Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the cartoonist Craig Thompson provides another glimpse of his forthcoming Habibi, already 405 pages long.

* the cartoonist Darryl Cunningham's Super-Sam comes to an end. I very much enjoyed this humorous superhero story and generally enjoy Cunningham's visual take on things. As I can't see the current economic situation making for a color print version of this story anytime soon, I recommend you bookmark it and enjoy it onscreen some lazy afternoon.

* for that matter, another strip I've been reading on-line I enjoyed just as much but in a completely different way, Nick Abadzis' The Trial Of The Sober Dog, ended its long run at his site and one supposes in the newspaper that was supporting its serialization in print.

* you, too, can Ask Alan.

* not comics: a corporate officer at the New York Times pens a letter to rebut general rumors about there about an imminent decline and specifically the way thata analysis found play within an Atlantic Monthly article. Matt Welch points out that full disclosure can often change the meaning of something entirely and generally stands on top of a lunchroom table hitting critics of his recent article on the future of newspapers with a sock that has a bar of soap at its end. The Tribune goes all tabloid and whatnot, as if to up the ante now that the longstanding Seattle newspaper battle looks like it is winding down.

* finally, Alan Gardner has a funny and biting interview with Patrick O'Connor, recent editorial cartoonist at the LA Daily News, over the paper's decline and the details of his being let go. "Working at the Daily News has been like living with an incompetent, terminally ill relative."
