Bundled, Tossed, Untied and Stacked

* new Frank later this year. Hooray!

* the cartoonist and illustrator Colleen Doran has re-launched her on-line efforts; they're substantive enough for that news to have a place here as opposed to a more simplistic promo post. Of particular interest is her attention to creators rights and resources.

* I missed that artist Ben Templesmith was doing some Dr. Who comics, but Warren Ellis did not. I guess that's another reason why he's Internet Jesus and I'm Internet Casimir Jagiellon.

* I've heard from a couple of people that the author Michael Tisserand is doing or at least considering a biography of George Herriman, perhaps for Harper-Collins. Or I could just google it, and find it on the Herriman site.

* there's apparently a Charles Darwin comics biography in the works.

* although it sounds like a magazine about comics, a new free publication called Comic Strip will actually feature the work of emerging cartoonists.

* the ComicArts catalog is out, in anticipation of that line's debut/launch.

* the publication of the Immonens' Never As Bad As You Think is apparently either upon us or imminent.

* I hadn't know that David Rees was retiring his successful Get Your War On comic along with President Bush. That was a frequently hysterical effort, and I hope Rees will continue to do comics.

* the edition of I Love You, Beth Cooper that will come out with the movie of the same name won't feature Evan Dorkin's cover, but will feature several pages of his comics.

* finally, the family of the late Irving Phillips is putting his Mr. Mum panel on-line and selling merchandise related to the strip.
