Comics News Story Update Round-Up

* Editor & Publisher notes that the first two books in a partnership between Universal and self-publishing facilitator Lulu.com have become available. They are Circling Normal, A Book About Autism from Clear Blue Water's Karen Montague-Reyes, and Come Here Often? Bad Pickup Lines and Other Dating Atrocities from JC Duffy of The Fusco Brothers. The deal was announced in May.

* A blogger at the New York Times surveys the Tintin re-shelving solution and name-checks Dave Chappelle.

* Tom Bone details his experience at this year's AAEC conference interacting with Jyllands-Posten editor Flemming Rose and related panelists on the subject of the Danish Muhammed cartoons. Bone is skeptical about the necessity of the contest that started it all. I might dispute a couple of the facts -- the caricatures hit news sources quickly enough links to coverage ran here same-month -- but I appreciate Bone's genuine sifting through of the fact and explanations presented to him.
