Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* why are you here instead of looking at this?

* the cartoonist Evan Dorkin deserves his reputation as a word and concepts guy, but I sure like the way he drew this dog in a panel from one of his gag strips.

* not comics 01: here's an article about not fighting the revolution in art and culture that comes with recent technological innovation and instead re-focusing that energy on puzzling through the implications.

* everything is comics.

* not comics 02: here's another big-time paper that cut the crap out of its newsroom and now is being asked to do it again.

* great, fun post by Daryl Cagle on his experience visiting Algiers.

* not comics 03: why should we wait around waiting for books to go away when we could price them out of existence by Christmas?

* this semi-longish interview with veteran comic book illustrator Steve Lieber is frequently funny and provides a lot of working-artist details that most interviews don't get into.

* not comics 04: I have a hard time enjoying even well-meaning articles about print dying like this one because the standards they use are so bizarre -- people willing to go to conferences, books on paper meaning the same thing as writing generally when maybe they're not interchangeable -- and yet so ill-defined that I'm not sure what they feel is in danger of extinction except everything staying the exact way it is right now or going back to some idealized past. I used to think only comics people were so invested in the exact shape and form of an industry as it exists at any one moment in time, but I'm reconsidering that position.

* finally, because Tom Devlin is a kind man, he's posted one more Judy Junior story before getting back to work. Thank you, Tom.
