Assembled, Zipped, Transferred And Downloaded: News From Digital

* Bill Holbrook's Kevin & Kell turns 20 this week. That one is widely recognized as one of the first on-line strips of the modern variety, and the one that's run longest in continual fashion. Congratulationis to Holbrook. In an equivalent time in print comics history entire "ages" had passed and the only features still running continuously were books that featured characters like Superman.

* one thing I hadn't noticed with the relaunch of Trouble With Comics is exactly what Chris Allen would be doing for the site. I wondered, as he's the most associated with editor/publisher Alan David Doane and hasn't done a whole lot of writing at all since the last time Doane has an ongoing effort on the front burner somewhere. Here's my answer: a column called Journey Into Marvelry.

* finally, Gary Tyrrell provides commentary and context on Randall Munroe's latest mind-alterating cartoon, in a long series of such cartoons.
