Haven't done one of these in a while either...

• Behind the Scenes at First Second Books. I love these tours.
• Warren Ellis' Freakangels stats. Hmmm.
• Scalzi offers writers advice on money. Double hmmmm.
• The poetics of comics. Cool stuff.
• Gaiman with his Henson Award. Very cool stuff.
• NYT: Starbucks takes a 3-hour coffee break. Remains to be seen if it means better coffee.

Apologies for the lack of depth in commentary; I think I'm fighting off a low-level version of the office plague du jour.
