Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Lisa Benson's redistricting cartoon came under fire for what some felt was a racist message; Benson explains her work here.

image* I'm really burnt out on interviews right now, but this talk with Brandon Graham is pretty swell. Any interview that quickly lays out a couple of humorous stories featuring Moritat is my kind of interview. I worry that we don't have an industry right now that best supports a talent like Graham.

* Poopsheet Foundation reviews The Wolf. Rob Clough reviews Mascots. Chris Allen reviews the first part of TCJ #301. Reviews Godfather R. Fiore reviews that Luc Besson Adele Blanc-Sec movie that never came out in the U.S. so that The Change-Up could have 300 more screens. Todd Klein reviews Dark Rain, a book I'm dying to see as I'm a huge mark for Simon Gane.

* I love when Barry & Leon at Secret Acres do one of their giant, now seemingly monthly posts.

* the artist Becky Cloonan gives an impassioned answer to a question about doing what she does full-time and as a living.

* here's an article type as common as the Local Cartoonist Profile: cartoonists delight in new scandal.

* from the writer Matt Maxwell comes word that Alex Sheikman has devoted some blog space to writing about comics short stories: 1, 2, 3.

* someday we'll get back all the Kirby.

* I would pay full price every evening it was in town for a Chester Brown movie starring Sean T. Collins' choice for Brown in the leading role.

* finally, the great Floyd Gottfredson is profiled.
