Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* Richard Thompson discusses what would have been his last Sunday Cul De Sac if it had come together. One thing he mentions about the Sunday that ran as the last one is that it triggered my initial review of Cul De Sac, and I had not remembered that.
* Patrick Smith talks to Jim Rugg. (This is what Jim looked like in 2008.)
* Jim Woodring on Menage A Bughouse. Charles Hatfield on a whole bunch of books he read this summer. It's good to see Charles reviewing. Tim Callahan rips into nearly all of the New 52 books one year later, suggesting a potentially lethal narrative if it gains traction, that this is merely a more amplified version of a half-dozen previous line revamps now more than forgotten.
* Alan Gardner draws attention to an article about Lynn Johnston's philanthropic efforts.
* does anyone know a cartoonist named Michael F. Rasinski? .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
* not comics: I very much enjoyed this Dale Yarger obituary brought to my attention via Facebook. I missed this one first time out, just like the person on Facebook did.
* not comics: if you can get around to it, you might get something out of this video.
* finally, I wanted to drive some attention to this lovely Page 45 window display via a "Go, Look" but they've disabled the easy ability to get an image to do that, so I'll just mention it here. It looks nice.
