Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* congratulations to Dean Haspiel on his Emmy win. That's awesome. He writes about it here.

image* missed it: the 20th anniversary of Yves Chaland's passing, which took place about a month ago. If he were still around today, he'd be only 53.

* not comics: I broke my remaining comic books down into 18 boxes, which I'm distributing to random people who wrote in. Thank you everyone for so many nice e-mails. I hope to be back in touch with everyone, but there were a couple hundred of you, so it may take a while. If you wrote me a note that said something like "Hey, I'd like some free comics... but the real reason I wrote is that I built a robotic Captain Easy and we're performing I'm Not Rappaport at the state fair" maybe send me that part of the note again?

* Frank Santoro has more to say about My Love.

* if I had to guess from a list of about 350 cartoonists which one was going to do a week-long tribute to Cathy in their strip, I wouldn't have said Darrin Bell until about attempt #210, which of course makes it that much more interesting.

* this post of new, cartoonist-drawn Penguin Classics covers is nice because you get the central image and the entire design.

* finally, are you having a nice Monday? Colleen Doran will rectify that with word about local municipalities taxing and or charging fees for on-line, comics-related ventures.
