image* the New York cartooning collective Pizza Island receives a profile/slideshow in New York. The studio members also have photos and commentaries up on their individual workspaces: Domitille Collardey, Lisa Hanawalt, Meredith Gran, Kate Beaton, Sarah Glidden, Julia Wertz.

* not comics: how seriously did Marvel take their softball in the mid-1970s? Very seriously.

* Bella's Day At The Beach.

* Tom Neely asks you to be careful working with someone with whom he had a very bad experience.
