Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Tim O'Shea talks to the longtime Editor & Publisher mainstay David Astor about some of the general issues surrounding the cartooning profession as newspapers suffer the twin assaults of a general economic downturn and a seismic shift in terms of the effect of on-line media. I miss Astor's voice almost every day in blogging on these issues.

* missed it: Mike Lynch introduces video featuring the South African cartoonist Zapiro about his being sued by ANC powerhouse Jacob Zuma. Zapiro was criticized for another cartoon recently, this one holidays-related. And here's a profile of a recent show.

* go, look: cartoonists take on the issues related to this latest round of violence in Gaza.

* not comics, but pretty amazing and good news, besides: an update on the recovery of Carla and Lance Hoffman and the story of their harrowing escape from last year's Tea Fire.

* finally, between this list of manga stories/mysteries for 2009 and the recent Chris Butcher essay, I think we're all better equipped to cover that aspect of the comics industry in the months ahead.
