Sasha Abramsky and I will appear together on WBAI’s program “Equal Time for Free Thought” on August 3. We’ll be discussing the US prison system and the roots of our peculiarly punitive culture. The interview will be archived at http://www.equaltimeforfreethought.org/2008/08/.
Meanwhile, Radovan Karadzic was arrested for war crimes last week. (Read the BBC’s profile of Karadzic at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/876084.stm.) In 2007, I’d interviewed comics journalist Joe Sacco about his meeting with Karadzic — and mindbuck.com just re-posted the interview.
Otherwise, I’ve mostly been reviewing comics while I work on more involved research projects.
I reviewed Garfield Minus Garfield for Mindbuck.com. Check out the comic at http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/
I also wrote a review of Mike Carey’s God Save the Queen for the July issue of The Comics Journal. It’s not online, though.
