Well, with all the preparation for going to Guatemala and writing stories and learning to use my new, beautiful digital camera, I have two NWs to recap for your reading displeasure.
In the meantime, I found this, which was my first encounter with queasy feelings when noticing the blurring between editorial and advertisement. Seriously. When I first started reading comics as a little kid, I would read these and wonder, "why are the pros doing this crap? Clearly they are bringing their A-game to the actual story, and who is concocting these ridiculous plots for ads?" It really really bugged me that actual comic artists would be forced to draw characters I loved in tawdry save-the-world-with-fruit-pies ads.
Besides, Tastykake is about a million times better than stupid Hostess. It bothered me that an inferior product was getting to use Spiderman and Thor to pimp themselves.
