Missed It: Kent Worcester Retires From TCJ.com

One thing I didn't notice yesterday as the affiliated blog Hooded Utilitarian announced its departure from the on-line iteration of The Comics Journal is that longtime writer Kent Worcester had said his farewell a few days earlier. Worcester was a writer with whom I worked at the print magazine in the mid-'90s; I always like reading him, so that he will be publishing less frequently is bad news. I look forward to whatever he does next, of course.

As for related matters, Noah Berlatsky muses further on HU's time affiliated with TCJ.com here. He mentions rumors that may indicate more moves to come. I've received e-mails from other contributors to the site that tell me they haven't been told if there are more changes afoot at the longtime comics magazine, but it interests me less to be right on top of such an announcement than it does to wonder after what such move might in substantive fashion lead its readers. A small thread at the magazine's once-thriving message board about the departures has only a handful of participants.
