Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Gary Groth is up for a Stranger genius award. I want Gary to win every award for which he's eligible. It's also a huge boon for all of comics over the next 40 years when the 20th Century comics publishers are recognized as important to the communities in which they're based.

image* Allen Salkin talks to Meghan Turbitt.

* here is where you can find information on how to get a copy of Complete Cul De Sac signed by Richard Thompson or items with some of his musician drawings on them.

* John Kane on a bunch of different comics.

* not comics: always a sad day for those of who grew up around newspapers.

* is Tong transgender?

* not comics: one of the things that worries me about institutions that pay younger people nothing or less than they can afford to pay is that a lot of the newer people coming into the field are women, and I'd hate to see women doing the bulk of the free work out available out there given the traditional pay gap problems we've seen in other industries.

* finally, if you have yet to see Billy Ireland's Caitlin McGurk work with a dumb local television reporter person, make some time.
