Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* this really reads like more of a plotline for a not-very-believable Marvel comic book than it does a rational political analysis. It's also weird in that, for instance, the claim that no one saw certain economic bubbles bursting is wholly untenable, to the point where it almost feels like you're acting out to write that. On a potential flip side, I know one Eisner-winning writer who told me with 100 percent certainty that the last president was going to suspend the elections and stay in office into 2009; the difference of course being they didn't write straight-faced editorials about that stuff, and there wasn't a core of nasty racism at its heart.

* Rob Harrell talks about his latest work, Monster On The Hill.

* here's a discussion of Cartooning: Philosophy And Practice, that book from the fine gentleman Ivan Brunetti.

* riding around on buses with Dan Clowes drawings on them would have to be weird.

* Chris Randle on The Strange Tale Of Panorama Island. Jeffrey O. Gustafson on a few epic-type comics, including Saga. Henry Chamberlain on East Of West #5. Johanna Draper Carlson on a slew of DC's digital titles and Doubt Vol. 2. Richard Bruton on The Waste and Playing Out. J. Caleb Mozzocco on a bunch of different comics. James Bacon on Judge Dredd: Day Of Chaos: Endgame. Sean Gaffney on Kitaro.

* Sean Kleefeld puts a book down.

* Steve Rude is teaching art.

* Rob Clough talks to Dash Shaw back in 2008.

* finally, for future reference in terms of comics awards, I sort of like the mid-career/master split that the playwriting award take here.
