Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* everyone who has read his work has suspected Jim Woodring is a genius, and those lucky enough to meet him have had this confirmed. Now it's official, with the great cartoonist and artist receiving a Stranger Genius Award in literature. Like the best awards, it comes with a cash prize, which I'm sure will be put to fascinating use.

* I suspect that most of D+Q is on vacation, but they're still posting some nice content, including these beautiful photos of Doug Wright's studio.

* not comics: a lot of things irk me about this story, starting with the fact that a $27K-$30K starting salary for someone college-aged isn't all that horrible of a thing. There are people in comics who would kill to average that over their entire career. Also, I know a lot of experienced journalists who would take a job at that pay level right now.

* good for them. Plus, they'll be able to buy a boat when they sell story rights.

* there's always a good 20 minutes to be had when Steven Grant's foundational on-line comics column Permanent Damage makes one of its intermittent returns.

* finally, via Sean T. Collins comes Brian Ralph putting together what looks like a Daybreak book cover.
