Hector used to submit toons to the Gargoyle Leader around the same time I did, and I think he stopped submitting for the same reasons I did, or something like that. I met him the other night for the first time. Hector, Chris Browne, John Daiker and I were out with Jeff Koterba who was in town for a book signing. Good times.
I really like Hector’s work, a fine draftsman.

I have written about Jeff before, this is a must attend. I have to work late that night, but hope to catch up to the group later. Please convince him to come down to Touch of Europe to jam.

This toon printed in the Argus Leader and took up about half of the 2nd page in the Voices section. At the time many readers were confused and thought this was the ‘original’ plaque. I still laugh about that.

One more reason why the Sioux Falls School District sucks dog-doo-doo

Like I have said on several occasions, I thank the Lorde Jezus I don’t have kids. One more reason;
A graphic novel about middle-school life has been taken off the shelves at Sioux Falls schools after a parent complained about cartoons containing foul language, sexual references and teen smoking.
Editor Ariel Schrag’s “Stuck in the Middle: Seventeen Comics from an Unpleasant Age” will be available only to teachers for checkout.
Here is the full Gargoyle story. This comment made me laugh;
She said the message a student draws from a cartoon might be a bad one.
Yes, those evil cartoonists and editorial satirists how dare they use humor to drive a point home. But Shrag fights back;
Schrag found that logic puzzling. The positive resolution to a cartoon is how the reader relates the story to his own experiences, she said. “Not all stories have a happy ending.”
Really? I thought everything was sunshine and butterflies in Sioux Falls?
“I think a prose book that would have similar content would go unnoticed,” Schrag said. “It’s a lot easier I think to sort of demonize graphic novels. It kind of comes down to laziness.”
And ignorance.
