On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

Apparently, there's a bit of a kerfuffle: no award given for the Op-Ed cartooning category at the Pulitzers this year. And not for lack of award-worthy talent either.

I'm looking at op-ed cartoonist Michael de Adder's latest illustration for the Friends of Canadian Broadcasting: Facebook as a Borg "cube" ship, Australia as the TMP version of the Enterprise...and I am starting to wonder if IDW - the current comics license-holders - and CBS Studios ought to get in touch with Mr. de Adder about...whatever he might have a mind to do.

To make it plain:

Hire this guy, people.

I'm not sure that I can see what the fuss is about.

Wondering if it printed in last Saturday's Toronto Star hardcopy edition intact. (The Star prints Sunday strips on Saturdays as a rule.)

Follow-up: I just checked. Confirmed. It got through Toronto Star editorial scrutiny.

Comment to this post and I will pick five things I would like you to talk about. They might make sense or be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.

The list I was given by ms_danson is as follows:

...i happened to take a break or two along the way, and thanks to the Newsarama Blog, I found a link to this little item: an interview with Charles Schulz.

Perhaps, not so incidentally, I found something at Perfect Books whilst shopping for this and that downtown over the course of that weekend that Mr. Schulz almost certainly must've had in his personal library: a book by one of his professional role-models, Bill Mauldin, entitled Up Front. Regrettably, I was either fool enough or broke enough to not immediately buy that book, but it seems to me like something anyone who enjoys Mr. Schulz' work ought to be adding to their own collection.
