Since the C in C-List is supposed to reference Canadian content as well as the perceived generally third-rate nature of Canadian cartooning news vis the rest of the world, I feel kind of weird making this partially international round-up of weblinks a regular C-list post. However, since the C-List is where this stuff usually gets dumped, I’m sticking with the format.
