Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* David Collier's Eustace Tilley entry.

* Jeet Heer extols the virtues of Poem Strip.

image* Daryl Cagle has a lengthy post up on a deeply fascinating -- at least to me -- topic: what happens when a flamboyant, odd or otherwise out-sized politician comes to whatever initial power they have in proximity to a working editorial cartoonist at the top of their game? Cagle presents a sampling of the torrent of cartoons that Steve Sack has made about Michele Bachmann.

* bring out your cosmically irradiated dead.

* Lucy Knisley has a new comic up. She says she crowdsourced the background players and their problems, which isn't something cartoonists used to do, I don't think.

* the cartoonist and educator Matt Madden talks about the Belles Etrangeres documentary in which he took part, now available via live streaming.

* Alison Bechdel has drawn a fine-looking Jack LaLanne for her blog, and discusses her childhood fitness idol. Speaking of people drawing things, Andrea Tsurumi has started another series, this time of villainesses.

* a couple of auctions worth noting. Chris Samnee is selling this fine-looking black and white image, while P. Craig Russell is selling two colossally handsome images from his collection.

* I quite like this little cascade of images from Guy Delisle, apparently a page from a forthcoming book.

* finally, Evan Dorkin talks process, with some large-sized panels posted so you can see what he's talking about.
