this strip is having difficulty finding papers that will run it, but i'm fighting for it in every meeting i'm in. i'm saying "find me a paper that will run owlhawk's strip or i walk."

the new rex morgan is doing big numbers in initial focus testing groups. audiences cited his no-nonsense approach to medicine as one appealing aspect of the strip, and further went on to say "in these trying times".

it's ok. i'm not asking for a big commitment from you. i just need you to adopt a wayward strip. graft it into your life like a new organ in your body. live it, breathe it, and produce 7 strips a week for the next 40 years. until your sense of humor, your worldview, and every wry observation on every day life that you have ever had have been wrung out of you 3 times over, seeping into the american subconcious like ink on newsprint. and at the end of it the nation will hate you. they will throw you on the trash pile with garfield and cathy. unwanted and unappreciated and put out to pasture like the last schmuck who wrote this strip. and the strip is sky masters by dave wood and jack kirby.

your can-do attitude has earned you a crack at young hobby club by cappy dick. very little is known about this strip, so don't expect this to be an easy nut to crack.

syndication just called me out of bed at 3 am for an emergency meeting. they're pulling you off of backbench. they said "it was a mistake to put manifisto on backbench. he's a wildcard, and a provacateur." they are reassigning you to the home front by frank adams.

this new direction for the strip is resonating with a number of high-value demographics. the animated strips are more expensive to print, but syndication told me "if these analytics are accurate, we don't care what it costs to print the drat thing." lol they love analytics over in syndication.

i'm down at the presses this morning to see that the first batch of funnies comes out a-ok. the presses are really howling and comics are up up up. everyone here is in good spirits. even some of the newspaper accountants in the little green visors, who are usually posessed of such a cloudy disposition had a smile on their face this morning. hear that? it's print news starting to heal.

how it works: post itt to receive your assignment. i will choose a random comic strip and link you the wikipedia article. using what you learn in the article, modernize the strip concept. post an example strip itt. if you need to do a multi part story you can post multiple strips as long as you remember that nobody likes it when comic strips do that. if you post your strip on sunday it has to be in color.

i wasnt aware this was a place for..... "yewth", but i guess so huh

i appreciate that. i'm proud to be working with you to help rejuvenate the funny pages. should we cast a wide net (give me another comic) or really mine this vein (adopt 'the in kids', graft it into my life like a new organ in my body, live it, breathe it, produce 7 strips a week for the next 40 years until my sense of humor, my worldview, and every wry observation on every day life that i have ever had have been wrung out of me 3 times over)

the choice is yours. in one hand i am offering you the "in" kids and all the burden that its knowledge will entail. but you can still back out. in the other hand i am offering tom and jerry, a simple two dimensional comic strip about a cartoon cat. the choice is yours.

whether or not something is the right comic or wrong comic is immaterial. all the people from back then are dead now. as for the content of the strips, the beer stuff is not being well received (seltzer is in this season). the fish blowjob on the other hand is a certified hit and is getting a lot of play in the alt weeklies.

that's a big part of the reason we've been asked to do this. bill yates got cancelled, as has every cartoonist circa 1909-1992.

Umm. That's like 93% of all comics from the 1920s -1970s.

And the percentages don't go down a lot outside that range.
