Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Matt Seneca on Son Of Hitler.

* Bleeding Cool re-runs an admirable Colleen Doran patreon article about her finances and how they breakdown. I think the wider discussion here is that comics professionals are beginning to apply more sophisticated metrics to whether or not they attend shows. This will transform that element of comics culture.

* I'm going to go ahead and say I did not know that the Rising Sun flag of Japan has a Confederate flag-type implication when used in other parts of Asia, although that makes perfect sense and I probably would have sussed that out had I known about any past controversy like the cartoonist one described here.

* David Horsey does a little semi-animated piece on the very broad strokes things he notices about Seattle on a visit. I like some of the effects used here in the background and for movement in what is basically a bunch of editorial drawings crammed together. Seattle is a great city, and is definitely on the far side of being recognized as that kind of city for two full decades now. I think it's been doomed since the big companies decided to come across the lake into Seattle itself. It must have been amazing there 1988-1992.

* finally: congratulations to the friends and remaining family of the great Bob Montana.
