Profiles In Comics: Beaton, Callahan

* I like this Kate Beaton profile by Whitney Matheson because it's little more than "Kate Beaton is awesome! Read Kate Beaton's comics!" Then again, what else do you need? I have to imagine a lot of Matheson's readers would very much like Beaton's work.

* there are many things to say about the late John Callahan. Here are two. First, I don't think I've seen a lot of cartoonists who generated as many tribute posts and articles at such a sustained pace for weeks after passing away. I think part of it is that people wanted to think about Callahan a bit before writing about him. Second I don't think I've ever seen an odder bunch of generated "related articles" as the ones I've seen for Callahan in posts like this one.

* as a bonus profile -- meaning I don't want to rewrite my post title -- I present to you Sajjive Balakrishnan, who has maybe underlined the difference between cartoonists in North America and places like India for all time by mentioning that the tax agent/artist actually goes by the name "the fat cartoonist."
