Wednesday Runaround – From Jail To Vote Theft
JailWatch: Molly Crabapple on Occupy for CNN;
At one corner, I saw a cop grabbing the arm of a woman in front of me and pulling her into the street. It was the same gesture you might use to escort an old lady, and, when the next officer did this to me, that is what I thought it was. But then, halfway across the street, he cuffed my hands behind my back.
There was no warning. No Miranda rights like in the movies. At first, I was incredulous. It was not until I got my desk ticket that night for blocking traffic that I had any idea what the officer was accusing me of doing.
I was a head shorter than the officer. I said to him, "You know I was on the sidewalk." He wouldn't meet my eyes. I was two blocks from my apartment. But because I was part of a protest, I was no longer a local. I was an obstruction to be cleared.
Occupy Wall Street taught many middle-class white people what poor people and people of color had already known. The law is often a hostile and arbitrary thing. Speak too loudly, stand in the wrong place, and you're on the wrong side of it. My experience was infinitely easier than most. Many people arrested came out to a lost job, or they have to deal with nerve-damaged hands from being in cuffs for too long, or they face a society that believes they asked for it.

PlotWatch: Greg Rucka talks about writing;
It depends entirely on the work, and varies from story to story. Novels tend to plot more tightly, though I tend to go more afield. I'm trying to get the final push done on BRAVO-I right now, for instance, so I needed to go over everything I'd written already and make sure I was answering all the questions I was raising.
Most of the time, my plots are actually quite loose – I have an idea, a conflict, and a vision for the ending of the story, and I try to string my sequences along to reach that ending. But I always try to – at the risk of sounding precious – "listen" to the story I'm telling, and thus be willing to alter course if the need arises. Which, incidentally, happened today.
ConWatch: JMS on not going to Australia;
As you've doubtless heard by now, we have one of those good news/bad news situations. As you know, any convention appearance is contingent upon work availability. When we made that arrangement with the convention earlier, we looked down the road and October looked clear enough to make this work. Since then, we launched Studio JMS and the good news is that we're hip-deep in work on productions and publishing and many things in-between. The bad news is that we're so hip-deep in work that peeling away for two weeks in October has become pretty much impossible given all that we need to get done. We spent the last few days in the office creating flow-charts to try and figure out how we could spread the work and manage the output to be able to attend the conventions, but we finally, reluctantly, had to face the reality that the math just didn't work.
So with profound regrets, we've had to withdraw. We have talked to the convention organizers and offered to do skype calls to each of the two conventions to try and make this up a bit, and we're helping them look for replacement guests.
BowieWatch: Philip Bond draws David Bowie for Shelly Bond's birthday
VictoryWatch: Mike Oeming draws the second issue of The Victories. And the first as well of course. And the third too, probably. And there's the writing as well.
UniverseWatch: Kurt Busiek puts it all into continuity.
I kinda like the idea of Earth-B, too — Earth-Boltinoff, where all those Bob Haney stories that violated continuity left and right took place — and when I was still in high school, I postulated Earth-Twinkie, the Earth all the Hostess ads take place on. I've since argued that Earth-Twinkie is the Earth where all the intercompany crossovers where the characters are part of the same universe took place, that the SUPERMAN/SPIDER-MAN crossovers, or X-TITANS, all take place on the same world as Cousin Betsy the Plant Lady, the Ding-a-Ling Family and Cooky LaMoo did their things.
RallWatch: Ted Rall returns… inside the book of another.
The new book Billionaires and Ballot Bandits: How to Steal An Election in 9 Easy Steps, by Greg Palast, has a foreword by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., wit and humor, even a 48-page comic book by Ted Rall in the middle.
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.
