Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the critic Johanna Draper Carlson reminds us that there's only one week left to vote in this year's Harvey Awards.

* the cartoonist Frank Santoro shows off some Steve Rude ink-roughs he bought at San Diego, and suggests that Rude might want to do a whole comic that way at some point in the future.

* this may be the creepiest photo ever or the most adorable. Okay, it's really not creepy at all, but I just sat here for seven minutes trying to figure out an Alexandre Dumas joke and it wasn't happening.

* here's some flickr postings of Calvin and Jobs from I think Mad. My friend Mark did this joke in high school with Roy Hobbs, the protagonist of the Robert Redford film (and Malamud book) The Natural.

* this article explores the connection between Rene Goscinny and the recently passed-away Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. It's a family connection, and sort of interesting, even if the final line of "we would like to imagine this meeting" may make you want to punch someone in the face.

* if you ever want to see what the newer, non-plaque Eisner Awards look like, the cartoonist Nick Abadzis has a good photo in a short blog posting about his unexpected but welcome win.

* finally, I found this article on the funeral of Fujio Akatsuka interesting, if only that I can't imagine too many cartoonists, if any, living in the US that would garner a similar reaction.
