Bob Stevenson reviews a lot of webcomics at his blog and his most recent review is of Butternut Squash by Ramon Perez and Rob Coughler. His reviews always consist of a webcomic about the reviewed webcomic followed by a short written review. It's an entertaining format - worth catching up with if you aren't already reading.

Neil Gaiman has recently come down with a case of writer's block and can't seem to come up with a good name for a cruise ship in his upcoming novel, Anansi Boys. His solution?

It's great to see Gaiman take his already outstanding relationship with the comic world even further in an effort to support the industry.
