#11, Jesus Could've been a Ninja went up this morning, and with it having gone up, June's Facebook profile went "public" as well, though, it had existed for a few weeks now.

Multiple personalities are super fun. On a moderately more serious note, how do you feel about this kinda "integration"? It's an experiment on my part, and while I don't know what kind of results I may or may not get, I don't really see it causing harm in any way, considering that the site itself is a part of this current arc.

Sorry to post about Wikipedia again. I made the mistake of checking on the deletion thread there this morning (I blame Dirk Deppey for linking to it in Journalista! this morning and reminding me of it) and I see another mischaracterization of ComixTalk by the Wikipedia user Dragonfiend.

COMIXTALK

• New feature articles up including interviews with Stephen Notley and Brad Hawkins as well as a new column on self-imposed "constraints" in the creative process from Derik Badman.
• I still need names and addresses from two of the Karas winners - if you're not Wes, JT; Joe; Lou; Charles; Elizabeth; Dave; or Frank email me your contact information! Thanks.

INTERVIEWS

• New York Magazine has a good interview with Nick Gurewitch of Perry Bible Fellowship.
• Wizard talks to Cameron Stewart, the creator of the new webcomic Sin Titulo.
• Jennifer Contino talks to the creators of The Mighty Motor Sapiens, a webcomic that runs on the NASCAR website.
• The FLOG! has some video excerpts from Gary Groth's interview with Charles Schulz biographer David Michaelis. (h/t Journalista!)
• Blog@Newsarama has an interview with Wesley Green, who runs Ambrosia Publishing which hosts serialized webcomics.

BUSINESS

• Richard Pachter has an article about the history of work-for-hire in the comic book industry. (h/t Journalista!)
• Paul Gravett has an article about graphic novels in bookstores. (h/t Journalista!)

AROUND TEH WORLD IN 80 BLOGS

• I predict all webcomics will be required to feature a Cory Doctorow costumed blogger reference next year in comics during Halloween. This year, Jack of All Blades picked up on the joke that started with xkcd.
• Anyone else reading the comic adaptation of 1984? Besides not being able to figure out who the creator is from the site (anyone know?) I also noticed that it was licensed under the Free Art license from artlibre.org. It seems to be a bit like Creative Commons although I didn't read the license carefully enough to be completely sure.
• Peter Bagge has a comic on partying with Dick Cheney. No shotguns were involved.
• Dirk Deppey picks up on the Wikipedia thread on deleting the new ComixTalk entry over there (and no I've had nothing to do with any of it). In honor of all-things-wiki here's a link to "the 8 most needlessly detailed Wikipedia entries".

The last time we visited The Spires, we looked in on Jeste's old adversary, Jamyl, leaving our heroes in the snug warmth of a tavern. Or at least a tavern type place. With a decidedly odd new companion.

But we don't like our heroes to get too comfortable so, in the latest instalment Jeste and and her companions are on the move again. Nothing wrong with that, of course. Well, not unless you happen to be scared of heights!
