* one of great writers in other media to write comics that we almost never talk about: Michael O'Donoghue.
* very nice of the FPI blog and a handful of appreciative cartoonists to pay tribute to Leo Baxendale on his 60th year in comics. That is an extraordinary thing, the length of Baxendale's career. We had a five-hour interview on tape with him at The Comics Journal when I worked there that I want to say was a victim of a couple of big office re-arrangements, but I'm not all the way certain.
