Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* in the tradition of those classic EC covers featuring Zombie Dick Nixon. Please, seriously, stop.

* the cartoonists Rina Ayuyang and Thien Pham have launched a podcast, The Comix Claptrap. First interview: Vanessa Davis.

* this article is all over the place, but the quotes make it worth a read if you're a close watcher of the editorial cartoonist profession.

* the prominent blogger Dick Hyacinth notes the dissolution of the creative partnership behind Aqua Leung: Mark Andrew Smith and Paul Maybury. This kind of thing happens in comics more than you'd think, although usually not to this degree as financial rewards of graphic novel creation are rarely enough to keep creators working together if the relationship turns even slightly sour. In other words, someone usually bails long before it gets to this stage.

* not comics: here's an article about liability insurance for bloggers. My personal strategy is to inform you that by clicking on this site you have agreed a) never to sue me, and b) if ever I ask for one at any time in the future, you have to provide me with a cookie. My lawyer insisted on that last item.

* finally, I enjoyed this interview with Kuo-Yu Liang, one of the more important comics industry people as the vice-president of sales and marketing at Diamond Book Distribution.
