Farawayistan is a cute, single panel webcomic which pairs often simplistic, child-like drawings with straightforward observations of the world. You probably need to read through the archives for it to grow on you, just one perhaps isn’t enough to convince you of the charm of this project. For myself, I think the charm is in its general niceness. It’s Exploding Dog-like without any pretense to visual or linguistic irony. Continue Reading

Tom Spurgeon has a story on the move of the Harvey awards from MoCHA to Baltimore’s Comicon.

I don't have the full story yet, but Dumbrella has set up it's own shop for t-shirts, leaving Neil G's Vault Distribution. (Neil G is the creator of Robot Stories and the founder of Dayfree Press.)
John Allison, creator of Scary Go Round wrote recently:
Following a precipitous deterioration of service from Vault Distribution, Scary Go Round's shirts are now shipping from the Dumbrella Distribution Depot in Massachusetts. Hopefully most problems have now been dealt with but if you ordered books or a shirt other than "Books Rule" before October 14th and haven't received it, please email me at john -at- scarygoround.com with "SGR ENQUIRY" in the subject line and we will get on it immediately.
