Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* hey, it's the year in review for The Beguiling.

* Mike Lynch reminds us that yesterday was that greatest of all cartooning-related holidays, Peter Arno Day. I wrote a few weeks back that Bill Mauldin was a fine role-model for cartoonists, and I still believe that, but it'd also be awfully nice if some sort of infatuation with Peter Arno's basic public style took hold. (Also, don't try to click through on any of those links on the linked-to page; all but one is dead.)

* Chris Mautner selects a fine bunch of overlooked books for 2011. I thought Eye Of The Majestic Creature was overlooked.

* Paul Gravett talks to Eric Khoo. Tim O'Shea talks to Paige Braddock.

* Mark Evanier talks about inviting cartoonists to appear at show, and which ones don't choose to attend.

* Sean T. Collins caught these two forthcoming projects from Fantagraphics via the posting their cover art.

* Matt Seneca on a Miller/Mazzucchelli sequence from Batman: Year One.

* Ryan Holmberg's articles about manga fascinate me. Any columnist that writes columns they could be totally making up and I wouldn't have any idea how to tell is my kind of columnist.

* the Christmas-related initiative sponsored by the CBLDF raised about $75K during December. Hey, that's good news.

* Edie Fake is Frank Santoro's guest this week on the Scene Report, this time talking about my former residence of Chicago.

* this is a very funny story, the humor of which will occur to you if you've ever read Marvel's mutant books. Funnily, it's only the second douchebaggiest thing that company has ever done with a toy line and shifting credit.

* Rob Clough on The Great Northern Brotherhood Of Canadian Cartoonists. Sean Gaffney on Ouran High School Host Club Vol. 17. Greg McElhatton on Activity #1. David Brothers on Fatale #1. Robert Stanley Martin on Batman & Robin Vol. 1.

* finally, Johanna Draper Carlson reads the fine print.
