Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* this Canadian reader notes that Marvel has reduced their Canadian prices to $.06 over the US prices, while DC still boasts a much larger margin. If anything, the difference should favor Canadians right now.

* Chris Butcher points out that it took less than a single day for a creator to express disappointment with the Zuda Comics editorial process.

* You used to see a lot more of this type of article, an urge that's probably been subsumed into more sustained, issue-by-issue blogging: the general outlook for and feelings experienced by pursuing a career in an aspect of comics. In this case, it's gag cartooning, and the writer is Mike Lynch, but a lot of cartoonists and writers should recognize at least a portion of what Lynch is saying.

* Frenchy Lunny of Mechademia has won a fellowship from the Fulbright program to go to Japan and study the transnational elements of manga.

* I hate to say it, but one of the first thoughts I had when Marvel had a fine 3Q report was that this was so going to make the day of the folks at Motley Fool who love Marvel with a purity that shames any love I've experienced in my life time.

* Marvel recalls 110,000 Curious George toys. Is this new? I can't tell.
