Links I Couldn’t Place Anywhere Else

* the Washington Post profiles Peter Bagge's work at Reason.

* the cartoonist Ethan Persoff puts a 1970 anti-drug comic on-line, continuing his series of similarly odd comics postings.

* the French National Library's archival efforts have resulted in some very old magazine cartoons being placed on-line.

* as if in answer to a very odd and specifically-phrased prayer, a sub-site at Nickelodeon features nothing but all-ages Johnny Ryan gags.

* today's kids are reading Maus in preparation for the upcoming school year. When I was 18 years old, all the university gave me to read before I got there was a ten thousand page catalog telling me the various ways I wasn't going to be able to sue them. Art Spiegelman's work being used by a college campus made news a while back when his politically charged In the Shadow of No Towers was placed into a similar role.
