Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the UK press is taking turns today beating on convicted child murderer, pedophile and former comics dealer Ronald Castree.

* in a recent interview Aaron McGruder dashes all recent talk of coming back to a daily newspaper strip, and hampers most talk about his coming back to print Sundays-only. On the other hand, he reiterates a notion that has come up a few times that an on-line strip could be in the offing.

* one thing I missed in the retailer/crime coverage yesterday. Michael George isn't seeking bail as most of us understand it as a shift to a house arrest, that house being his mom's.

* Gunther Bumpus, RIP

* I sort of missed the E&P story on the Houston Chronicle dropping a comics page. That story notes another reason this news is more depressing than usual: the Chronicle may have been running more comics than anyone. It also describes the Chronicle's criteria a bit.

* this message board thread is soaked with speculation that DC Comics shut down a fan site and reasons why this might have been done. It's interesting as a snapshot of a certain fan mindset even if none of the suggest details are true.
