Cartoonists Write To Tell Me Things

* Shad Petosky on the potential creation of a social network for comics:

"At Comic-Con, Kelly Sue mentioned that MYSPACE was going to add a comic channel like they have with their film and music channels. I think this could be pretty interesting and keep meaning to check into it. Speaking of Myspace: Jenna Fischer, star of The Office, keeps promoting comics on her page and blog. She's mentioned Joe Matt and Renee French a bunch. Word has it that Jenna is a cartoonist."

* Paul Karasik on a series I said looked like a Time-Life series for Comics:

"I noticed that you had a mention of the Coconino/La Republica series a while back and have been meaning to let you know about it. It is a collaboration between the most popular Italian daily newspaper and Coconino Press. Each week a new volume appears at the newsstands but if you miss a volume, I think that they are available by mail. The books have been designed by Coconino so they are as handsome as all Coconino books. In all there are ten volumes in the series. The American books are: Maus, Blankets, Palestine, David Boring, and City of Glass. They all contain extra goodies largely unavailable elsewhere: interviews, sketches, articles...but your Italian needs to be pretty good to be able to read them. Mostly I look at the pictures. Blankets, Palestine, David Boring contain interviews between myself and the individual artists. City of Glass contains the interview that ran in Indy magazine between myself and Bill Kartalopoulos. They are on week number 4."
