* glad to hear that the fine writer and great gentleman of comics James Vance survived a harrowing last two years. That guy writes a grocery list and it's in that voice.
* this level of kind words from the famously tough Pat Oliphant is still remarkable 12 years after the fact. I agree with the general sentiment that Richard Thompson was a great cartoonist before Cul De Sac.
* finally, Neda Ulaby profiles Kim Yale, a creator on key issues of Suicide Squad and generally much missed. It can be difficult to recognize key contributors to crossover media properties; this effort is appreciated.
