Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Brian Hibbs wants to find some talented alt-cartoonist a job.

* Ryan K. Lindsay expresses a deep and abiding love for artist Riley Rossmo's depictions of various superhero characters. Lindsay is right in that Facebook has become this huge repository for visual imagery far ahead of what one might have thought it would.

* iFanboy does its readers the favor of pointing out that "we sold out of ____" announcements should never be taken at face value.

* not comics: I had about five people overnight e-mail me a link to Phil McAndrew's fun essay on tips for creators, which means someone prominent (if not several prominent people) likely had it well before I'm linking to it here. I apologize to that person or those people. It's never a bad thing to reflect on one's general professional conduct.

* Daryl Cagle points out that a big winner of this week's gossipy Arnold Schwarzenegger news is an old cartoon by Cam Cardow. There is likely something profound to be said about conducting a life in public in a way that old cartoons can be applied to new scandals, but I'm not the person to say it. In case you were wondering, Team Stan Lee is still on board with the action star for a cartoon.

* not comics: Michael Buntag recommends a slideshow of inspiring bookstores. Not not comics: Greg Burgas recommends Nextwave: Agents Of HATE, the funny Warren Ellis/Stuart Immonen effort that felt like they were getting away with something they shouldn't have been.

* finally, Tom Devlin writes in praise of the Lars Jansson Moomin strips that D+Q just published.
