Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the writer Bob Andelman interviews David Michaelis of Schulz and Peanuts, revealing among other things that Michaelis experienced the writing of the book as a slow build rather than having one of those "a-ha!" moments where everything falls into place.

* folks have been passing around links to this post from The Hero Initiative that features a recent success story for the fund that aids older and in-need comics folk, and a post by Tom Beland about the joys of being able to help.

* the cartoonist Matt Madden recently posted an adorable story about tutoring through comics.

* no one was hurt when a car smashed through a wall at DC Thomson last week, the third such incident regarding comics companies and cars smashing into them in recent memory, after SLG and Oni Press. I can only conclude that we are seeing the first public incidents of a long-simmering automobiles vs. funnybooks war.

* Gerry Alanguilan brings word that a key figure in a recent revival of comics in the Philippines, Martin Cadlum of Sterling Comics, has resigned his position, with his responsibilities to be taken up by two remaining staffers. Alanguilan also points out why no one should worry greatly about this.
