USA Holiday Comics News Round-Up

* the Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs is a true comic book fan. Don't loan him your copy of Amazing Fantasy #15, though; he might just leave it somewhere.

* Andy Donato fought the law, and he won.

* Charles Schulz would have been 87 today.

* I don't take the calls for boycott that lead this article all that seriously. It's probably a late 2011 film and that's a long time for more than a few people at a time to stay mad. Still, it's worth noting for signs of the Herge estate pressing litigation in those countries with less of a firm commitment to the idea of fair use.

* the radio station that hosts the fine Inkstuds program is in the midst of a funding drive.

* it looks like the cartoonist Colleen Doran is offering A Distant Soil pages as an incentive to donate to the upkeep of her site.

* our pal and longtime alt-comics industry mainstay Robert Boyd has two new comics-related reviews up for your reading pleasure: that new Herge biography, and Key Moments From The History Of Comics.

* here's an article on the staggering crisis facing editorial cartooning.

* and here's an article about Stormtrooper tennis shoes.

* I can't tell you how many times in the mid-1990s Gary Groth and Kim Thompson dreamed of someone breaking into the Fantagraphics warehouse and stealing all their t-shirts. One imagines that t-shirts sell differently now than they did then.

* finally, did you know that Sports Illustrated reviewed Bob Levin's novel back when it came out in 1978? I sure didn't.
