Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked: Publishing News

By Tom Spurgeon

* newspaper strip insiders have been talking about Olivia Jaimes taking over Nancy for months. I'm still one of those people that doesn't want to see legacy strips even when they're done by someone notable and/or idiosyncratic and/or skilled, but of course if we to have have them I prefer they be interesting. Jaimes is the first female cartoonist to do that particular strip.

* the headline is confusing but this is basically an Arabic comics line profile.

* a one-volume of Terry Gilliam's static cartooning work would be very welcome, and is one of the last great obvious projects-to-do along with Flenniken, Kliban and Groening. Animations Of Mortality is at a price point you could also just reprint that one and make a lot of people happy.

* the story of the Chicago creative community (and friends) stepping up to finish a graphic novel by the late Ed Siemienkowicz is encouraging and funny in a very human way. RIP.

* finally, I missed this: congratulations on this fine gig to Hillary Chute and Ed Park. Both are solid, substantial writers.
