Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the cartoonist/author Jeff Kinney was just named one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine.

image* the cartoonist and educator Steve Bissette tells a story about pay vouchers and DC Comics and Julie Schwartz and the mid-1980s that's actually nice, although he notes its rarity in the context of his overall relationship with the company in that period.

* people keep sending me this definitive guide to the history of the comic book industry, but I can't say as I understand it or am intrigued enough to dig in. As your mileage may vary, I'm happy to link to it, though.

* Rin-ne running late already?

* the cartoonist John Kovalic has had a very interesting career.

* not comics: say hello to your new on-line juggernaut.

* finally, it may not be the best thing I ever wrote, but I didn't think last Sunday's feature on "best series" was so bad it falls under the category of "Swine Flu In Comics." Ouch.
