Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Elle Collins on Beauties. Tom Murphy on Drawn And Quarterly: 25 Years. Karen O'Brien on Saga.

* not sure where I picked up this old post featuring B. Kliban's letters, but I'm guessing it was a casual mention on Facebook.

* this review by Robert Boyd of 2015 art book informs me that there's a book of those off-the-cuff on-line Art Chantry essays from a little big ago. Those were great.

* I had a hard time following this article because it was accompanied by a distracting photo of a guy sculpting a giant pair of testicles, but apparently the torpor with which a promised bravery of creative expression award has come to life has led an artist and some allies to do a testicle and ass related award named something between balls to the wall and balls up your ass.

* what a great-looking book plate. I'm not even sure what it's for, and I'm committed to buying it.

* not comics: Robert Kirkman's Skybound Entertainment spreads its crossover wings a bit. We're not at a point in history where companies can involved ex-Telltale employees.

* here's Brian Cronin's top comics list for 2015.

* finally, in "sports and comics rarely meet" news, there's a talented cartoonist that's the kid of early '80s baseball juggernaut Dale Murphy. I did not know this.
