Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* former Marvel staffer Aubrey Sitterson makes his presence felt at WWE.

image* I was only barely aware of this Harvey Kurtzman newspaper strip. It's been a pretty good week for learning about comics on which you might not be totally informed, as with this piece on three great editorial cartoonists, and this article about cartooning in Nicaragua. I also wasn't fully aware of Jeanie.

* a sneak preview of Little Baby Dicebox Stumptown.

* actor and geek culture commentator Wil Wheaton isn't going to CCI, and you can blame the 2008 Tokyopop Purge. Speaking of which, here's a bunch of links I hadn't seen in one place, and in most cases not at all.

* finally, the retailer and writer Chris Butcher uses a fresh example to say why he doesn't like Diamond exclusives: Diamond is too quick to say that something is sold out when it isn't. In fact, the quickness of it isn't the problem as much as the saying something is sold out when something is available part.
