By Jeremy Nisen
Gingerbread Girl is an upcoming original graphic novel created by the husband and wife team of Paul Tobin (writer) and Colleen Coover (artist). The book is being marketed in an interesting way: Top Shelf, the publisher, is posting pages of it online, for free, before the “tree pulp” version arrives in May. So really, there’s no excuse not to check it out at Top Shelf 2.0 (along with some other fine content). Colleen and Paul took some time to answer a few questions about the book, and more. More

This compendium of Keith Knight’s one-page strip The K Chronicles largely concerns cartoons involving his son, and to a lesser extent the election of the United States’ first black president, Barack Obama. More

Writer JD Arnold and artist Rich Koslowski (award-winning creator of Three Fingers and The King) weave a rich and sometimes savage tapestry of 1920s Southern life with BB Wolf and the Three LPs.
