Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* according to an Amazon.com entry, Ben Katchor has secured a 2018 Christmas book release date before anyone else could get to it.

* a new book on prejudice facing Muslims focuses on media portrayals in editorial cartoons, and one of the co-authors explains why. To be fair, they go back as far as John Adams, so it's not like it only rips on portrayals in the modern press.

image* it looks as if Jose Munoz is beginning his formal press and pr run leading up to 2008's festival at Angouleme. The cool thing about that is that this begins an equally fevered run of running cool Sinner art noting Munoz's appearances and, eventually, the festival he helps organize. afNews.com notes that the late artist Luciano Bottaro will be honored at the show.

* Terry Moore announces his new series. Since he's only had the one, this becomes a bit bigger news-wise than an equivalent announcement from most cartoonists.

* Dan Clowes talks The Simpsons and drawing Frankenstein.

* according to the D&Q site the Montreal weekly Voir offers up this cover feature in honor of Michel Rabagliati being the Guest of Honor at the Salon Du Livre Festival.

* Ohio State has a few slideshows up on its 2007 Festival of Cartoon Art.

* Drew Litton celebrates 25 years as a sports cartoonist, which is kind of like celebrating 25 years as a big bandleader; E&P wishes him a happy anniversary.
