A Few Late, Last CCI 2009 Notes

* the cartoonist Stephan Pastis writes about fellow ink-slinger Richard Thompson's recent announcement he's been diagnosed with Parkinson's, and how that's changed his outlook on attending this year's show.

* the Comics Journal has another one of its odd, severely-truncated previews of the show up here. Heidi MacDonald at The Beat has a superior set of listings if you're looking for that kind of thing, just by virtue of papering the virtual walls of her site with press releases and announcements and word from her huge rolodex of industry pals.

* for those of you keeping track, this year's feature-story subjects that have only a tangential relationship to Comic-Con but are still written about and linked to a lot are squids and pedi-cabs.

* I'm pretty certain none of these work. Nice photo, though. I'm trying to remember what has worked in my wider circle of friends and acquaintances and two words that repeat themselves maybe a half dozen times are "beach party." So go to a beach party.

* I'm going to guess renewed attention to Disney's efforts in comics is one of the three big general publishing stories to come out of the show. If it's not, it's going to be a fun show with a lot going on.
