Much thanks to my mom, my kids’ mom, and all the other moms out there. You don’t get enough credit. (Calvin and Hobbes comic from Simply Calvin and Hobbes; check out http://www.simplych.com for more information about the strip.)

Pop on over to The Beat to see a complete list of this year’s Eisner nominees. With 148 nominations in 29 categories, this is going to be one looooong Eisner ceremony.
Good to see some love for longtime Nerdage faves Matt Fraction and Matt Silady.
And since I’m on a Caniff kick, it’s gratifying to see IDW’s “Terry and the Pirates” reprints getting some love as well.

If you’re as excited about the Buck Rogers announcement of new comics from Dynamite as I am, you can bide the time with other Buck-Rogers-related entertainment. For example, you can check out full episodes of the TV series free on NBC.com. Find out more about the comic strip at Toonopedia. I haven’t found any info about reprints of the comic strip, but if I do, I’ll post it. Dynamite’s release does indicate that reprints of classic material are included in their license, so maybe we’ll see reprints of the 1970s series and the original comic strip.

In sad news for fans of gumshoe Dick Tracy, created by Oklahoma’s Chester Gould, the Dick Tracy Museum of Woodstock, Ill., is slated to close.
The Chicago Tribune reports the Gould estate could no longer fund the museum, which opened in 1991, and it will close in June. Family members plan to make an internet site highlighting some of Gould’s letters and strips as a more accessible replacement.
