Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I can't believe the actual Smurfiversary passed without my realizing it.

image* the publisher Image Comics raised $27K for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) through the publication of its Liberty Comics anthology.

* it's hard not to smile at this Peter Arno anecdote, even if it leaves you shaking your head.

* for some reason, the funniest thing in this article which I imagine will be blogged everywhere is the way they mention that this guy reads a comic book each night before he goes to sleep. I'm not sure exactly why, either. I just sort of like the image of someone entering a room full of comics and selecting one with significant pomp and glee.

* there will be a post day-of as a reminder, but Saturday the sixth of December IDW will have a one-day only warehouse sale with drastic, drastic cuts in order to move product. Fantagraphics did this a couple of times when I worked there. It was actually a fun way to meet a lot of the local comics fans.

* cartoon-related mini-controversy in Southern Utah.

* finally, a not comics story: here's a summary of projects that Dark Horse has in development as films.
