Without knowing the specifics of this case, I think the Pittsburgh cops are overreacting. The cartoon specifically cites the three cops involved, not the entire police force.

Pre-order it from Jerry Craft’s website. And catch him at the AfAm Children’s Book Fair in Philadelphia next month.

I was at a comic book show in Brooklyn on Saturday and among the exhibitors was someone from the band TV on the Radio, a local band, and he had some comics he was peddling. I flipped through one – kinda light on story but with some intriguing imagery. Still, I wasn’t about to pay $6 for it, which is what he was charging. I’ll see if I can find out some more about this.

A Rochester, NY paper ran a Jump Start strip that depicted Joe, the police officer main character, getting shot – and now the strip is getting blamed for a police shooting the same week, which is absolutely insane. Start reading the strip from here and see if you agree.

On a lighter note – congratulations to cartoonist Masheka Wood, who’s expecting his first child with his wife and fellow cartoonist Mikhaela Reid.

Keef’s response

Why is it college students are getting pissed over Keef’s comics lately? This doesn’t say much for the future of the youth of America…

“A month and some rejection letters later, I got free lunch and a development offer from the WPWG. I can be easily bought with sandwiches.”

Cory Thomas

“…I had to come up with something that would fit the existing art and I had about ten minutes in which to do that. It still works. In fact, all I did was replace the offending last two panels with an earlier draft of the strip, so this is still something I wanted to say. I like it more than I did when I grabbed it from my notes in a mad rush to meet the deadline. You might even prefer it…”

That would be the National Newspaper Publishers Association. And this makes two in a row for him.
