There’s an article in the May 9th issue of j – the Jewish news weekly of Northern California – “Comic expressions”, reproduced online at http://www.jewishsf.com/content/2-0-/module/displaystory/story_id/35208/format/html/displaystory.html, which gives the background of Miriam Libicki (author-illustrator of the comic book series jobnik!) and Ariel Schrag (editor of the anthology Stuck in the Middle, which contains one of her stories, “Shit”). Schrag and Libicki will be speaking tomorrow night at Intersection for the Arts as part of the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco’s “Serial Boxes” series, an exploration of the graphic novel.

Grammy Winner James Ehnes in Candid Interview on Art & Fine Living with Jona by jona rapoport on March 11th, 2008 Canadian violinist James Ehnes was the honoured guest on radio show Art & Fine Living with Jona, produced and hosted by Jona Rapoport on Radio Shalom, a mere 24 hours after receiving the coveted Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance with Orchestra.
Comix 101 Forbidden Images and The Art of Outrage A Lecture by Pulitzer Prize Winning Author, Art Spiegelman
Thursday, April 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the Isabel Bader Theatre 93 Charles St. Toronto, Ontario
Students and Seniors: $25 Regular Admission: $40
As arguably the most influential comic illustrator of our time, Art Spiegelman (author-illustartor of the Holocaust memoir Maus) has changed the literary landscape and has carved out an important place for the graphic novel as a tool to weave complex narratives.
Through his writing, Spiegelman makes lessons of the Holocaust, issues of political engagement, and freedom of speech accessible and meaningful to a generation of young people. His approach to history and politics as seen through the unique lens of the graphic novel, has an uncanny ability to uncover the many-layered nature of conflict and identity.
Spiegelman believes that “open discourse ultimately serves understanding” (Spiegelman, June 2006) and that the principles of freedom of speech and the open exchange of ideas are the cornerstone of a free society. Spiegelman will present his view that silencing alternative voices/images is not an acceptable form of political engagement.
Please join us for an amazing evening that is not to be missed. You can purchase tickets now at www.uofttix.ca, or by phone at 416-913-2424. If you can’t attend please consider donating a ticket to a student by calling the number listed above.

A Brief Talk on the Bronze Once More by lisophie989 on January 4th, 2012 The development of Chinese bronze primarily went through Xia, Shang and Zhou the three historical periods, in the heyday at Shang and Zhou dynasties.
Tomorrow, (Wed., April 9th at 1:00 PM EST), Bob Andelman’s guest will be Arie Kaplan, author of the “King of Comics” series which appeared in Reform Judaism magazine, author of the “Dave Danger” comics (which also appeared in Reform Judaism magazine), author of “What if Chris Rock Performed at a Bar Mitzvah?” (Mad Magazine #419) and author of the book From Krakow to Krypton : The History of Jews in Comics, forthcoming from the Jewish Publication Society.
You may read the Introduction to the latter book at the Yavnet website.
If Arie were the blogmaster here, he’d also want to add that he’s the writer of the Speed Racer : Chronicles of the Racer miniseries, issue 4 of which should be available soon. However, Arie isn’t the blogmaster here. I am. Let him get his own darned blog. They’re free, ya know.
If your boss won’t let you take a break to listen to the show live at 1 (and what sort of meanie he must be, eh?), don’t fret too much. Bob has kindly taken it upon himself to make past shows available in 2 ways :
(1) He records the podcast and allows people to listen to the recorded shows on his website ;
(2) He transcribes most of the show for those who’d prefer to skim the best parts rather than listen through the whole thing. I suppose it’s also helpful for the hearing impaired.
Having visited Bob’s website earlier today, I discovered that Mr. Media has recorded several other interviews which are of interest to those who like to listen to interviews &/or read interviews related to the topic of Jews and comics.
I’ll provide a listing of a bunch of these below (with their hyperlinks). Perhaps, in the future, Bob could give me a heads-up in advance so that I can give this blog’s readers advance notice about such interviews. After all, not all interviewees are as adept at shameless self-promotion as Arie is.
Danny Fingeroth, author of Disguised as Clark Kent : Jews, Comics and the Creation of the Superhero
Peter Kuper, author-illustrator of the short biographical story “Promised Land”(Bleeding Heart #2), as well as the book-length autobiographical Stop Forgetting to Remember : The Autobiography of Walter Kurtz.
Trina Robbins, author of “The Triangle Fire” (Lilith #2) and “Zog Nit Keyn Mol : The Partisan’s Song” (Wimmen’s Comix #10)

Setting up A Hair and facial salon by Gavineros1102 on January 27th, 2012 It is no wonder that hair and salon business remains among the rapidly growing industries today.
More about NYCC (Jewish guests & panels) in a separate post that will be finished tomorrow night, G-d willing.
So, now you may be wondering about the references to Terry (& Patty) LaBan and to their cartoon strip, Edge City.
Every year, the LaBans celebrate the holiday by both celebrating it in their home and by collectively sharing it with their readers by giveing us 2 weeks of Passover cartoons. Since his comic strip is available via the Internet, you needn’t miss out just because your local newspaper editor used poor judgement in not adding Edge City to their comics page.
If you missed last year’s Passover cartoons, fret not. I’m providing the links for them below :
As of this writing, only the first Passover cartoon of 2008 has been published at the Chronicle website, but there should be one every day for the next 2 weeks. Therefore, in 2 weeks’ time, all of the following links should be valid and should each show a Passover cartoon (although sometimes the Sunday one is not a Holiday cartoon) :

… and 1 reason not to. It’s amazing (& astonishing & shocking — and all those other cool adjectives they threw onto the covers on Silver Age comics to try to get our attention) to me that there are more “Jewish” reasons to attend NYCC this year than there were last year.
(1) Session discussing Jews and superheroes in general and in particular the book Disguised as Clark Kent : Jews, Comics and the Creation of the Superhero, written by

(4) A confidential source has it on good authority to believe that legendary Batman series artist Jerry Robinson (who also did illustrations for Bible Tales for Young Folk) will be in attedance.
(5) Session discussing the book Our Gods Wear Spandex : The Secret History of Comic Book Heroes – a book whose sections include People of the Book (chapter 4) ; Harry Houdini (chapter ; Founding Fathers: Harry Donenfeld and Martin Goodman (chapter 12) ; Chapter 16. The Golems ; Jack Kirby (chapter 20) ; Neil Gaiman (chapter 20)

(15) Dick Ayers (illustrator of “Lonely Are the Brave” in Combat Kelly and the Deadly Dozen #2, in which the titular heroes liberate a concentration camp)

The story appeared in Smut Peddler #2). In all fairness, Dan’s done other – & better-known – stories (e.g. Shooting War) but “Schmear” is the only “Jewish” work of his that I’ve seen.

I have to admit that I haven’t had the time yet to sit and read through the first Hereville story, “How Mirka Got Her Sword”. However, I have looked at several pages and have been impressed with what I’ve seen : a strong-willed Orthodox Jewish girl as the main character, a Sabbath evening scene, a Havdallah scene (Havdallah is the ritual done at the end of the Jewish Sabbath), the intricate knitting scenes using double-page spreads. If nothing else, there is a sense of originality in its concept – when’s the last time anyone’s seen a comic story involving a troll-hunting Jewish girl? I think Hereville has the first.
When I posted to my Jewish comics forum (at Yahoo) about the webcomic (message #698), it was hosted at Girlamatic. Now, cartoonist Barry Deutch has gotten Hereville its own domain name to display his sample pages at : www.hereville.com.
For those who prefer reading their comics on dead trees, there’s great news. Hereveille : How Mirka Got Her Sword will be published as a trade paperback next month!
Although I haven’t read much of the story, at least 6 others have — and those 6 have written reviews or made comments.
What do you get when you cross “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and Isaac Bashevis Singer?
You get cartoonist Barry Deutsch’s latest project, an online comic book called Hereville, about “the magical adventures of a 12-year-old Hasidic girl fighting monsters.”
…
Deutsch has taken numerous college-level art classes, including a few at the School of Visual Arts in New York, where he studied with Will Eisner, “one of the greatest cartoonists of all time.”
The Webcomics Examiner Advisory Board (upon Hereville being chosen as one of the Best Webcomics of 2004)
The story is leisurely and steeped in cultural tradition; even troll killing must wait until after Shabbot rituals. Smart, yet heartwarming, quiet, yet with a genuine sense of adventure.
exceptionally beautiful visuals. The drawings are detailed and seem like a lot of work has gone into getting things right. It’s the confident work of a professional artist. The division of panels is deliciously non-traditional.
…
The dialogue caught my interest right away. We’re thrown right in the middle of a philosophical debate in the first few panels. Do we have free will or does God just make our lives difficult? In another early strip, we’re invited to ponder on the ethics of eating animals vs. slaying dragons.
an interesting comic with a unique cultural identity. It’s worth a look for fans of fantasy or for anyone who feels there is no new territory to explore in the genre.
It’s glorious, deep, clever, and intelligent; finally, a take on the hero’s tale which doesn’t look like it was cribbed straight outta G.I. Joseph Campbell. Mirka won me over from the start.
If you’ll be in the Portland area on April 26th or 27th, you can drop by the Stumptown Comics Fest, where Barry Deutsch himself will be on hand at an exhibitor booth to talk to you and sign your copies of Hereville. Don’t have a copy? No problem! You can buy them at his booth.

It looks like there are only 2 rooms being used simultaneously, which means an attendee will only miss half of the total sessions. The percentage is a lot lower at other conferences where there are several concurrent sessions.
Of possible interest to readers of this blog are 2 presentations that are part of Panel 3B (Endings 2) on Sunday, May 11th in Room UC 179 (2 – 3:15 PM)
Anthony Enns – “Media, Memory, and the Metropolis in Jason Lutes’ Berlin: City of Stones”
Amir Hussain – “Representing Muslim Lives: Pedagogy and the Comics Journalism of Joe Sacco”
