• Today in Marjane Satrapi news: Persepolis has been nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Animated Feature category.
• James Kochalka has a new online comic called Fancy Froglin, but like a drug dealer hanging out at the schoolyard, only the first taste is free.
• Gary Panter goes Marvel with a cover for Jonathan Lethem’s Omega the Unknown.
• Combining two of my favorite things (free comics and museums), NY Mag has an excerpt from Marc-Antoine Mathieu’s The Museum Vaults.
