ICYII:
My twittertake on ESPN suspending sportswriter Keith Law for telling ex-pitcher Curt Schilling and other twitter users that he believes in Darwinian evolution.
1. So former MLB pitcher and current @espn employee Curt Schilling @gehrig38 issued a challenge on Twitter about proof for evolution.

2. Sportswriter and @espn employee @keithlaw responded with links to articles, and then engaged in twitter-debate with Schilling and others

3. The tone @keithlaw used was absolutely in keeping with the tone in which he engages on sports issues. Strident but with humor.

4. @espn suspended @keithlaw for this exchange. http://t.co/ISfO0j9BcQ They say the suspension has nothing to do with his opinions.

5. No, it has to do with him EXPRESSING his opinions. He simply responded to Schilling's challenge about evolution evidence.

6. Yet no @espn suspension for Schilling, who went on far more of a rant in his anti-evolution tirade, eg. calling a twitter user a "clown"

7. While @keithlaw has been suspended, Curt Schilling @gehrig38 has used his twitter time supporting the Ferguson police…

8. … and, today, describing how a bomb squad was called in to an airport because his son had a "fake grenade" in his backpack. @gehrig38

Schilling @gehrig38 & @espn explain to @keithlaw why he shouldn't express a pro-evolution opinion; @disney looks on. pic.twitter.com/6zqrhRXy4I

The former (?) cartoonist and current essayist Tim Kreider included a reference to one of my comics in his latest for the New York Times.
(How can he not illustrate his own essays??!!??)

I recently did a panel with the British cartoonist Stephen Collins, and he was just dealing with people confusing him with the American actor Stephen Collins whose shocking pedophelia scandal had just broken a couple of days earlier. I hope that's going better for him now.
Anyway, in doing the panel and meeting him, I discovered his great comics and really cool new graphic novel. Recommonday'd.
I'm not sure about the U.S. availability of this book, compiling his comic strips he's done for The Guardian and other venues.. Very funny stuff. I don't think you can buy it here.
His brand new graphic novel is excellent and certainly available; you can buy it here.
