A run down of items of note.

Scott Hilburn, creator of The Argyle Sweater that is launching with Universal Press in April, has written a blog post discussing how his feature made into syndication.

Brooke McEldowney, creator of Pibgorn and 9 Chickweed Lane is recovering from having his gallbladder removed. Notes he: “The surgery, I’m afraid, wasn’t really all that interesting. I slept through the most dramatic part. All I retain is a conviction that I dueled several musketeers bearing very antiseptic épées – and I have the wounds to prove it.”

The Sydney Morning Herald interviews John Cullen Murphy current writer and illustrator for Prince Valiant.

Jack’s son, Cullen, used to write the feature. He writes for the Atlantic Monthly. ‘m not sure if he writes the feature anymore.

I’m quite sure Mr. Murphy does not write or draw “Valiant” anymore; just ask Mark Schultz and Gary Gianni.
