As the Comics Reporter<\/a>..er..reports, Matt Groening<\/b> has a new comic out, Will and Abe’s Guide to the Universe<\/i>. * “Charles Addams by way of The Far Side”<\/i><\/a> sounds good to me: Rob Sato’s<\/b> Burying Sandwiches<\/i><\/a>. * Silver Bullet Comicbooks<\/a> talk to Ren \u00e9e French<\/b>: “Since I’ve always loved to look at drawings under a magnifier, I thought it would be cool and liberating, to do TEEEENY drawings and blow them up for the web<\/a>. That forced me to draw with less detail too and not get too obsessive. So the originals are around a centimeter square. I don’t think I would have ever come up with that idea for a book in print<\/a>. In the small, perfect bound format it makes sense though.”<\/i> * The Toronto Sun<\/a> talk to Cancer Vixen<\/i> Marisa Acocella Marchetto<\/a>: “Well, it looks like the book’s going the movie route. Cate Blanchett’s being chosen to play me. Imagine that!”<\/i> * R. Kikuo Johnson<\/a> of Night Fisher<\/i> fame is named one of the twentieth brightest design stars by Print<\/a> magazine {via Journalista<\/a>} * Are superhero comics in decline<\/a>? Maybe, Evan Henerson<\/a> looks at the serious side to comics: “While people 25 and older aren’t the only ones reading and collecting comic books, it’s the Gen X-ers who possess both the nostalgia for the heroes and villains of their youth, and the disposable income to feed the still-existing mania.”<\/i> * Paul Gravett<\/a> offers up his November 2006 interview with Alan Moore<\/b> to coincide with the release of the DVD The Mindscape of Alan Moore<\/a>: “One of the reasons why I don’t leave Northampton is that the people here don’t treat me like a celebrity, because they’re used to me. I’ve been here for years, I’m just that bloke with long hair.”<\/i> See also, Alan Moore recommends<\/a>, Alan Moore vs Brian Eno<\/a> and Arcade: too avant garde for the Mafia?<\/a> on Read Yourself RAW<\/a>. * Men don’t kill women, manga does<\/a>. * Richard Pulfer on the top 10 accidental comic book discoveries<\/a>. * An interview<\/a> with King-Cat<\/a><\/i> John Porcellino<\/b>: “I started doing King-Cat in ’89, when I was 20. That was 18 years ago, and I am a very different person. I was really afraid that the early work would seem too long ago, and, in some ways, it was hard to reconcile who I was then with who I am now. I was surprised looking back at how spontaneous the work was. It was like a diary for me. I would go out and live my life and come home in the evening and make a comic. I never went back and tried to tinker with it. In my current work, there is more reflection between the event and the telling of it. I edit myself a lot more about what I want to say and how I want to say it. It is more like a memoir.<\/i> * Josh Neufeld<\/b> illustrates Nick Flynn’s Father Outside<\/i><\/a> poem. * Tom Gauld<\/a> joins Chris Ware<\/b>, Frank Miller<\/b>, Anders Nilsen<\/b> and Seth<\/b> in designing a comic-style cover for the Penguin<\/a> Classics<\/a> range<\/a>. He takes on Alexander Dumas’ The Three Musketeers<\/i>. * To celebrate 10 years, Top Shelf Comix<\/a> are having a massive sale. * Not comics: A time lapse video<\/a> of a Tim Biskup mural.<\/p>\n
