Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I pointed out this Liza Donnelly image for Gil Roth talking to Peter Arno biographer Michael Maslin several days ago. The interview has since been put up.

image* Rob Clough on Fantasy Sports No. 2.

* when I was a kid, these prints were everywhere: the American Midwest had an orientalist fetish from the mid-1950s into the mid-1970s for sure.

* by request extra: an angel or two would seem necessary here.

* not exactly sure why the link is still in my active bookmarking section, but these four summer comics by Vanessa Davis were pretty great and I recommend you read them.

* also not sure why I re-bookmarked this photo of a Linework NW dinner from 2015. That was a good dinner. I'm not taking the photo -- the waitress is -- but I was in attendance until my flight time encroached and I had to cab away. A lot of people at SPX talked about and told stories featuring Alvin Buenaventura, I though, to a surprising degree. That's Souther Salazar on the right, foregrounded.

* finally, this article on drawings being added to non-artistic realistic settings seems poised to take a place next to the Local Cartoonist Profile as a time-honored trope-driven general piece about comics.
