Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* fresh eyes department: I watched
The Cartoonist on Sunday with my younger brother, on his best day a casual comics fan. When they showed footage from an OSU signing that Jeff Smith had done a couple of years ago, he exclaimed out loud, "Wow. There are actually kids there."
* I couldn't possibly tell you if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but if the inordinately serious 11-year-old me had ever read a comic book where Wonder Woman's ass is described as her "rumpus mcgoo," I'm pretty sure it would have been the end of my reading them.
*
there's a giant post here by Paul Gravett about the act of reading comics with varying and at time difficult applications of comics craft. This kind of thing is why Paul Gravett was created, as far as I'm concerned.
*
Warren Ellis' Patsy Walker dream.
* not comics: it's nearly always fun to read Evan Dorkin on films he's been watching, and
this time around he discusses the 1937
Artists and Models, which featured guest appearances by cartoonists of the day.
*
Dan Zettwoch channels Will Elder.
* finally, the
Comics Comics guys continue their recent, frenzied posting, with topics ranging from
the relative number of female colorists to the
Origins of the Comics Journal.
