Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Todd Klein on the Convergence: World's Finest series. Libby Hill on Calvin And Hobbes.

* there's a terrific, lengthy, local history post here from the cartoonist Derf Backderf about a public area in Cleveland that may or may not be renamed after the late Harvey Pekar.

* this profile of Joan Cornelia's comics could just be a "go, look" there are so many cartoons in there.

* what Jennifer de Guzman is up to these days.

* I'll make note of this piece of art in the appropriate collective memory, but it's nice enough I wanted to show it off here. We need to invite more cartoonists to visit all of us so that flattering pictures can be drawn.

* John Kovalic praises a gallery opening featuring the work of Steve Sack.

* a link to this Green Leader cartoon has been sent to my inbox four times now, which is a lot in this era of social media over direct engagement. I like the cartoon just fine, although I like the anonymous heroic moments in the various Star Wars movies even better when they happen. It's a reminder the universe doesn't totally pivot on these eight people we've been following around, which is a slightly healthier way to look at war.

* finally, Ron Regé Jr. draws Liszt.
