* At The Comics Journal blog, Jared Gardner thinks about the transition from floppy comics to hardcover serial editions, as we’ve seen with Chris Ware’s Acme Novelty Library and now Seth’s Clyde Fans.

* This is kind of Inside Baseball, but what the hell, it’s an amusing read about one of the hazards of reviewing comics: Johanna Draper Carlson recounts trying to ignore PR about a comic she isn’t interested in, at Comics Worth Reading. Comedy gold, Jerry.

* Nice introduction to the work of cartoonist Kevin Huizenga at Robot 6 (via Jaunty Sean T).

* At The Tearoom of Despair, Bob Temuka has some notes on Auckland’s Armageddon comic convention.

* At Comics Comics, Frank Santoro looks at the 9-panel grid as used by Dave Gibbons in Watchmen and Steve Ditko in Spider-Man.

* Uncomics: Forkbastard makes me hungry.
