Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* RC Harvey talks about gag strips doing story sequences related to the BP oil spill.

* the painter and poet Tony Fitzpatrick continues to use Facebook to roll out his series of larger-than-life characters.

* six or seven things she knows about Popeye.

* if you were going to read just one comics-related story all day, you should make it this interview with Drew Friedman. I hope to God before I die that all the stories I end up telling add up to be as good as the stuff Friedman tosses out there in a single response. Sheesh.

* Chris Butcher on Goji Ishihara.

* I think the entire funnybook industry agrees with Hulk just about now.

* great sifting-through-what's-out-there catch by Johanna Draper Carlson, who makes a pretty convincing case DC is backing away from announced plans to focus a significant minority amount of publishing energy on OGNs.

* finally, Heidi MacDonald has a post up about somebody in a sort-of comics-related business crowing about exploiting young freelancers. The comments section brings it back to comics pretty solidly. As long as people don't care, nothing will be done. And people in comics really, really, really, really, really, really just don't care about moral and ethical business practices.
