Links for November 3rd through November 14th

Some reading for November 3rd through November 14th:

• CR Review: What Birds Know - Tom reviews one of my regular webcomics reads. (If only they had an rss feed so I could remember to read it regularly.)
• Fall 2008: New Comics from Pantheon - PWCW on Pantheon’s Fall 08 line, including David Mazzuchelli’s “Asterios Polyp”! It’s been forever since he released something, and I can’t wait.
• CHARLES SCHULZ ON HIS PROCESS OF MENTAL DRAWING - Quoted by Austin Kleon. I do this “mental drawing” all the time. More than I do actual drawing.
• Jesse Hamm On Jesse Marsh - Briefly on Marsh’s Tarzan work. Nice bit about the compositions of panels. I’ll be looking for the forthcoming Dark Horse reprints.
• Academaesthetics by Shane Smith - An essay in comics form about comics and essays. Quite interesting, I’ve often thought about comics essays, it’s so rare to see comics that are not just non-fiction but also non-narrative (i.e. not autobiography, history)… (link thanks to Neil Cohn)
• Dash Shaw’s new book - Is coming out from Fantagraphics in the spring! According to his site, he’ll also have a couple stories in Mome. You can see sample pages of all of them here.
