Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* a heads up to any and all US comics folk working in Canada to maybe call their accountant.

* comics is a mean business.

* here's a nice photo set from a show featuring work by Colin Panetta, Hans Rickheit and Mark Velard.

* this interview with Grant Morrison in Rolling Stone is short enough for a coffee-break read. I imagine people will focus on the critical jabs (Mark Millar, Alan Moore, Chris Ware, The Comics Journal) or the statement that comics is in a death spiral, but the thing that struck me was that he wasn't asked to come on board the Action Comics title until March. Do we take that to mean that DC started planning books in October and didn't approach their #1 writer until five months later? I remain baffled by significant elements of that whole story.

* watch this video or cartoonist Mark Tatulli will club you to death with his giant arms.

* this interview with Lee Lorenz at The Comics Journal is as good as the new on-line iteration of the publication gets, although you'll a dozen coffee breaks to get it all in.

* someone needs to do a Galactus art show.

* Craig Yoe wishes George Herriman a happy birthday.

* congratulations to Joe Wos and the Toonseum on news that they'll be adding a lot more space. Although maybe it's not all paid for yet.

* here's what I think is Lewis Trondheim's offering to the Reprodukt anniversary show.

* not comics: I always like the reports from when Chris Butcher goes to Japan.

* in defense of cruder comics.

* Chris Schweizer shows off some sketches and design work he's doing in advance of his next book. Andi Watson is apparently so hardcore he does thumbnails for his thumbnails.

* I laughed, I cried.

* finally, this is a pretty fun little guessing game. I didn't get them all.
