Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the heck with Con War -- we have Cartoon War.

image* I forgot to link to this fun post by Dash Shaw where he suggests a tactic for comics education regarding house styles, probably because I was staring at the cool panel right in the text featuring a brontosaurus. Much chaos in the comments section.

* there's a massive post here by Craig Fischer using Osamu Tezuka as a springboard to discuss about ten films and cartoonists I like, although I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Sure looks intimidating, though.

* this post on various Con War updates pretty much examines the fighting foxhole to foxhole. It's sort of demented, really. In a good way.

* Johanna Draper Carlson's note telling people to stop sending her mobile-version-of-comic PR cracked me up. I'm less certain than Johanna that this isn't news anymore, but only because I couldn't ever tell when it was news.

* the great Paul Gravett takes in Busted Jesus Comix, the play based on the Mike Diana trial.

* finally, Sean T. Collins transcribed the Small Press Expo's Critics Roundtable from September. That was awfully nice of him. For one thing, I found out I've always said Chris Mautner's name wrong.
