- So has For Better or For Worse now transmuted into an endless series of flashback episodes? Come on, Ms. Johnston, surely you can continue to defy the “comic book characters don’t age” stereotype! I cry foul!
- Andrew O’Hagan recounts his experience contending with Grass and Mailer.
- It appears that J.G. Ballard’s next book is a memoir.
- Stephen Crane’s last weeks.
- Is Pete Hamill getting ripped off?
- Why should David Cronenberg “belong” anywhere? Is it just possible that some artists are unclassifiable?
- Mr. Orthofer quite rightly points out TNR‘s inadequacies.
- Google plans to start charging for online books. What, you really thought they intended the information to be free?
- JCO interviewed quite well. (via Jenny D)
- Apparently, Rick Kleffel is now podcasting five days a week. For how long, I don’t know. But I hope he keeps up his stamina. It’s arduous enough doing two or three of these a week.
FBOFW was going to be *all* flashback starting this month…but then, Lynn Johnston’s husband left her and apparently she’s now got more time on her hands. More info here: http://www.fborfw.com/news/002709.php
Please don’t ask how or why I am aware of things like this…
Oh, I’m crushed. I was hoping the flashback thing was just a temporary thing. All cartoonists let you down in the end, dammit.
I just want to stand up and give some applause to Rick Kleffel. I really am in awe of all the incredible content on his podcasts and his Agony website. I don’t know how he does it.
