Tuesday Runaround: The Book On Bendis
LogoWatch: Keith Wood's design of the new Oni Press logo, in fine detail, at Inc Magazine. With other versions and some professional reaction.
"It's hard to tell what the image is; my first impression was that it was a chicken.

I've had some very good years and a few relatively lean ones.
