Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* congratulations to Bryan Talbot on word that he will be receiving an honorary doctorate.

image* the writer and commentator Steven Grant explores how to keep comics fun. It's probably not what you think.

* speaking of institutions of higher learning, this site will come in second to none when it comes to presenting news of the Harvard of the North.

* not comics 01: the very nice and very talented Zak Sally is selling a painting on eBay. It's awfully pretty, and I'm guessing it's a piece of art recognizable to fans of his music, although I'm not certain about that.

* not comics 02: today's must-listen is this Ralph Bakshi podcast remembering the commercial animation studios of his younger working years.

* strange coincidences department: Nick Mullins wrote about the late Martin Vaughn-James' 1975 proto-gn The Cage like three weeks ago.

* someday all of my profiles will be combination interviews, profiles and radio plays like this one with Kevin Cannon.

* I managed to miss that that rave review in New York for David Mazzucchelli's Asterios Polyp came with a slideshow preview.

* the writer and super-popular occasional comics scribe Neil Gaiman is doing a special signing at Comix Experience... for 100 people.

* finally, Brian Heater wants all the alt-comics people who are doing something, exhibiting something and/or selling something in San Diego .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and tell him what that thing might be.
