Random Comics News Story Round-Up * Greg Hunter talks to Trungles. Kurt Anthony Krug profiles Arvell Jones. This older R Crumb profile focused on mundane artistic habits flashed back into my Facebook feed for some reason.
* this weekend I attended some events at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum revolving around the new exhibit figuring the works of Mike Peters that are in the museum's holdings. Peters is an extremely funny, life-positive man and like the best of the modern TV comedians you get a sense that there's a decent person operating underneath the outsized personality. So watching him run around and tell naughty stories and kiss people was great after a long week of worry and sadness. It was good to see people brighten up. The thing that struck me the most was the good chunk of Peters' professional peers that came in for the launch and presentation. I hope if I'm lucky to live long enough and things go well enough I continue to see my friends and same-age peers similarly honored I can make those kinds of trips of support.
