Gobelins animated shorts never cease to amaze with their stylish presentation and cathartic themes. In this latest short, a girl comes back home to an oppressive living room and throws up acrobats in front of her family. The story is a clear allegory for the experience of growing up Queer in a household that has heteronormative expectations. French animation continues to push boundaries in terms of visual aesthetic and subject matter.

We're back with our longtime annual CBR tradition. At the end of the year, we polled the many members of the CBR staff that make this site so great and asked them for their rankings of the top comics of the year. Every publisher putting out new comics material in English, regardless of genre or format, was fair game; each individual list was then factored in to determine the overall Top 100 that will be unveiled on CBR over the course of this week.

After a contentious special meeting on Thursday, Llano County Judge Ron Cunningham announced that the county's library system will stay open.
“The library will remain open. We will try this in the courts — not through social media or through news media,” Cunningham said.
Commissioners considered whether or not they would shut down their library system rather than complying with a federal judge’s order that they must return 17 banned books to the library shelves.
