Bundled, Tossed, Untied & Stacked: Publishing News

By Tom Spurgeon

* there's a bunch of fun art here from Darryl Cunningham's Graphic Science.

* former New Yorker cartoon chief Bob Mankoff lands at Esquire, which means a traditional market for cartoons opens back up. I hope the rates are good. They'll be good relative to other markets, because many don't exist, but I worry that this part of the field doesn't afford a living to many of its creators. In a healthy traditional market it would be interesting to see who ends up at Esquire, but in such a client-light market I imagine everyone will be interested.

* this forthcoming collection of The Maxx should make a lot of cartoonists in that 28-35 sweet spot happy. I always think of that as an influential title for that group, as much as anything is.

* finally, Mark Parisi launches a cleverly-named series aimed at young readers: Marty Pants.
