And we're still back!
Rob Clough gets things underway this morning with his review of Seth's G.N.B. Double C, one of the artist's lighter "sketchbook" comics, in the vein of Wimbledon Green.
Linkblogging's gonna be a little weird for a while, since we've been gone for so long and so much material has been missed and/or is already ancient in internet terms (by the way, spending no more than fifteen minutes a day using a computer and/or reading the internet is a highly recommended way to spend a week or two, if you can swing it). But here are a few highlights from recent days that are worth taking a look at if you're so inclined.
Joe Sacco has a new story out at Caravan magazine, about Dalit villagers in Upper Pradesh. It looks to be available in print form, as well. (Courtesy Ethan H.)
Steven Heller, the former New York Times art director who gave Bill Griffith his first job in comics while working for Screw, writes a brief profile of the artist for The Atlantic. I've been slowly making my way through an advance copy of Lost and Found, and I think it's really gonna be revelatory for a lot of people.

There's also a three-part video interview with Art Spiegelman from Angoulême that was posted recently. I haven't watched it yet, but plan to do so as soon as it's feasible.
Friends and family of the late publisher, cartoonist, and writer Dylan Williams have started a memorial site for him.
The Rumpus interviewed Adrian Tomine.
Domingos Isabelinho reviews the recent Carl Barks collection.
Finally, I really liked this Eddie Campbell blog post.
