Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Chris Butcher writes what I think is a near pitch-perfect piece about why he regrets seeing the print Shonen Jump go. Something I haven't seen a lot of people talk about is if comics go on-line is whether this limits the readership to those who can afford the machines on which they can be viewed.

* I'm not much of an original art buyer, but it seems to me that the buy it now option on these P. Craig Russell Batman pages yields some art at really, really affordable prices.

* Stephan Pastis tells us something about Alice Otterloop most have likely long expected.

* Chris Randle on The Great Northern Brotherhood Of Canadian Cartoonists. Mark Medley on Daybreak. Sharayah Read on Chew #21. Johanna Draper Carlson on the DC Super-Pets line, Love Hina Omnibus Vol. 1, The Meaning Of Life And Other Stuff and various other comics. J. Caleb Mozzocco on Action Comics Weekly #610 and a selection of kids' books. John Kane on Avengers 1959 #1. Greg McElhatton on Three #2. Don MacPherson on Action Comics #2. Rob Clough on Fugue #1-2 and Grump Toast. Katherine Dacey on X.

* I'd like to more strongly recommend this post with images of Mort Meskin pencils, because I don't think I've seen a lot of that artist's pencil work, but they're scanned in at a really, really small size.

* Cyriaque Lamar talks to Jeff Lemire. Jen Vaughn talks to Beth Hetland. Tasha Robinson talks to Kate Beaton. Tim O'Shea talks to Andrew Foley.

* Andrea Queirolo contrasts the art styles employed by Ludovic Debeurme in the books Lucille and Renée.

* not comics: Mike Sterling may have uncovered the all-time greatest superhero tie-in piece of merchandising.

* not comics: Mark Evanier answers something I was wondering: who won this year's Comic-Con Icon Award at the Scream ceremony thrown by Spike TV? It was June Foray.

* finally, Charles Hatfield explores the 21st century alternative/independent comics landscape in two parts.
