Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the writer Todd Allen gets the "You Clever Man" award for today by using an on-line professional business tool to identify Marvel's digital development team.

* regarding the events of Tuesday I really liked the Toles cartoon and a couple of others I saw, but I suspect Anne Ishii's right in that this one takes the prize. (It's by Patrick Moberg.)

* the cartoonist and industry advocate Lea Hernandez is taking commissions in order to help her family through some car-related difficulties.

* the comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com has another of their patented industry figure interviews up, this time with Marvel's Dan Buckley: one, two, three. You can read some of them for actual news and all of them to see what the company bigwigs emphasize and what they downplay. Topics include Marvel's digital initiatives, its bookstore/DM store mix, and the recession.

* "The Satanic Verses author owns oil paintings of Spider-Man and Wolverine, signed by Stan Lee."

* the newspaper industry bible Editor & Publisher notes that a slowdown in increasing local on-line ad revenue has been predicted for 2009. This is bad news because many newspapers are counting on harvesting more on-line local ad revenue as they move more of their operations on-line.
