* the cartoonist Kate Beaton announces official Fall arrival for her forthcoming King Baby. It has been an excellent last couple of years to be a fan of the artist.

image* count Laura Park in as one of those creators likely to have new comics out for CAKE this weekend. I think one of the great, fun things about comics is creators that try to have new material out for major shows or hometown shows. I think that's really healthy.

* what's the best news in mini-comics? New King-Cat imminent is the best news in mini-comics.

* this sale at Fantagraphics' non-traditionally distributed FU Press reminds what's been on sale through that imprint, and a little bit of what's to come. That Greg Stump book may be the weirdest book Fantagraphics has ever published, by the way, to their credit and Mr. Stump's.

* Tom Gauld has a pre-order page up for his Mooncop. Greatly looking forward to that one; that was an excellent FCBD offering and Gauld's track record is impeccable.

* it looks like we get two more volumes in the Amulet series, and that they're both being worked on at the same time.

* finally, I don't always look at Paul Gravett's curation of the months ahead the way I should, but I was grateful to do so this time for this look at the handsome cover of the next Dave McKean project.
