Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* couldn't be happier that mainstream US comic books turned out to be weird enough to sustain what-the-fuck articles like this one a quarter century after they became a staple of a lot of our Internet diet.

* the backers of this particular crowd-funding campaign are a bit more aggressive than usual. I'm not sitting around wanting more Marx Brothers in a way that makes me think a project like this will facilitate it, but I do have an interest in modern performers working time-worn characters as formula.

* festivals extra: here's a quick snapshot of the South Carolina comics scene. No one ever talks about South Carolina. It's our most mysterious state.

* finally, a bit of not-comics: the instability of game developing may provide some clues as to how models develop for comic-book cartoonists. Or not. It's sort of depressing either way, though.
