Sharing is caring: Coke ads, Darwin and Star Wars

"The New Godfather" by Drew Friedman

"The New Godfather" by Drew Friedman

Sharing Is Caring is where we take all the interesting art and Webcomics links we’ve accumulated in our inbox and unleash them in one messy pile. Watch where you step!

* Drew Friedman riffs on Janis Joplin and The Godfather.

* Any excuse I can have to link to a Kate Beaton comic is a good one.

* D&Q posts a massive one-page strip by John Stanley that could have easily fit within the pages of KE7.

* Monsters, ape-men, kung-fu and alligators. That’s what you’ll find at Johnny Sampson’s blog. (via)

* Your totally awesome news of the month: Animator  Hayao Miyazaki is apparently making manga again. In watercolor no less.

* Cartoonist Sam Hiti did a six page comic for a Coke Zero ad campaign in Hong Kong and is kind enough to share the final results.

* Star Wars fans take note: If you haven’t seen it already yet, BioWare and Dark Horse have teamed up to produce Star Wars: The Old Republic: The Threat of Peace, as a way to hype the upcoming video game. Words are by Rob Chestney. Art is by Alex Sanchez.  (via)

* Dash Shaw mashes up his own work with that of Frank Cho, with considerably odd results.

* Here’s something I was heretofore unaware of: James Kochalka is doing a series of comics based off of the odd Mii avatars he creates with his Nintendo Wii. It’s called Monster Mii.

Correction on that Frank Cho mashup: The artwork is actually by Jason T. Miles, based on a suggestion by Dash.

Thanks for the Miyazaki news! Don’t miss the part at the end where they say they’ll be releasing English translation for free online.

I need to reread “Nausicaa”.
