Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Sean Gaffney on Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, Vol. 2.

* Johanna Draper Carlson, the best of the old guard when it comes to conceiving of comics stories as consumer's issues, takes a look at the recent Amazon.com crackdown on poor review practices.

* not comics: it'd be fun to get to the day where we got juiced over Hall Of Fame selections and what they meant, but the standards involved here are basically corporate buzzwords which is the least elegant way of thinking about anyone's creative career.

* Neil Gaiman talks about being bullied when you're a kid, and how the differences for which you are bullied at a younger age become the things special about you that you turn into a life and career. I think these factors or something very close to them are collectively a true thing for a lot of people growing up, and I can only wish for that much grief and pain to stop.

* Peter Tonguette reviews the very good new exhibitions up at the Billy Ireland.

* someone must have re-posted this Spike Trotman 24-Hour Comic about making comics, because I'm getting people sending me links as if it were brand new.

* finally, the great Kate Beaton has provided a digital dress-up doll to TCAF for its promotional/having fun efforts.
