Here's the cover to the 2004 political parody comic by Pulitzer finalist @pkuper.bsky.social mentioned in yesterday's post, along with an explanation of the case. Both are from the 2011 CBLDF @cryptozoic.bsky.social Liberty Trading Cards set!

Congratulations to Peter Kuper on being a Pulitzer finalist for Illustrated Reporting and Commentary!!! Longtime supporters might recall that in 2004, comics by @pkuper.bsky.social w/ political satire were seized by Customs; CBLDF helped get the books released.

Thrilled to learn I was nominated for my wordless political cartoons. Many are from my recent @fantagraphics.bsky.social book. Congrats to my pal Ivan Ehlers and the other nominees. ‪

A legal look at the book ban bill, HR 7661, is on the CBLDF's website. I'll post key points here this week – in the meantime, check out the full story for the bill's true aim, its constitutional flaws, the odds of passage, and why we should not be afraid. cbldf.org/2026/03/a-le...

HB 7661 is indeed on our radar – I (Jeff Trexler) have been working with other First Amendment advocates on strategic response practically since this bill hit the House calendar. Our ultimate goal: making sure this bill stays as dead as it seems. My take here: cbldf.org/2026/03/a-le...

A real school board official's objection to manga to justify removal: it teaches students to read in the wrong direction.

Here's why I've been warning that increased sales from book bans is not the whole story: while that's true for some GNs, the overall potential negative impact on school/library purchases, distributor marketing, and publisher acquisitions from new creators is substantial. thehill.com/homenews/lgb...
