Every now and then a newspaper has an upcoming opening on their comics page and runs some test strips to see what readers might like as a replacement. Rarely do we know that this is happening in advance, so rarely do we get to pick the strips that will run. It's a gut wrencher!
But there is a rumor that I will be tested somewhere soon, and in anticipation of the possibility, I'm trying to "write my best stuff". Now, isn't that a sure recipe for writer's block?
I hope not. Anyway, if you see a cartoon poll in your paper, do me a favor. Read the stuff and let the newspaper know what you like. Cartoonists everywhere are counting on you! And, if you want to vote for MY strip in particular, please, run for the phone, computer, twitter machine. Yes, I said twitter machine.
