I’m hoping some of you are getting out and about for the long holiday weekend. If not, stay in and read some comics. Or whatever – I’m not the boss of you.

Or am I?

Regardless of who’s in charge, comics things are happening, and we’ve got them all right here for your perusal:

The Doom Patrol on DC Nation

Hey, cool – DC Nation will be airing new shorts based on The Doom Patrol. Oh god, I love the calm little “oh hell” moment when Elasti-Woman has to take over the flight stick.

It looks like they’re going for more of a ’70s Saturday morning cartoon vibe than, you know, the complicated, sexually and narratively challenging stuff out of Grant Morrison in the ’90s. KIDS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE BROTHERHOOD OF DADA!

Read Asaf Hanuka’s A Complicated Question

Speaking of parents, Israeli cartoonist Asaf Hanuka answers A Complicated Question in this short strip about explaining the hard realities of the world to kids. It’s gentle, not at all polemic (whatever side you fall on in the Israel/Palestine conflict), and is absolutely, positively worth your time.
