From Hither, Yon: Various News Notes

* As always it's hard to quantify what it means, but Fantagraphics has sold out of some of its bigger summer offerings.

* I can't imagine Tom Toles' use of this phrasing and terminology is going to sit well with certain groups of people, even some who aren't just playing outraged for rhetorical and political effect. I'm too frightened to do a blog search to see what people are saying.

* E Simms Campbell's Esky returns in the new Esquire re-design.

* GoComics adds Jeff Smith's Bone to its line-up, although I could swear I already knew that.

* Lynn Johnston's campaign to clarify that her For Better or For Worse strip won't be going away but into hybrids now includes letters to prominent editors as well as interviews.

* Rich Johnston unearths news that Scott Dunbier is on a leave of absence, since confirmed, that he relates to recent in-house struggles over various issues, including those related to the latest League of Extraordinary Gentlemen book. That book faces copyright difficulties that will restrict it to a US-only release. Something doesn't scan right logic-wise in that news -- the news itself, not Rich's take on it -- but I can't put my finger on it.

* Cartoonist Jeff Kilpatrick recently lost over 3000 pieces of scanned art as well as several personal items to a robbery: making back-ups doesn't work all that well when the back-ups are robbed, too.
