Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the cartoonist and illustrator Rina Piccolo talks about money and syndicated comics -- comics generally, really. Here and here. Piccolo always comes across as very forthright and honest in these kinds of posts.

* the cartoonist Geoff Grogan talks about doing comics that may not really be comics, and shows off some pages.

* that Artists Help Japan: Toronto effort raised $20K for Japanese quake and tsunami relief. Stan Lee has signed on to write a foreword to a quake/tsunami benefit comic from Red Giant Entertainment.

* this post is the first I've heard about Mimi Pond's work since the announcement of it landing at Dark Horse last summer.

* not comics: depending on one's personal pop culture DNA, this is either the most interesting photo of the year or the least.

* if you're looking forward to the annual Easter-evening reading of comics at a bar in New York City, let this stand as another reminder that this year's version is a benefit for the Sequential Artists Workshop and will be co-hosted by that institution's co-founder Tom Hart.

* this sounds promising: Roy Freeman discusses his father, the great and nearly-forgotten cartoonist Don Freeman.

* here's a long analysis of Nightmare Alley: the book, the film with Tyrone Power, and the graphic novel from a few years back by Spain Rodriguez.

* these cartoon diaries from Pascal Girard continue to be funny. Who among us hasn't crotch-hugged a highly-regarded cartoonist? And here's the last one, with a different tone.

* finally, there's a photo in this Stumptown report where a glass of red wine sits on a table with original comics art that's sort of terrifying. The report isn't terrifying, it's just pretty good.
