here's a Wendy Pini pin-up that I guess is both not all that big in the original art sense and very, very clean.
* you can see some Gregory Benton comics pages
here.
* not exactly comics: John Jackson Miller has
a succinct and even respectful post up with all the links you need if you're interested in the comic book ads permutation of last week's Hostess plants closure news story. Those were cute ads, and certainly memorable -- one of many links between comics and junk food that was kind of soaked into their pages for years and years. Another of their popular brands was Dolly Madison, known for
their relationship with the Peanuts characters. I know the
Peanuts imprimatur drove me to that brand when I was a kid, at least to picking Dolly Madison products over other, similar food items. At any rate: I'm sorry for all the people that lost their jobs, for whatever the ultimate reason or reasons this was so.

here's a photo of Picasso dressed up as Popeye -- well, Popeye in his underwear, anyway. (thx, Paul Di Filippo)
* not comics: not even sure what's going on here, but
this photo made me laugh when I went back to it in bookmarks.
* Carren Jao profiles
Jim Drain. Shawn Conner profiles
Joe Sacco. Simon Hanselmann talks to
Sam Gaskin.
* finally, a bit of not-comics:
cartoonists creating wallpaper.
