Avril Lavigne is selling another comic, according to this Canadian Press "article". Her website is offering the item for sale and it turns out it is written by U.S. superheroine Gail Simone.

Chris Butcher rounds up the links about the upcoming Toronto appearance of cartoonist Michel Rabagliati.

Speaking of Chris Butcher, Kevin Boyd does the math and comments on a Butcher's recent rant about the general crappiness of 99% of the 3000+ graphic novels published last year. Nothing is safe from Boyd's curse of "derivative", not even fan faves Scott Pilgrim and Essex County.

Speaking of Kevin Boyd, both he and Robin Bougie note the passing (at 53!) of U.S. cartoonist Dave Stevens, who created the Rocketeer in the 1980s.


Graphic art and cartoon drawing workshop with Faith Hicks, author of best selling graphic novel, Zombies Calling, takes place 1-3 p.m. at the New Glasgow Library, Nova Scotia. All materials supplied. For children ages 9 to 15. It will be followed by a book reading with Hicks 3:05 - 3:30 p.m .
