Fan appreciation day
Galleycat posts from the New York Comic-Con, with excellent pictures and news of the state of the industry. Among the artifacts are a Danish flag being signed by famous artists to raise money for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund -- something to do with those now-infamous cartoons. (They're just cartoons, people. Lighten up.)
A California "artist" who promised to give away ten-dollar bills to passersby "got spooked at the size of the crowd" and fled, leaving a lot of angry poor people.
"This is messed up," said Brian Boykin, who said he was going to use his money for a hot meal. "That whole time we sat listening to him, thinking we would get money -- and then nothing."
Barry Bonds showed up at spring training a few days ago a year older and no lighter, but he can still swing the bat, and that's all that counts for some people.
Finally, courtesy Michele Richmond's Sans Serif, the news that Laura Albert will continue writing as JT LeRoy, with Last Gasp to publish "LeRoy's" latest book, to be titled Labour. There truly is no such thing as bad publicity.
