Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* this was unexpected but very cool: Takehiko Inoue interviews the captain of the Japanese wheelchair basketball team.

image* considering Richard Thompson and Cul De Sac could probably file stalking charges against this blog (see typical post below this one), it's kind of odd that the first anniversary of the strip in its syndicated form escaped my notice. Happy important milestone birthday to one of the signature comics of this decade. The rough rule of thumb for comic strips is that one third of those that debut don't make it this far, so this is more important than you might think.

* it's probably very common, and I suppose it's better than doing it and not talking about it, but I still find it weird to read people openly speaking about what comic books they're going to plumb for their movies.

* finally, here's Frank Miller's reaction to the goofiest comics-related story of the year. I was hoping someone would get him on the radio and fail to bleep any curse words he provided in a statement, but this will more than do.
