* you really need to get your entry for the Stumptown Comic Art Awards submitted. You only have until Friday, and that's if you go to the post office yourself.

* Craig Fischer on Messages In A Bottle. Paul Di Filippo on The Freddie Stories. Don MacPherson on Grey Area #1.
* go, look: Rafael Grampa draws Spider-Man. Max draws a library-inth. John Kenn draws my first day in the third grade. Dustin Harbin draws a kid in a tree. Renee French draws whatever Renee French likes. Plus an ant. Matthias Adolfsson draws the maze of my dreams. Steve Rude draws on commission.
* on the end of formal comics censorship in Australia.
* not comics: Matt Maxwell looks at this painting by the great Carl Barks and sees more than a little Earl Otus in there.
* from Iestyn Pettigrew comes this link to a discussion about how to process comics as art, posted at the site of Great Britain's leading modern art museum (or one of them, I guess, I couldn't say for sure). The one time I'm glad I don't have the background in art to say smart things that people with that background can say is when I see people having trouble processing an issue that I blow past without a single worry.
* Bill Baker talks to Rick Geary.
* not comics: the cartoonist and artist Nate Powell went on a Civil Rights-related tour and took a bunch of photos.
* finally: holy crud, Jack Kirby.
