Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Michael Neno on Through A Basement Window.

* here's an article about the latest iteration of the character The Wasp suffering from bipolar disorder in her solo-adventure narratives. That's a good use for characters like that, throwing a spotlight on a health issue.

* that dumb Serena Williams cartoon goes up before the Council Of Willful Stupidity or something similar. That just seems an openly, obvious portrayal based on racial stereotypes and sexist assumptions -- what it's based on and from where it comes if not that is beyond me, and a proclamation that things that includes a whine that things are too politically correct seems like an argument a middle school student would rustle up in its defense. I say let the worldwide press die.

* Mark Evanier writes about the generational differences of North American comics creators.

* Farel Dalrymple talks to Brandon Graham; Brandon Graham talks to Farel Dalrymple. Molly Barnewitz profiles Lynda Barry.

* you probably don't really need to know this stuff.

* finally: Randy Enos tells a story.
