Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* one of the nation's highest-profile editorial cartoonists, Signe Wilkinson, will launch a daily strip with United Media on January 7 -- some people consider the early January launch the big one for syndicates. Wilkinson discusses her Family Tree with Editor and Publisher.

* Jeff Parker gives notes on writing for artists: part one, part two.

* I suppose that a nice thing about the television show Heroes is that you finally understand what you sounded like to your friends if you ever talked to them about superhero comics.

* did I somehow miss news that The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie and Ellen Forney won the National Book Award for their division? I guess if I didn't, it's nice enough to repeat. (via Toon Books)

* a comics and cartoon museum is due to open in Holon next month, and Shmuel Katz will win its first award. I don't know Katz, and can't find an image of his caricatures or cartoons, but this is nice-looking.

* the comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com notes that longtime managing editor Victor Gorelick moves into the late Richard Goldwater's Editor-in-Chief chair at Archie; Mike Pellerito will take Gorelick's old job.
