odds & ends

comics on tv: on Australian television, there is a recent trend to use speech balloons & thought bubbles, in many ads & promotional clips. is this happening in other places?

Lynn Alexander's pieces at http://thenewpostliterate.blogspot.com/2009/07/recent-asemic-work-from-lynn-alexander.html would work as abstract comics for some people. a few of them remind me a little of Andrei's backyard abstracts, & some by Marc Van Elburg which look like house plans with other bits superimposed.

Kris Bather wrote a marvelous review of my book noology, & is able to read it as an abstract comic! http://comicbookjesus.com/2009/07/12/noology-review/
