Here’s Scott McCloud talking at the TED conference in 2005. Talking about comics, of course, the infinite canvas and abstration, but I particularly like the way he links his theories about comics to his biographical background.

Andy Runton has unveiled the new poster for the American Library Association’s Read campaign, which features his cuddly character Owly. Next to the poster, there’s also a new bookmark, which will doubtlessly find its way into many a collection worldwide.
I just adore the way Runton has been able to incorporate the campaign message in a way that even little children can understand. A love of books should be nurtured even before children actually learn to read in order for reading to become a natural state of being.
Congratulations, Andy !
This strip was created by Katie Cook for the last page of the new edition of George Khoury’s biography of Alan Moore (for sale at TwoMorrows). I just love how Alan looks even more like a gentle giant in this one.
