If this response to Frank Miller's comments on Occupy Wall Street four days ago (was that all it was?) is a little slower, then that's because Richard Pace had to draw it And as we know, this kind of thing takes time… If this response to Frank Miller's comments on Occupy Wall Street four days[...]

Reactions to Frank Miller's blog post on the Occupy movement continue to echo around the comics internet, an industry-centric slice of the larger discussion on the issues involved There's also a pretty interesting subtext here about the blurred distinctions between art, speech, and action which may be just as valuable as the central discussion.
