On a post on the Talk about comics message board Dave "The Knave" White announces that he will be leaving Graphic Smash.

Today is the last Japanese Beetle strip for Graphic Smash. I just wanted to say thanks to T and Joey for giving it a chance. It's not you, it's me - and I really do mean that.

and on his website he adds

Well, and that's it for Graphic Smash. Thanks to T. Campbell, who's been a great editor, and to Joey Manley for making it all possible. I've had a good time at GS, but honestly, I'm just not a group-joining type of guy, and it feels kind of liberating to be back on my own again.

T Cambell's reply to Dave's post at TAC hints that The japanese beetle isn't the only strip that will soon leave Graphic smash.

Don't know how I missed this, but Zwol.org has a hilarious thread going on "What else does Scott understand?"

It's such a natural parody I'm amazed no one thought of it before.

BBC - Radio 4 - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - The Adventure Game is back as a java-based web game. Apparently this is the old Infocom game dressed up with graphics. Cool! :)

Usually I find the small insights into Kochalka's life he give us in American Elf a joyful experience.

Today, it's just too much information.

Nowhadimean?

Not much interesting going on out there in La-la-land but one thing I noticed earlier this week is that Graphic novel review has a classifieds section. Looking for a collaborator? Maybe you have something to sell? This is the place (well, one of them) to let people know so.
For instance, both T Campbell (Fans!) and Barb Lien-Cooper (Gun street girl) are looking for artists to collaborate with.

Here is a sketch I did today while taking a break at the day job. It is Maya from the webcomic Paper 11 over at Clone.Manga. Lemme know what ya think. The art on the original comic is very stark black and white. Though I didn't hit it exactly I think it came out pretty good.
