No Guest |
A cross-over special with Off the Hook postponed from the week before. The guests scheduled for last week couldn't make it this week so we just chatted about the internet and comics and raised funds. Most of the funds raised came in the beginning of the show and were not credited to 'Nuff Said!, perhaps leading to the events of June 4. |

| 05/28/02 | Seth Tobocman joined us for what became our last interview. Eric has drawn covers for the New Yorker, been a regular contributor to World War 3 Illustrated and won the New York Book Award for his graphic novel Flood. |

Last Regular Show |
When I found out the day before that this would be
our last show, I knew I had to take listener phone calls. I did a short
monologue about the cancellation (the word hiatus started being used the
next day) then took calls. Every line stayed lit the entire time and I
took calls off air until almost a quarter to midnight. It was a moving
show and we can't thank you enough for your support. If 'Nuff Said! ever
comes back on the air as a regular show, you folks deserve
the credit. For more on what went through my mind after that show, click here. To read some of the letters of support, click here. |

Possibly the first black comic fan to turn pro, with Charlton in the 1960s. His work was in some of the classic underground comics of the late '60s and in Star-Studded Comics, a stripzine from the early days of comics fandom. His last work brought back Xal-Kor the Human Cat and he made some interesting observations about racism in America in some of those stories. This obituary appeared on the Tuesday afternoon Arts Magazine. |

Steve Whitaker |
'Nuff Said! started on Jim Freund's long-running program, "Hour of the Wolf," when Ed Menje and I (Ken Gale) guest-hosted back in 1993. Here, Mercy and I guest-hosted, interviewing the author of "The Encyclopedia of Cartooning Techniques," a comprehensive, excellent how-to book. Steve is also a comics scholar, colorist and penciller. He's worked for DC, Marvel and several independent companies and won the Eagle Award in 1989. We also took phone calls, trying to be like "old times." |

I sat in for Susan Brown's show, "Punk and Hardcore" (which 'Nuff Said! used to alternate with), while she's away. In this recently taped interview from a Big Apple Con, we talked about what Denny's been doing since he retired as editor of the Batman books and also discussed the nature of art and its role in society. Denny is always an interesting person to converse with. The interview was interspersed with music throughout the show. |

Charles Brownstein |
Recently, a Dallas, Texas comic book store sold an
adult comic book to an adult... and was busted for it! The case got to
court and the comic shop manager lost! He was sentenced to six
months in jail plus a year's probation plus a $4000.00 fine. For more on
this story, click here. During the trial, the prosecutors stated that
"Comic books, traditionally what we think of, are for kids." As if! The
case lost on appeal, too. Seems to me that no law was broken, but plenty
of prejudice was displayed by the Texas court. The CBLDF was involved in the whole case. I spoke with the director of the CBLDF about that case and some of their victories, too, as well as putting censorship into an historical context, including the context of the U.S. after 9-11-01. |

Trina Robbins |
One of the many clichés about comics is that they
are only for boys and young men and always have been. Not true of course,
but the ratio of male to female is still not what many of us would like.
For that reason, Friends of Lulu was formed, to educate about and promote
comics by and for women
and girls. Trina is probably the first woman to write and draw underground comics and is the author of The Great Women Cartoonists, a book that gives us a history of women in comics going back to the late 19th century. This was Mercy's return to WBAI after 'Nuff Said! was taken off the air. She has written for Harvey Comics, inked for DC & Malibu Comics, done production work with Defiant Comics and was a co-publisher, creative director, penciller, inker and colorist for Evolution Comics. From Friends of Lulu, we present Village Voice writer Carol Cooper, who has also been a guest on several other WBAI shows. |

Alex Simmons |
Sequential art has been used to teach science,
reading, literature, religion, politics, art and every other subject.
Comic books have been used to raise reading scores, teach languages and
help soldiers maintain equipment. The CIA used comics to train the Contras
during the "war" with Nicaragua in the '80s. Yet bringing comics into the
classroom remains
controversial. This episode of Basir MChawi's regular Thursday evening show, "Education at the Crossroads," featured yours truly, former math textbook writer Ken Gale, and two people who currently use comics in the classroom. Alex is also the writer of Blackjack; Dan is with the New York City Comic Book Museum. |

Fanzines |
Shawn Rhodes did a special on music fanzines and I supplied a 30-45 minute segment on fanzine history from Julie Schwartz and Mort Weisinger's science fiction fanzine in the early 1930s to the comic book fanzines of the '60s and '70s to apas to internet chat rooms and e-lists. |

For Out FM, I did a segment on gay comic book and comic strip characters with Pedro Serrano, covering what's going on in current mainstream comics, but also talking about gay characters over the years. Chris Companik, writer / artist of HIV + Me and 881 Midtown Court joined us. He had the freshly released list of the 2002 GLAAD Award nominees. |

Seth Tobocman |
Seth, artist, editor and co-founder of World War 3 Illustrated and Fly, a regular writer / artist for WW3I, discuss the role of graphic arts, particularly comic books, in social and political struggle. WW3I is a great example of treating sequential art as fine art. |
