Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* I appreciate this Borys Kit profile of longtime X-Men writer Chris Claremont for recognizing the comics context in which he works and not feeling he had to justify his place in that context. Also: a John Belushi story.

* this story of a Chinese dissident cartoonist revealing their identity to the BBC intrigues. The suppression and general haranguing of cartoonists in multiple Asian markets over the last decade is one of the crucial, slow-burning stories.

* go, look: here's AJ Dungo at TCJ's great Cartoonist Diary feature.

* finally: Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal has been talking sabbatical and/or retirement. I'll look at more of these reports and write a little more for this week's Bundled post.
