Part muppet and part college faculty member, Brenna Clarke Gray holds a PhD in Canadian Literature while simultaneously holding two cats named Chaucer and Swift. It's a juggling act. Raised in small-town Ontario, Brenna has since been transported by school to the Atlantic provinces and by work to the Vancouver area, where she now lives with her stylish cyclist/webgeek husband and the aforementioned cats. When not posing by day as a forserious academic, she can be found painting her nails and watching Degrassi (through the critical lens of awesomeness). She posts about graphic narratives at Graphixia, and occasionally she remembers to update her own blog, Not That Kind of Doctor. Blog: Not That Kind of Doctor Twitter: @brennacgray

Our daily round-up of news around the comics space, from the gutters and beyond.

Their decor and menus have a particular ambiance of superhero comics with graphic wall art and menus that resemble actual comic books and plenty of confections based on characters like Batman, Superman, Green Lantern — as well as their respective villains.

There are DC Comics cafés in Malaysia and I want to go to there.

But near the end of the 60s and well into the 70s, the cracks started to show. Snoopy began walking on his hind legs and using his hands, and that was the beginning of the end for the strip. Perhaps he was technically still a dog, but in a very substantial way, Snoopy had overcome the principal struggle of his existence. His opposable thumbs and upward positioning meant that for all intents and purposes, he was now a human in a dog costume. One of his new roleplays was to be different Joes — Joe Cool, Joe Skateboard, etc.

Did Snoopy ruin Peanuts?

And there’s about to be one more! In a TMS Exclusive, Marvel is announcing the debut of their latest nuanced female character, complete with an exclusive sneak peek from her first-ever comics appearance!

The Mary Sue has an exclusive first look at Red Widow, and I am so excited.
