Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Sean Gaffney on Oh My Goddess! Vol. 48.

* Sam Thielman profiles Adrian Tomine.

* not comics: there are a lot of Peter Barbey articles out there right now. The media mogul description I wonder after, but he sounds like he has some money he's willing to spend on the Village Voice and it sounds like he wants to staff according to need as opposed to journalistic or historical tradition. In other words, he's taking it seriously. I don't know how this ends up, but it'd be nice if cartoons were included somewhere in there somehow.

* Clowes by Clowes.

* cartoonists talk about terrible Halloween costumes. For some reason I've always found the cartoonists and comics-makers in my life the worst category of Halloween costume-makers.

* here's a long article about the Aunt Harriet character best known from the Batman TV show as she was portrayed -- barely -- in the comics. I like the idea of the comics-makers just having no use for the plot point, even though that's an assertion more than an argument.

* here's a necessary resource: Rob Kirby's list of alt/indy books and collection by gay men.

* finally, here's what Mark Parisi told the Huffington Post after looking at their contract.
