* Noah Berlatsky on Heart Of Thomas. Joel Heng Hartse on American Elf.
* here's something that I hope people will pass around: CAKE has extended its application deadline to January 7. That's the Chicago small-press show that had a good first year last year and is moving 3500-ish north for this year's show.
* Elizabeth Allie talks to Jim Demonakos and Ron Brister.
* it's much less of a thing for comics fans, but it might be worth noting that Hugo Award nominations are open, too. They do have a graphic story category, but I don't want to conflate their importance to comics folk: mostly I thought the concurrence was interesting. Both of those awards slates tend to get announced in early April.
* this chart sounds so depressing I couldn't even read the article that spotlights it.
* new year = new Nipper.
* whoa, Marie Severin.
* this surprise Secret Acres blog entry goes to Philadelphia and writes about the experience. Or something. You get what I'm saying.
* Smile Pad 1989.
* finally, Cagle welcomes Steve Sack.
