African-American Cartoonists Plan "Action"
I'm a fan of Darrin Bell and his "Candorville" comic strip. Any cartoon character who uses a Mac and wears a Star Trek logo t-shirt, like Lemont, is okay with me. I've exchanged emails with Bell and own the original art for this strip.
An article in Editor and Publisher says that Bell and some other African-American cartoonists will, on February 10, 2008, all publish the same comic, but with their own characters. According to E&P, "The idea is to satirically protest the erroneous notion of many editors and readers that comics by African-American creators are interchangeable."
Mark your calendars. It should be fun, and I hope the cartoonists get more attention.
