Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* here is a nice and longish post about Joe Sacco's visit this week to the Center For Cartoon Studies. Sacco's one of the best cartoonists.

image* the great John Porcellino talks about a favorite teacher in order to make a point. (via Sean T. Collins)

* with all the political turmoil in the world and in various Midwestern state capitals, I have to imagine most North American political cartoonists are glad to have something really stupid about which to draw a cartoon.

* Nicole Rudick talks to Lynda Barry. Here's a link to an interview with Gary Panter done in comics form.

* a retailer shares advice on things you can do to save comics. Hopefully, Bill Gates is a reader.

* finally, D+Q throws the publishing news spotlight on two new books that have made it back to their office, while Fantagraphics discusses the forthcoming (by late May) TCJ #301. Looks stupendous, particularly, as Gil Roth just pointed out to me, at this jaw-dropping Amazon.com price of just over $11.
