Not Comics: Robert Kirkman On The View This Morning

I liked writing that headline. Although the Comics Journal editor in me definitely thought upon first reading about the Walking Dead creator being on the inexplicably popular daytime talk show that it's a shame that this will likely get more play from many comics and cartooning sites -- including a couple that should know better -- than Ali Ferzat winning the Sakharov Prize, and the creator of the TCJ message board in me then thought it might be worth mentioning that of course it's the TV show for which he's on and not really his comics writing, the non-jerky parts of me are happy for Kirkman's success however it finds public display. He's forged his own career path counter to the way most careers are made in comics writing these days, I frequently hear stories from comics fans about nice things he's done for them, and I've enjoyed a lot of his work. Besides, Whoopi Goldberg once wrote a pretty good Complete Peanuts introduction, so it's not like he's going in there cold, plus I'm pretty sure the only way to kill Elisabeth Hasselbeck is also a clean head shot.
