Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* recently bought-out editorial cartoonist Chip Bok will stay at the Akron Beacon Journal through the election.

* the author Steven Heller reviews the new Breakdowns volume.

* the cartoonist and animator John K offers up a lovely tribute to the skill of Owen Fitzgerald by drawing a long comparison between his work and that of Dan DeCarlo.

* the popular newspaper strips cartoonist Patrick McDonnell comes out in favor of California's Proposition 2.

* the writer and critic Richard Gehr has a nice write-up on Lynda Barry and Matt Groening presenting during the New Yorker's recent annual festival and on Barry in general, including the number of papers still carrying her comics (three) and the fact that she burst into tears in front of Jeff Keane.

* the cartoonist and current AAEC president Ted Rall notes the changes made in the print edition of the New York Times, one would assume to keep up with these paper-shrinking, staff-cutting times.

* the cartoonist Dan Piraro has informed people on his e-mail list that their e-mails on his behalf has seen his comic returned to the Dallas Morning News. It has changed formats from panel to strip. I didn't even know Bizarro was offered in both formats.

* I love the picture of cartoonists holding up images from their comics about halfway down this article.

* Newsarama profiles an Edmonton store that offers its customer arrangements to go to Comic-Con International in San Diego. This is the kind of thing that makes no sense and perfect sense, all at the same time. But it's nice, either way you look at it.

* if I simply re-published it there'd be no reason for you to click the link: best Alan Moore photo ever.

* finally, Jason's 20 Things Every Superhero Comic Collection Needs. I think I scored better on this list than I did on my own.
