Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* Chris Ware
has been profiled in the
New York Review Of Books
in a massive, laudatory piece.
This piece at
Rookie
is really great, too.
* Richard Bruton on
Segway
. Sean Gaffney on
Thermae Romae
Vol. 1
. Rob Clough on
Hotwire
. Johanna Draper Carlson on
Start With A Happy Ending
.
* not comics:
Meredith Gran gives fitness advice
.
* Alan Gardner found a site that collected all of
the tribute strips to
Peanuts
from back in 2000
. Man, you know you're getting old when you have to check the list to see if you participated in something like that (we didn't). Speaking of people finding things, Brandon Graham
directs our attention
to
this site with cartoon-style depictions of Serpieri's Druuna character
.
*
I always listen to
Comic Books Are Burning In Hell
while I clean the office on Friday mornings
. The best one is Jog.
* David L. Ulin talks to
Julia Wertz
. Alex Dueben talks to
Dan Goldman
and
Charles Burns
. Dave Bower talks to
Dean Haspiel
. Mina Kaneko talks to
Adrian Tomine
.
* a bunch of different talented people, including a couple of cartoonists,
talk about getting past creative blocks
.
*
I vote no
, but that's only because anything anyone else does diminishes me and what I do.
* finally,
this photo set from BCGF is sure something
. There's a lot of people in there I didn't see photographed by anyone else.
