The Four Color Media Monitor

The Daily Cartoonist reported that it looks like previous news Art Spiegelman was going to work on a GN with Joe Sacco about the October 7, 2023 tragedy was taken out of context:

In an email to Bleeding Cool, Art wrote:

Yeesh! That rumor is based on my response to an audience member at a Q&A after the first screening of the Disaster is My Muse doc in November. When asked about what I was working on now, I explained that I was, at that moment, in the middle of a 3-page comix collaboration with Joe Sacco distilled from a few long phone conversations we had about Gaza. I dunno the exact definition of a graphic novel, but I think they’re usually way longer than three pages. I naively didn’t realize my comments would be reported on or inflated into describing an epic-length work that I wouldn’t be able to finish before the Messiah comes. As it is, those three pages we made took months and will now be submitted by our agents looking for a suitable venue. All the best, a.s.

Well if they're not working on a project together, that's a sigh of relief, knowing what Sacco's like. Naturally, if Spiegelman sees nothing wrong with the bad influence Sacco happens to be, it's still quite appalling to know the former's chummy with the latter regardless. And it won't be surprising if even just 3 pages coming from them can still be quite concerning.

As I may have noted earlier, there have been some projects by cartoonists overseas dealing with the subject, some of which are hopefully far more thoughtful than anything Spiegelman and Sacco could ever be expected to turn out. But of course, who in the leftist USA press cares about those? Alas, almost none do.
