* Valerie D'Orazio's a talented writer and significant figure in the recent cultural history of the American comic book industry: she says goodbye to comics in a final chapter here. I wish her the best moving forward, and I'm more than certain a significant number of people join me in that sentiment.
* it's hard for me to imagine there are a lot of values out there in the comics-correspondence realm of things than a course from Tom Hart on creating comics memoirs that costs less than what it would take to buy a drink in a New York City bar.
* I missed announcing the opening, but I can't imagine a Cyril Pedrosa show would be anything short of a fun, fun night at a gallery.
* finally, I enjoy my friend Gil Roth's literary podcast Virtual Memories and was excited to see that the Scott McCloud talk he and the author had Sunday evening of SPX weekend has already been scheduled.
