A few days ago we noted that comics veteran James Hudnall was going through a very rough patch, with the amputation of his foot due to a diabetic ulcer. We've been following along on his FB page and although his recovery has been good, he's now in a pretty tough spot. The operation took place in Austin, TX where he'd just moved to take a job—which may or may not still exist. He's also been forced to move out of the place he was staying because it is not suitable for a man in a wheelchair. As of this morning he has no place to live, and staying in a motel while he gets his stuff in order is expensive.

Insiders have been whispering that Hasbro the toy making giant, may buy Dreamworks Animation. The two companies would definitely find some of what they're missing in one another.

Some people are drug addicts. Others are food addicts. Some, plastic surgery addicts. Ed Kramer, co-founder of Dragon Con and convicted sex offender, is a lawsuit addict. After more than a decade of legal wrangling that kept him from standing child on molestation charges; and dozens of jailhouse law suits involving his health and religion that made keeping him incarcerated insanely expensive, he's back with a new law suit claiming that his conviction on child molestation charges last December should be overturned.

We've been talking about how the comics industry is doing well, and people seem to be making good on their business plans. But there are still cautionary tales. One such tale is Kaboom Test Labs, a two store cain located in Albuquerque, NM that abruptly closed shop this weekend. The main site has only a note that the owners were leaving New Mexico; a Facebook page where disappointed customers wondered what happened has been removed.

Roz Chast continues her dominance of the end-of-year best graphic novel lists, by topping Amazon's list of the best graphic novels of the year. The books are selected by the Amazon editorial team, led by Sara Nelson, and ranked in order of sales (which is pretty interesting in and of itself.) Chast's book, a painful yet humorous look at the end of her parent's life—has already won the first Kirkus Award for non fiction, and been named to PW's Best Books list, and I suspect we may see it on a few more lists before the year is done. As of the moment, it's Amazon's #1 book in the "Parenting & Relationships > Aging Parents" category. So there.

The preliminary list is here. To say some critical darlings are missing would be an understatement. However some excellent reader favorites are well represented. But you can still write in—the top five write ins will be added to a list of final nominees.
