announces big plans for his foundational comics site
Daily Cartoonist.
* Lea Hernandez
has started a comics serial at
Boing Boing.
* congratulations to Dean Trippe
for reaching the 2K mark on downloads of his admirable

* the

* looks like Julia Wertz
will be doing a short serial for Symbolia.

registration for the PAXEast show was of the high-traffic/shutting down the site variety. I guess that shouldn't be a surprise given how popular those shows are, although there was some blowback a few weeks back about how safe female attendees felt within that community and at those events.

That's a four-show enterprise now.
* finally, it looks like Kate Leth
will be freelancing for ComicsAlliance.
