Monday Runaround – The Dark Bunny Returns
BunWatch: Ty Templeton looks at the… "Frank Miller situation".
PressWatch: World media pick up on Bleeding Cool story from over a month ago.
ChequeWatch: Jeff Trexer looks at DC's relationship with the estates of Siegel and Schuster in the light of the Action Comics #1 relaunch.
"But more generally, DC's evident lack of payment for the Siegel material in the new Action #1 is what it is—a reflection of DC's belief that it owes the Siegels nothing or far less than 50%. Morrison's incorporation of the disputed original material in his new Action—and DC's failure to pay for it—is consistent with the two-part DC strategy that we have discussed since the court awarded the Siegel heirs half the Superman copyright back in 2008."
MADWatch: When the staff and creators of MAD Magazine went to visit US troops in foreign fields…
"Viviano traveled with nine other cartoonists in October to entertain soldiers in Germany, Kuwait and Southeast Asia by drawing caricatures and cartoons. Sometimes, if the solider requested it, the caricatures would be based on a husband, wife, or son or daughter, drawn from a photograph or cell phone.
""We'd spend maybe 10 minutes with them, drawing as we talked to them," Viviano said. "And while the cartoons themselves were appreciated, I think maybe it was more important to just have the opportunity to meet each other and converse for a few minutes. We felt that, in some ways, we had a luckier opportunity than another entertainer would who is just signing autographs.""

They say I am a work in progress. The fools.
Magazine's 1st MAD men get a rare reunion – Yahoo! News
They're among the cartoonists who put MAD on the map in the 1950s. Over the next six decades, they blended celebrity caricature, pop-culture parody and political satire in a way that would influence American comedy from Saturday Night Live to The Onion and more. And some of them are still churning out gags for MAD, in defiance of the ever-expanding generation gap with the magazine's young audience.
SyFy Developing Show Based On 'Ghost Projekt'
Of the three, "Ghost Projekt" would probably interest Splash Page readers the most because it's based on a comic book series. Released in 2010, the Oni Press-published series stars Will Haley, an American weapons inspector, and Anya Romanova, a KGB agent, as they track down a very dangerous stolen weapon. They're often described as being an "unlikely" team, but of course those teams are the most fun in fiction. Coming to us from Joe Harris and Steve Rolston, the comic has released five issues.
The remarkable Trina Robbins talks about women making comics, and the audience she had of young, gay boys for her "girl's comics" featuring paper doll designs. Having Trina come to class was fantastic; this woman has inspired generations of creators, and helped open up the world of comics for both women and queers. All hail Trina! She was interviewed by CCA painting major Robyn Dalbey.
FROM HIS DRAWING BOARD, Nate Beeler can survey it all. The block-lettered signs and dirt-caked tents, the makeshift meals and ever-present drums. The political cartoonist sits perched in the K Street NW newsroom of the Washington Examiner, on the block neatly overlooking the Occupy D.C. encampment. As the protestors go through their rhythms established from six weeks of autumn squatting, Beeler — amused — can't help but smirk.
