Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* this Wizard article on webcomics featuring various on-line all-stars contains more useful information than these kinds of article tend to offer, including traffic figures and hosting costs.

image* the cartoonist Anders Nilsen has arranged for a massive art and other stuff auction featuring various comics all-stars to raise money for commercials to aid in the passage of health reform. You can read about it and find everything you need link-wise to buy or simply stare at what's being offered here.

* there's a really nice article in the Chicago Reader about Scott Stantis taking the Chicago Tribune job. Basically, he's been after the job for so long it's a very different job now. Stantis starts September 1.

* the ASIFA site continues to offer free Eugene Zimmerman-related downloads to bring attention to the group's newly-published textbooks.

* somebody's planning a new on-line comics magazine.

* everyone's pal Frank Santoro directs you to a link of How To Read Nancy, something that should be on every comics fan's "To Do" list.

* the artist D'Israeli uses an upcoming convention event as a opportunity to muse on digital art.

* the ASIFA folks have also tossed up this range of links showing off the core strengths of their site. It's quite something, and I recommend it to you as this week's unofficial Friday Distraction.

* finally, we may not live in the future I imagined as a 10-year-old, but it's certainly a world kinder to that imagination. (I couldn't bring myself to steal a photo for my own use, but #21 is the best one.)
