Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* this cartoon from Laura Park made me smile.

image* Richard Bruton on Space Dumplins. Rob Clough on comics by Glynnis Fawkes. Todd Klein on Green Lantern: Lost Army #3. Sean Gaffney on The Devil Is A Part-Timer! Vol. 2.

* not comics 01: this article on heroism from someone that taught alternatives visions of heroism at West Point may have some material in there for those wishing to created or understand heroic literature in comics. Having just recently celebrated Kirby Day, I'm always reminded how the Fourth World gained some emotional resonance, by switching the players around on this particular field of meaning.

* not comics 02: I would imagine this Sean T. Collins interview with Tod Campbell about shooting the TV show Mr. Robot might have something to say to comics-makers about faces and framing within panels.

* Drew Friedman's post about visiting the MDA Labor Day telethon as a guest of Jerry Lewis comes to mind this time of year for obvious reasons. I think it's one of the great cartoonist blog posts ever.

* finally, Todd Klein recalls a lettering gig where the design was intended to convey a largely forgotten way of presenting work.
