Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Chris Kuzman steps into the "A Cartoonist's Diary" spotlight over at TCJ.com. That's a swell feature.

* the primary discussion about kids in camps should be 99.999 percent about getting these kids the fuck out of those camps, but part of the rest of it might be a discussion of the new George Takei inspired and co-created comics work regarding his own childhood experience regarding internment camps. The material could illuminate the historical tendencies involved; it's also a publishing quandary as to how you make use of a news story without crossing over into exploiting it. Those kids have enough of a burden already.

* here's a little tribute I wrote about the comic-book format, occasioned by the Pickle #11 "lost issue."

* Hillary Brown talks to Ezra Claytan Daniels and Ben Passmore.

* by request extra: that nice man and interesting cartoonist Carl Antonowicz has expressed an interest in getting his Patreon over that first $100/month milestone that a lot of cartoonists seek. You could check him out and see if what he's up to is up your alley.
