Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.

Wisconsin library holds an anime club
An article in the Baraboo News Republic about the city's public library holding an anime and manga club; another suggestion that clubs for regular comics in the US are way outnumbered.
Nice article, and it's sad too, but like I've read in your blog older tamer American comics are read in libraries.
The problem is well content and appeal the thing is Manga unlike American comics has a lot more verity in them everything from fantasy to slice of life. To all ages Plus they have a larger female following unlike American comics. (I could go on a rant on why)The stories are positive rather than negative such as Rouroni Kenshin, but it also has it's share of crap such as Ghost in the Shell which is the guy's obcession with lesbinsim. But still it's sad
These days many kids and grownups even, are taking keen interest in cartoon drawing. There are various reasons behind this trend first and foremost is obviously proliferation of cartoon channels. "how to draw cartoons"
