A guest book review by our friend Linda Simensky, PBS’s senior director of children’s programming: North Korea has been in the news lately. So where do this country and animation intersect? You probably didn’t know there is (or at least was) at least one animation studio there. For an interesting look at North Korea through the eyes of an animator who worked there, check out the graphic novel, Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea Delisle, a French Canadian cartoonist, was sent by a French animation studio to be an overseas supervisor at Scientific and Educational Film Studio of Korea (SEK) in Pyongyang. In this graphic novel, he writes about his experiences there, both in animation and in his attempts to see North Korea outside the studio. He has written graphic novels about being an overseas supervisor in Shenzhen and about his time in Burma while his wife was stationed there for Doctors Without Borders. Delisle’s a great artist, and his experiences as an overseas supervisor will seem familiar to many of you. But his insider’s take on Pyongyang is fascinating, and well worth reading in light of current events. The book is available for $10.17 on Amazon. 7 Comments » posted in Comics, Guy Delisle, Pyongyang

Each week, just for fun, we post several syndicated comic strips that make reference to animated cartoon characters. We are not claiming these to be the greatest comics of the week, or even particularly well-drawn or funny. It’s simply a reflection of how animation is perceived in a related media, and our record of it. Personally, for historical purposes, I find these fascinating. You may comment on these below if you wish, but this weekly post will, from now on, be heavily moderated for thoughtful opinions (if these strips warrant any).
This week The Argyle Sweater (11/9) by Scott Hilburn; and Brevity (11/11) by Guy and Rod. (Thanks to Jim Lahue and Ed Austin) 22 Comments » posted in Comics, Sunday Funnies
