Over in the San Diego blogs links, you may notice something new. I just discovered BlogofSanDiego.com thanks to an indirect reference in a Union-Tribune story citing “Pat Flannery, a San Diegan who writes about City Hall politics on a blog…”

This site is packed with info. Charts, graphs, photos, documents. This guy is extremely thorough. As the site boasts, it’s “Unfiltered News based on Source Documents,” and he’s got a lot of them.

In his latest blog, Daryl Cagle mentions several Comic Con events regarding editorial cartooning, including what looks to be a pretty decent panel line-up (I’m excited about Mr. Fish):

[Cagle will] be moderating a panel about editorial cartoons on Saturday, July 28th, from 11:30am-12:30pm in Room 4…So far, the panel includes: Steve Breen, the Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist for the San Diego Union-Tribune; Mr. Fish, the altie cartoonist for the LA Weekly and Village Voice; Patrick O’Connor, the editorial cartoonist for the Los Angeles Daily News; Monte Wolverton, the brilliant editorial cartoonist and Mad Magazine artist, Brian Fairrington, a great cartoonist and my co-editor on the Best Political Cartoons of the Year books; and Lalo Alcaraz, also an editorial cartoonist for the LA Weekly and creator of the political comic strip, La Cucaracha, which runs in the LA Times. Breen, O’Connor and Fairrington are past winners of the Locher Award as “Best College Editorial Cartoonist of the Year.”
