Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things
"In this UK Independent article, Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist and creator of Maus Art Spiegelman says he quit his job as an illustrator for The New Yorker because the magazine was sucking up to the government in order to retain access to Washington VIPs. Spiegelman also talks about his latest comic, "In the Shadow of No Towers," and how The New York Times wouldn't even reply to his offer to let the paper publish it. He ended up selling the strip to a German paper."
Sept. 11th isn't the first tough subject for Mr. Spiegelman. Maus is a book about the holocaust and how his parents got through it.
