Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* E&P on how the Pulitzer Prize has changed lives.

* the writer Dirk Deppey suggests that everyone get back to work and stop freaking out about recent news of shelving limits because no category gets 100 percent of their work on shelves. Did anyone out there suggest that entire categories get 100 percent shelving? Was anyone seriously freaking out? Did anyone come close to suggesting a general flailing of the arms over continued hard work as a smart reaction?

I think that topic worth discussing for a few reasons. First, it came up because it was discussed in a place with the weight and public profile that the presentation of Milton Griepp's white paper offers. Second, it recognizes a concrete change in the status quo for certain companies and certain lines. Third, it represents a potential change in how the industry develops in the months and years ahead. I don't know, it seems like news to me, and simply getting back to work without recognizing the implications of major shifts in circumstance seems like a really bad idea for anyone with investment in seeing their own stuff or the work they like distributed in the marketplace to come.

* the cartoonist Eddie Campbell writes about Bernie Wrightson and Fredric Wertham.
