Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Michael Cavna takes a a look at some of the Representative Weiner editorial cartoons. Cavna is a brave, brave man.

image* these were the last Charltons. Hooray for the Internet, because that's an interesting bunch of covers and that's not a question I would have ever thought to ask.

* the DC revolution will apparently not include The Dude.

* Brian Hibbs and Team Savage Critics are going to look at one of the obvious Books Of 2011, Paying For It.

* the Fantagraphics blog has always featured strong, consistent content for a publishing site. This may be the best "Things To See" round-up they've ever done.

* Deb Aoki discusses a preview of the new CLAMP manga.

* a couple of notes related to the processing of comics: David Brothers writes about reviewing a comic at one of those moments when you're involved with something related to one of the themes of the comic, while Bob Temuka writes about firing through a bunch of comics at once.

* Gavok at 4thletter! suggests that part of DC's poor relationship with Alan Moore may be seeking to undo major narrative developments to the wider DC Universe that were written by Moore.

* not comics: I think this is Editor & Publisher's re-launch.

* Ryan Sands kicks in with what has to be this year's final TCAF report -- at least the last one not written by one of the organizers, which I don't think we've seen yet -- and it's a doozy, with a different orientation than most of those I've read.

* Julia Wertz makes me laugh.

* this has to be Tim Kreider's favorite strip.

* finally, Archie's Kevin Keller comic is previewed here. They've put a lot of force and energy into promoting that work, although with a company like Archie that kind of coverage doesn't need to lead to sales in the short-term.
