Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* our congratulations and best wishes for a healthy next several months to Jennifer de Guzman.

* apparently, the trade paperback know in the lead-up to its publication as "Marvel Bromance" is no longer being released with anything like that name, formally or informally. Chris Butcher raises an eyebrow.

* it's like Eddie Campbell was born to blog things just for me.

* the cartoonist and Mike Lynch discusses his recent teaching of comics classes to kids.

* celebrate the magic of Woodstock by reading graphic novels -- not as muddy, and the photographic evidence is less likely to make you cringe in future years. I may kid articles like these that hook comics content into news articles, but I also checked Alex Robinson's blog this morning to see if the Too Cool To Be Forgotten author had written anything about the late John Hughes. Plus it occurs to me I'd pay $125 for a comics biography of Sha Na Na by Rick Altergott. Why am I not running a comics imprint for a major publishing house again?

* speaking of Hughes, this is cute. Please God no one draw them dancing. Also, John Kapelos would make an interesting Alfred.

* wasn't there a less-stereotyped Muslim character in the Captain Britain and the UK Super-Friends thing that Paul Cornell wrote?

* I want to do something in my life just once the way Jaime Hernandez draws all the damn time.

* a cartoon print by Lalo Alcaraz has been a part of some of the coverage of the Senate confirmation of new Supreme Court member Sonia Sotomayor.

* finally, the writer Jeet Heer is a fine comics linkblogger, too, and I would like to ask him that he stop doing it immediately so as not to show me up. Go back to writing your extremely insightful, high-profile, historical essays, Heer.
