Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Argyle Sweater hits the 200-client mark. That's quite the achievement whenever it happens and in this market doubly so.

image* Chris Mautner interviews Dylan Williams about Sparkplug, focusing a bit on the Diamond minimums. Williams admits that even his best-selling books won't make the minimum sales points and then just kind of shrugs and vows to keep on going about his business.

* the comics historian Mark Evanier engages the question of whether or not the late Lionel Ziprin worked on some Dell comic books so I don't have to. I think it would be awesome in one sense if we found out about more and more secret comics creators over the next couple of decades, and it would be equally awesome in a sense if people exaggerated their past so that it included comics rather than denied them.

* not comics: you know, just the other day I was thinking about Apocalypse Meow/Cat Shit One and how weird that series was. Then Heidi MacDonald posts this, which looks like a proposed movie updating the concept into modern desert warfare (or maybe I just forgot that part).

* finally, the writer Jim Kingman walks through The Complete Peanuts: 1971-1972 in a way that may be familiar to many folks that are re-reading this material after experiencing it the first time through the various original book series.
