Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* The Daily Cross Hatchhas up a nice, short interview with Jonathan Rosenberg, following up on the Goats cartoonist's announcement he'd be re-thinking his comics career.
* Frank Santoro remembers having Bill Watterson around on Sundays.
* we used to have a policy at The Comics Journal in the mid-1990s to be really careful with interviews, because it was a way-too-easy way to do things that should be hard. I'm reminded of that policy these days the more I read these roundtables that seem to be popping up everywhere. The positive is that if I distrust them, they're probably super-popular. And that I'll probably soon be doing my own.
* not comics: I watched some of the original three Star Wars movies over the weekend while cooking and cleaning house. I like that Princess Leia and Darth Vader are the only characters to kill people with their bare hands in those movies, although maybe I'm forgetting someone. Watching an enraged, 85-pound Leia choke out a 900-pound muppet makes me think that if Luke failed and the dead Jedis had turned their attention to the Princess as a last hope she would have flipped to the Dark Side in like 85 seconds.
