Si contraddistingue per la sua dolcezza e per il suo essere socievole, pur peccando ogni tanto di vanità e di superficialità. Meg, in quanto primogenita, è il riferimento principale per le altre sorelle. La solidità di questo rapporto è il risultato di una combinazione perfetta tra personalità completamente differenti. ![]()

That’s issue 20 of Saga of the Swamp Thing. ![]() There’s nothing on Comixology that remotely catches my eye today, so I’ve decided to take advantage of their sale of classic DC Comics titles to help promote DC’s Convergence event to do a little review of a comic that helped changed the industry in the US, but is barely spoken about mainly because of the issue that followed it. ![]() ![]() However in 2012 we have the advantage of Google “Images” as a companion to reading the book. ![]() ![]() It is lavishly illustrated with 261 plates, nearly all in color. “The Shock of the New” arose out of a TV series that Robert Hughes wrote and narrated for the UK BBC. This re-review is also needed because the corporate takeover of Art perceived by Robert Hughes in 1980 has now extended to a pervasive corporatism that has subverted and perverted Western democracies to the point that they can now be seen as Lobbyocracies, Murdochracies (reflecting the global power of the Murdoch media empire), or Corporatocracies in which Big Money buys politicians, parties, public perception of reality, votes and thence political power. ![]() It is appropriate to remember this impressive Australian by re-reviewing his important book “The Shock of the New” (1980) that analyzes the revolutions in Modern Art since the late 19th century. ![]() Book Review: “The Shock Of The New” By Robert Hughes (1938-2012) –Įxpatriate Australian art critic Robert Hughes died on 6 August 2012, aged 74. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Morgan spent forty years screenwriting before a radical move into anthropology and ethics, with Descent of Woman and The Aquatic Ape. She is perhaps best known for her adaptation of How Green Was My Valley, and her original screenplay, Lloyd George. She was truly a pioneer, on whose shoulders today’s female television writers stand. Morgan went from being among the very first women writers for radio and television to one of the pre-eminent screenplay writers in the UK. In this her career ran in parallel with fellow Rhondda author Gwyn Thomas, and Leeworthy traces their rise and the reasons behind it. This brought her to screenwriting and adaptations for tv, and in particular the BBC. The book details Morgan’s early career in (left-wing) adult education, her marriage to an International Brigade veteran, her continuing political engagement and her success as a writer of stories and journalism. It outlines her early days living only just above the poverty line in the Rhondda in a Labour/Communist steeped family, before reading English Literature at Oxford. Published to celebrate Elaine Morgan’s centenary, this informative biography restores Morgan’s reputation and establishes her significant place in writing from Wales. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kevin Moskowitz was born in the mid 80s and, like all superheroes, was experimented on at birth by Vought International with Compound V.

So what I'm talking about here is the cartoon as an opinion medium. But I still feel that the political cartoon should have a view to express, that it should have some purpose beyond the chuckle.
