Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Buzz Dixon remembers Jan Berenstain.

image* wow, that is just a staggering number of unpublished Troop 142 pages. Like a Strider as a hobbit wearing wooden shoes amount of ultimately unused material.

* Brad Mackay on The Someday Funnies. David Berry on a bunch of different comics. Greg McElhatton on Cross Game Vol. 6. Johanna Draper Carlson on Government Issue. John Parker on The Playboy. Todd Klein on Irredeemable Vol. 6.

* do they still have things like Sharper Image? Because I really need to buy a Joker Utility Belt.

* not comics: people keep e-mailing me this photo array of 1970s rock stars with their parents.

* and you thought the new Wally Wood Artist's Edition book was big.

* there's a response from Archie CEO Jon Goldwater in this post about the Kevin Keller Vs. Activist Christian Moms story, or however you want to describe it.

* Scott Edelman ends his series of posts about character write-ups he found around the Marvel offices back in the day.

* here's an article about 12 colleges where comics are taught, which includes a short description of how they're taught. I'm not sure this is something I ever wanted to know, but it's also something about which I had little to no idea.

* hey, it's J. Chris Campbell's Neatobots!

* Andy Burns talks to Caitlin R. Kiernan. Stilts McGoon talks to the Trip City collective (1, 2). Mike Dawson talks to Box Brown. Robin McConnell talks to Jog, Matt Seneca and Tucker Stone. Colin Smith on It's A Good Life, If You Don't Weaken. Rina Ayuyang and Thien Pham talk to the great Tom Hart. A bunch of folks talk to Nick Spencer. Graeme McMillan talks to Troy Brownfield.

* I didn't know that certain fans were mad at the new Catwoman comic because Catwoman was all sexy and rash; I was under the impression they were mad because she was being kind of dim and gross. Tells you what I know.

* my favorite superhero, Gilbert Hernandez's Fortunato, never makes lists like this one.

* all the comics are going to be put onto digital, all the hard copies destroyed, and then we're going to lose the digital copies, aren't we?

* Chris Sims talks Batroc The Leaper.

* finally, Wayne Boring draws Superman.
