Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* if you're going to read one article today, make it Ryan Holmberg's on the early days of Garo. If you're going to look at just one comic, make it this Jim Sasseville Peanuts piece.

* these Sean Murphy Dr. Strange sketches Neilalien spotlights here are kind of cool-looking.

* not comics: I should know better than to ever guess about movie box office results now that I no longer pay close attention to movies in that way, but I'll admit to being certain from the number of commercials I was seeing for the thing that Kick-Ass would easily make twice its opening three-day salvo.

* so apparently no one at DC ever drank beer from a keg?

* what are you reading?

* hey, a report on one of the other shows taking place over the weekend and one of two taking place in a city called Athens: FLUKE. Good news: the show seems like it was really busy.

* the scheduling for the Stumptown show is up now. Spotlights on James Sturm, Graham Annable and Craig Thompson, plus at least one panel where all the panelist happen to be female that's not about being a female -- it all sounds good to me. Wish I were going.

* Michael Cavna has a nice write-up on this year's Herblock Prize, given out at a fancy dinner.

* finally, Xaviar Xerexes reminds that Harvey nominations ballots are due this Friday. On the one hand, I'm not sure there should really be a Harvey right now and that energy couldn't be better spent on a more focused remembrance of the great Harvey Kurtzman. On the other hand, I'm not sure there's anything that consistently pays off as much as voting in the Harveys' nomination round and getting your friends to do the same.
