Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Paul Karasik reports on the link between Eisner awards and donuts. CR supports all manner of comics-related donut research.

* Marc Maron talks to Tony Millionaire. Phil Hampton talks to Tommy Lee Edwards. Gil Roth talks to Diana Renn and Paul Di Filippo.

* never saw this Jaime Hernandez drawing of Enid Coleslaw before.

* yikes. I would stay far, far away from doing business with that guy.

* missed it: The Cerebus Art Collection has launched. That could end up being interesting; I'm always intrigued by how Dave Sim engages with his audience.

* so Marc Silvestri is going to fund a project on Kickstarter and then give away the content for free. I'm all for people trying out different things, but I really don't think anyone has anything figured out yet, which makes the tone kind of odd to me. I'm not sure why the Age Of Internet is also an era of Bold Proclamations About The Way Everything Is Going To Work Now, but it's certainly turned out that way. Comics has been counter-intuitive given some of those declarations to the point you'd think people in comics would be hesitant to make them. They're fun, though; maybe that has something to do with it.

* here's a piece at Popehat that seems to agree with my general opinion on the Donna Barstow affair that from what little I know about copyrighted material and its use, posting something as an illustration for a discussion of that something pretty much falls under fair use, even if the discussion is strident douchebaggery. Maybe I'm missing something, I don't know.

* finally, it would be fun to serve Jim Lee food.
