If you’ve been following the post Comic Con International discussion about female creators and DC Comics, you should run over to Fleen and read Gary Tyrrell’s take on the matter.

Apes: My pal Rich Handley gets himself interviewed at Newsday about Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes.

Fan: My funny book acquaintance David Seidman was profiled recently in Jewish Journal. All I can say is that the interviewer would probably be overwhelmed by the San Diego con.

Actors: Chad Michael Murray of One Tree Hill has written a graphic novel that Archaia will publish.

Popeye: Nice short profile of cartoonist Hy Eisman.

Unknown: Novelist James Reasoner really likes Mark Waid and Minck Oosterveer’s graphic novel, The Unknown. “This is great stuff, poignant and intelligent and sharply written.”

Fangs: And Reasoner also likes American Vampire, calling the “scripts are tough and well-written, blending introspection, gory action, and historical backgrounds.”

Cap: Lance Mannion, a fan of Captain America, reviews the new movie, and breaks down Marvel’s other features.

Pogo: Over at Splog, animator Michael Sporn posts a bunch of Walt Disney’s Comics & Stories covers by Walt Kelly.

San Diego: Did blogger and Vanity Fair writer James Wolcott really attend this year’s Comic Con International?

Attack: SF writer John Scalzi looks at why the better alien invasion movie, Attack The Block, didn’t get the big promotional push of the bigger alien invasion movie, Cowboys & Aliens. If you have any inkling of how movies work, business-wise, you know he’s right.

Blam!: So what magazine was the first to put an exploding head on the cover? You know you want to know and Weimar World Service has an idea.

Spongebob: Republicans continue their war against being smart by claiming Spongebob Squarepants indoctrinates children into understanding science.

Ronnie: I will always link to an interview with Ronnie Corbett (The Two Ronnies).

And finally, Monty Python’s Terry Jones has a new book coming out. Hint: it’s been “crowdfunded,” by Unbound, a British version of Kickstarter.

That’s it for now! Use your internets responsibly!
