Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* many people wrote in with news that the government had a job posting for a kind of public speaker/cartoonist; here's the story about that position being killed before it's filled. It has proper nouns like it's a real news story, but I'm not so sure about the verbs.

* a look at how graphic novels are working for a trio of middle-school educators.

* oh, Mike. Mike, Mike, Mike.... 1) That thing looks like it should cost $14. 2) $250 would get you The Complete Humbug, the four Moomin volumes, Kramers Ergot Vol. 7, Asterios Polyp, The Hunter and Robert Crumb's Book Of Genesis.

* I love that these two paragraphs get smushed together.

* writers

* finally, the comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com has more from Wizard Entertainment's Gareb Shamus on trying to take on Reed's debut Chicago Con by reviving a con in an area they were all too happy to leave in suspended animation earlier this year. I don't have any idea what Shamus is talking about when he talks about Wizard taking on well-funded companies in direct competition before now. Mostly Wizard has just left the field when challenged (abandoning Atlanta; never aggressively going after San Diego's date or region + dates).
