Three More Random Links Linked-To Randomly

A few more of the random-type comics links presented themselves early today in a way that might make them a bit strange were they to be held until Monday.

* a bunch of you have been sending me links to this Graphic Novel Reading Rainbow site. It holds thorough reviews of the "pick up a book and work one's way through it" type, organized around a class project.

* Dustin Harbin is the beneficiary of a classic "Local Cartoonist Profile" article from the Charlotte Observer, tied into the forthcoming release of a third and final Diary Comics project. I love the Local Cartoonist Profile, and before comics-related news surged a few years back such articles made up maybe 10 percent of comics-related stuff you'd see as mainstream coverage.

* here's a piece about Chuck Ayers of Funky Winkerbean and Crankshaft coming into contact with a Funky Winkerbean mural going up at Kent State. I like that one because I always feel it's difficult to gauge how many fans something like a long-running comic strip has, and how fervent they are. This is Ayers' 25th year of work on Funky.
