Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Zaina Akhtar on a number of different comics.

* I am behind on this, but I great enjoyed this process post from Ed Piskor about together his cover for Hip-Hop Family Tree.

* Nick Gillespie talks to Peter Bagge.

* Bob Temuka talks about not using twitter and why. One thing that's interesting about getting older -- I'm talking about me here, not Bob, for all I know Bob is 11 -- is that at some point you stop naturally adopting new technology platforms when they're made available to you. This is actually very similar to the way you stop buying all the comics, even in your specific area of interest. What's fascinating is how easily, thoroughly and matter-of-factly the conversation moves and goes on without you.

* finally, Iestyn Pettigrew passed along a link to these thoughts about cartoonist/essayist Tim Kreider's recent piece on not working for free. I always say with that issue that it's not that I want the idea blasted from the earth, or can't conceive of ways in which that might be something you'll want to do: I just the onus of proving that an experience is worth doing for free would be placed back on the people asking you to do it, rather than on some widely-accepted principle that promises things that may or may not hold true. Working for free should be a remarkable thing, not a common one.
