Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Robert Ito profiles TOON.

* Justin Colussy-Estes on Troop 142.

* Abhay Khosla adds a couple of thoughts about Multiversity #1 in the course of linking to Joe McCulloch's recent piece on same.

* Kelly L. Mills talks to Anelle Miller. Steve Morris talks to Becky Tinker and Joie Brown. Team Comics Alternative talks to Anya Ulinich.

* not comics: here's a nice article explaining the difference in revenue to movie studios by market. In other words, you should distrust a bit the idea that non-US revenue makes up for domestic losses.

* never seen a scan of this particular piece of original Jack Kirby art before; that's a fun piece in terms of the scene set. I'm also thinking this particular Dave Steven commission is new to my eyes. I've never seen this much Hi & Lois in one place, either. Like most strips through the 1960s, there was a baseline handsome quality to this work that you didn't see later on.

* I am not sure why this Lynda Barry program showed up in my bookmarks, but I'm not going to pretend I'm unhappy about getting to listen to it.

* it's hard not to be charmed by older photos like this one of studiomates posing for a panel of comic book art. One thing that's remarkable about the arts in general is how much an artist or a group of artists will put themselves out there on behalf of something seen for a few seconds. That doesn't mean there aren't a ton of people cheating the process, but certainly not everyone does.

* what is it? what is this mystery art?

* I keep forgetting to drive attention to this very image-heavy article about Comic-Con International 2014, and comic-cons in general, over at Print. I make a tiny cartoon-image appearance.

* finally, some of the words you can look forward to seeing in Fantagraphics' forthcoming Massive.
