. I feel very confident in where the series is going, I’m very excited about where the story is going, and the best part about it is that it’s where we thought it was always going to be, so we haven’t had to change that much along the way.

Valerie D’Orazio has her own reaction:

After reading the Newsarama interview with Dan Didio, I have come to the conclusion that the situation at DC has become so dire that to continue to publically mock “Countdown” would be in bad taste.

Honestly, I do not see the current regime at the company lasting any more than 6-12 months tops. “Final Countdown” will indeed mark the end of an era, an era that started strongly — if not controversially — with “Identity Crisis,” reached its peak with “52,” and crashed and burned with “Countdown.”

What were the mistakes?

BONUS: Newsarama has DC’s November books. Analysis: if you like COUNTDOWN you will love November!

From England a shocking tale of good turned to the dark side: A watchdog group called Which? has determined that cartoon heroes are being used to sell unhealthy snacks to children:

Spidey was blasted for backing sugary Nesquik Chocolate Flavour Cereal, while Scooby-Doo Mini Pizza Breadsticks were found to be high in salt.

A Which? spokesman said: “The companies which own and use these characters need to review their policies.”

Marvel, who own Spider- Man, said they did not have “a specific policy” on using their characters in food marketing.

Scooby-Doo owners Warner Bros said their characters were used “in a responsible manner”.

Meanwhile, in the US, where kids are even tubbier than in the UK, several cartoon nets have

already vowed to be more mindful

Cartoon Network Friday joined the growing list of media companies joining the fight against childhood obesity.”Cartoon Network will limit the use of its original characters related to its company-owned original series targeted to children under the age of 12 to food and beverage products that meet specific nutritional criteria,” the network said. That came after Discovery Kids and Nickelodeon had made similar pledges

Bring back Count Chocula. That would make everything OK again.

Eddie Campbell has been looking at logos:

I got around my complete lack of confidence by cutting a couple of letters out of a magazine and sticking another incongrous one in between. The whole cover was quite simple and tasteful. Phill Elliott did the hand separated colours. I never attempted that, and thank goodness I probably won’t ever have to now. Much later I tried the cut-out thing again and this time coupled it with the blobby technique (see yesterday) for the Bacchus logo. Actually, the original was a baroque horror, with a pictorial element and a Kleenex smear all thrown into the mix. By the time Evans hacked it down to size and spread it out a bit it was much sweeter. That single cut out letter gives the thing an unearned air of authority.

He talks about the FROM HELL logo here.

§ Dick Hyacinth gives us what has long been foretold

At long last, the long-promised Liefeld career retrospective is here. Or at least the first part of it. Just to be clear, let me explain what I’m doing. I’m not a Liefeld fan. I liked him quite a bit when I was a teenager, but that was a long time ago. What I’m trying to do here, actually, is put myself back into that adolescent mindset in order to reconstruct what it was about Liefeld that attracted young boys in droves back about 15-20 years ago. I’m not here to mock Liefeld or persuade you re: the quality of his work. This is a descriptive project, not a prescriptive one.

§ We were sent some PR from AniBOOM which appears to be a pretty wide ranging web resource for animators; a little Googling and we dug up the following:

Aniboom, an Internet home for animators to create and share original clips, is launching its own channel on video site YouTube with the aim of hatching the next animated blockbuster that could rival “The Simpsons” or “South Park.” A small startup founded in Israel last year, Aniboom offers professional and amateur animators a place to showcase their clips and test their popularity with Web audiences.

§ Speaking of cartoons, Floyd Norman is to be named a Disney Legend

§ Jog looks at COMIC FOUNDRY:

Comic Foundry is a good-natured magazine, eager to attract a wide swathe of readers with its light, peppy coverage of a broad range of comics. I ought to clarify ‘coverage’ - Tim Leong, the editor in chief/art director/co-creator (with Amber Mitchell), describes the magazine’s journalistic focus as “lifestyle stories - how comics relate to your everyday life.” As you have probably heard, the magazine has no interest in engaging with comics as individual artistic works, or at least no more such interest than it takes to facilitate an interview’s progress or fill a “what to buy” sidebar. Mind you, this isn’t to say that the magazine is bereft of criticism, but all such critical thought, when it comes up, is directed toward cultural considerations.

Brave Canadian Don McPherson offers some commentary on the Ellison/Fantagraphics settlement:

But there’s no denying this one is outside of the norm. As I read the settlement details online last week, I was struck by the impression that the two sides were not unlike bickering siblings, and a parent finally stepped in and said, “That’s it you two, go clean your rooms. And if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”

Meanwhile, Fantagraphics has begun to auction off some of the items donated for their defense fund, and there are some precious objects in there, so check it out.

Study of home loan best rate of Szeged, Hungary showed that home loan best rate s carried in pockets of pants and/or worn on belts could result in loss of quantity and quality of active sperm cells by men.

Murmurs on the internets of renewed activity on that proposed JLA film. MTV has hints from the man who would be Flash, Ryan Reynolds:

Ryan Reynolds says “The Flash” may yet live. It just might not be in the superhero’s own film first. Just hours ago, our own Shawn Adler peppered the oft-rumored star of “The Flash” about his association with the DC comics speedster and here’s what Reynolds said: “‘The Flash’ isn’t dead at all. There’s talk of it being a JLA movie, the Justice League having them all together. And then there’s other talk of doing a ‘Flash’ movie with [director] Shawn Levy.”

The SciFi newswire has even more concrete rumors from IESB.net:

Kiernan and Michele Mulroney’s script has been warmly received at Warner Brothers, and the studio is envisioning the movie as a launching pad for others movies based on the Flash, Wonder Woman, the Green Lantern and Aquaman, as well as a shot in the arm for the Superman franchise, the site reported, citing anonymous studio sources. The studio wants to start production on Justice League as soon as the first quarter of 2008 for a summer 2009 release, the site reported. That calls into question the timing of an expected sequel to Superman Returns, which is expected to be called The Man of Steel.

Here is one of those mystery kinds of press releases, in which we’re told about the online comics called THE SURREAL ADVENTURES OF EDGAR ALLAN POO joining online webcomics collective The Chemistry Set. The opening paragraphs give a good idea of the story:

The Chemistry Set is pleased to announce that the webcomic The Surreal Adventures of Edgar Allan Poo will be joining its line-up in September. Created by writer Dwight L. MacPherson and illustrated by Thomas Boatright, the series began at DrunkDuck.com and is now moving to The Chemistry Set.

Hailed by critics (”A brilliant fantasy epic on par with Mouse Guard.” - Broken Frontier) and creators (”I’ve seen enough to convince me to buy it.” - Kurt Busiek), the first collected volume will be released from Image’s Shadowline imprint on the 22th of August and make its webcomic debut on The Chemistry Set on the 17th of September.

And then continues on with some laudatory comments which you can read in the jump. However no where is it explained what this comic is about, or more specifically…WHY IS EDGAR ALLAN POE BEEN TURNED INTO A TURD? A little sleuthing revealed a laudatory review at Broken Frontier where we learn the truth:

…the historical E.A. Poe, taking care of business in an outhouse latrine, ejects a Mini-Me version of himself, a miniature little tin-type that falls down the toilet hole and into a world that’s one part surrealism a la Alice in Wonderland, two parts high fantasy anthropomorphism a la Redwall, and three parts dark epic danger in the vein of Lord of the Rings. Perhaps Little Nemo in Slumberland is the closest, stand-alone comparison to be made, although even then — in case my flailing from classic to classic in desperate attempt to explain this magnificent bastard of a graphic novel hasn’t already clued you in — the work in question is plainly unique, and stands on its own, a story well worth the read no matter how overexposed to past fantasy standards one may or may not be.

The art does look pretty and the hero does not look fecal in nature, but still…why a poo?

True to their word, the Dabel Brothers bounced right back with the announcement of a deal to adapt Dean Koontz’s FRANKENSTEIN BOOK 1: PRODIGAL SON to comics form. The PR doesn’t mention a publisher, so it’s presumably through the Dabels themselves. You can read all the details in the jump, but we’d also like to reference last week’s Newsarama with Les Dabel:

Les Dabel: You know, I’m sure a lot of people are wondering what’s going on here, and judging from the responses I’ve seen so far, many people assume something bad happened, despite the fact that the press release Marvel put out summed the situation up nicely. The licenses that we have started already with Marvel are the ones that will continue with Marvel, but those are only a few of our projects.

We can’t go into the details about the deal structure, but we are leaving the partnership with Marvel extremely happy and on good terms. We’ve got many good things on the way, and we view this as a positive step.

A poster speculates Well, for Dabel to be happy with the breakup, they must have received something of great value.
