Animal Protection Voters-‐Political Action Committee Issues 2016
Animal Protection Voters-Political Action Committee Issues 2016 Primary and Early General Election Endorsements for New Mexico Legislature Voters are urged to support the candidates who will do the best job of standing up for the protection of animals in their districts. Santa Fe, N.M. – Animal Protection Voters (APV), the leading political and legislative advocacy organization for animal protection in New Mexico, works via APV-PAC, its political action committee, to support humane candidates for elected office. APV-PAC announced today its endorsement of 19 candidates facing contested races in the primary election on June 7, and early endorsement of 56 candidates seeking election or re-election in the general election on November 8. Incumbents won endorsements for consistently showing animal advocacy and leadership through votes and other actions in the state legislature. New challengers and candidates received endorsements based on their past activity involving animal issues, as well as their responses to a questionnaire on topics including wildlife protection, anti-whistleblower legislation, horse slaughter and funding for animal-related programs. APV-PAC endorsement decisions emphasized two APV priority bills expected to be reintroduced in the 2017 legislative session: a ban on coyote killing contests, and a ban on traps and poisons on public lands. A growing majority of New Mexicans oppose traps and killing contests as unethical and ineffective wildlife management and a danger to public safety. “Most New Mexicans support stronger animal protection laws, and we are delighted to endorse a diverse, bipartisan slate of candidates who will represent the humane vision and values of their constituents,” said Jessica Johnson, Chief Legislative Officer for APV. -

Writing About Comics
NACAE National Association of Comics Art Educators English 100-v: Writing about Comics From the wild assertions of Unbreakable and the sudden popularity of films adapted from comics (not just Spider-Man or Daredevil, but Ghost World and From Hell), to the abrupt appearance of Dan Clowes and Art Spiegelman all over The New Yorker, interesting claims are now being made about the value of comics and comic books. Are they the visible articulation of some unconscious knowledge or desire -- No, probably not. Are they the new literature of the twenty-first century -- Possibly, possibly... This course offers a reading survey of the best comics of the past twenty years (sometimes called “graphic novels”), and supplies the skills for reading comics critically in terms not only of what they say (which is easy) but of how they say it (which takes some thinking). More importantly than the fact that comics will be touching off all of our conversations, however, this is a course in writing critically: in building an argument, in gathering and organizing literary evidence, and in capturing and retaining the reader's interest (and your own). Don't assume this will be easy, just because we're reading comics. We'll be working hard this semester, doing a lot of reading and plenty of writing. The good news is that it should all be interesting. The texts are all really good books, though you may find you don't like them all equally well. The essays, too, will be guided by your own interest in the texts, and by the end of the course you'll be exploring the unmapped territory of literary comics on your own, following your own nose. -

Comic Art, Children's Literature, and the New Comics Studies
360 Charles Hatfield Comic Art, Children’s Literature, and the New Comics Studies Charles Hatfield At Comic-Con International’s annual Eisner Awards ceremony in San Diego during July 2004, Pulitzer-winning author (and new-fledged comics creator) Michael Chabon gave a keynote speech about comic books and children. Speaking to the comic book community, Chabon declared victory in the struggle to elevate the comics medium and its reputation among adult readers, noting, “More adults are reading better comics than ever before” (“Greasy”). However, Chabon’s real subject, which he decried, was the medium’s abandonment of children; this action is fueled, he argued, by an arriviste’s sense of embarrassment over its origins. Chiding the industry for forgetting young readers, Chabon ended by envisioning a new sort of comics for children, “truly thrilling, honestly observed and remembered, richly imagined . [comics] about children” [Chabon’s italics] (“Greasy”). He issued a call to arms, urging the comic book industry to pass on the love of the medium and, as the adage goes, pay it forward. Despite its admonitory tone, Chabon’s speech earned a warm ovation, perhaps because his remarks distilled years’ worth of comic-book industry punditry. In fact, the gap between comic books and today’s children has long been a source of concern among professionals—certainly within the transatlantic, English-language comics business. Many creators, within and outside of the comic book-specialty market, have sought to bridge this gap: witness the sporadic touting of “all-ages,” which is the preferred euphe- mism for children’s, comics within comic book shops, or the presence in mainstream bookstores of such high-profile projects as Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly’s Little Lit series (launched in 2000 for HarperCollins). -

Tatum’s steamy perfor- mance to Ginuwine’s hook-up paean “Pony” was a zeitgeist trigger in and of itself. Then Jenna Dewan-Tatum gave her husband a lap dance to the song during a reality series lip-sync battle. Cue the comeback.
