PoliticsWatch: Bahrain: Lines in Ink, Lines in the Sand by Josh Neufeld debuts today on Cartoon Movement. The Washington Post reports;

NEUFELD'S SCRIPT didn't really come together, he tells Comic Riffs, until he "realized that Sarah was against the demonstrations and pro-government."

"That just stunned me," he says.

"I was having conversations with her over e-mail and I even challenged her a couple of times," Neufeld says, noting that he cited an official quote about human rights abuses. "We've seen footage of the brutal crackdowns [that] she was denying, saying, 'That's not true — that's propaganda spread by Iran.' "

This is Computo the Comic Link Conqueror speaking. I come for your women. But for now I merely collate comic-related bits and pieces online. One day I will rule. Until that day, read on.

They say I am a work in progress. The fools.

So, you are going to "cheapen" the paper quality of FF#601 cover. Are you lowering the price to reflect the lower quality format.

We're also going to be bettering the paper stock on the interior, so it's kind of a zero sum game. This is the same format that most Image titles use, and nobody has complained or even noticed. But, as always, when it comes out, if you don't like it, you're under no obligation to purchase it.

Skyrim As A 1980s Cartoon | Kotaku Australia

I love that they get Skyrim on an old-school 5.75-inch floppy and the obligatory "rockin' out" bit once they kids are in Tamriel. Partridge did that great Saturday Morning Watchmen video when the film adaptation of the classic Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons comics masterpiece hits theatres. The same dead-on humour shows up here, making it a must watch if you're losing your life to Bethesda's hit RPG. "Bad guys beware, because it's Dovahkid time!" Indeed.
