New Comic Book Review Blog Launches
 CBR reports that Randy Lander from The Fourth Rail and Dave Farabee from Ain't It Cool News have teamed with two other Austin writers to launch a comic book review blog called Comic Pants.
Joining Lander and Farabee in this endeavor are Nick Budd and David Martindale. Martindale also serves as lead designer and technician for the new site. All four writers work at Dragon's Lair Comics in Round Rock, Texas.
Comic Pants is anchored by "Wednesday Number Ones", a weekly feature updating every Wednesday morning that will provide commentary on every first issue coming to comic shops that day. In addition, the site will feature regularly updated reviews from all four contributors, Lander's popular Previews forecast column "Down the Line" and more.
Comic Pants is a serious review site with a sense of humor, as indicated by the unusual name, which was suggested by Dave Farabee during a brainstorming session.
In the first post Comic Pants notes that they have a good editorial mix. Two writers with five or more years of experience and two new writers offering fresh voices.

BLaugh Offers Daily Blogosphere Comic
 LockerGnome.com founder Chris Pirillo and freelance artist Brad Fitzpatrick have started a funny blogosphere comic called bLaugh.
We love to laugh - so now we're preparing the world to bLaugh! This is the (un)Official comic of the blogosphere - colorful, satirical, and comical. Expect parodies of "A-List" bloggers all the way down to the meme of the day - no holds barred. Brad Fitzpatrick is bLaugh's artist, and Chris Pirillo is the writer. Our strip is exclusively sponsored by a single company, GoDaddy. We have a bLaugh feed for you to suck down - and we give you code to display our comics anywhere! Of course, all you ego-maniacs should be watching closely - because you're likely the ones to be parodied on a regular basis. If you blog, or your name (brand) is getting tossed around in the blogosphere, you're on our radar.
The TechCrunch comic is from yesterday. Today's comic lampoons the overly discussed Rocketboom mess. You can also add the daily comic to your blog or side with this code.

Family Circus Comic Mentions Blogging
A recent Family Circus comic is about blogging. One of the Family Circus girls is outside running a lemonade stand. She is telling a potential customer that her brother Billy is the advertising manager and he is inside blogging to promote the business. Very cute. Thanks to Debbie Weil for finding it.

PubSub Adds Comics Community List
PubSub.com has a added a community list for comics. PubSub's community lists rank blogs by subject matter using LinkRanks, PubSub's method of comparing sites to one another by scrutinizing their links.
Superheroes, graphic novels, comix, comic strips, or manga, whatever your preference in comics, someone is blogging about it: news, reviews, commentary, criticism, or discussion. Comics readers are a wordy bunch for people who spend so much time looking at pictures. This list collects sites that predominantly focus on comics and organizes them by LinkRank. If you have suggestions for additions to the list, let us know.
PubSub's comics list is edited by Derik A Badman, a librarian at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. Badman writes about comics at his blog MadInkBeard and also publishes a weekly webcomic called Maroon. Currently topping PubSub's comic lists are Flog, The Low Road, Comic Book Resources, Comics Should Be Good and The Great Curve. PubSub.com also has several other community lists: Law, PR, Fashion and The Librarian List. The community lists are useful lists for finding blogs -- but there should be dozens of them instead of just five.
