Some More Random Notes On A Friday Morning

* I liked this brief post on San Diego con badges, mostly for the old San Diego con badges.

image* bunches of people arriving in Toronto today for this weekend's TCAF show. I'll be running a few comics publishing news stories this weekend -- the first one ran top of blog yesterday -- but I don't know that I'll do one of those full festival preview things telling you to go to certain parties or whatnot. Hopefully you'll keep an eye out for books like Theo Ellsworth's new Capacity above, maybe go to the Los Bros thing tonight I'm moderating/helping host and maybe go to the Doug Wright Awards tomorrow -- all stuff you can access from the TCAF site. Other than that, shop around, see a panel (I'll be at the blogging wake Sunday morning) and enjoy Toronto. I'll have a report and a Collective Memory up by early next week. Travel safely.

* Peanuts by Shultz.

* the Short Run show has a video now.

* like many folks, I enjoyed this Paul Pope Q&A when it came out several days ago. I just kept it a secret.

* this is Dave Lapp's contribution to the TCAF art show.

* not comics: astonishing to me that noted fantasy fan Dylan Horrocks has taken this long to read Little, Big. That fantasy prose fans seem to have never read that book baffles; it's a top three work of that kind.

* not comics: Abhay Khosla writes about the idea that if you build it they will come and tell you how awesome you are.

* Jonathan Baylis sent along links to previews like this one for work he'll have available at this weekend's TCAF.

* TCAF from an indy publisher's perspective.

* finally, speaking of Horrocks, I enjoyed this superhero picture he drew.
