New Comic Strip - Biographics by Steve McGarry

Here's the link to preview his strip.

Pretty neat, there's Flash Animation for those who read their strips on the web, and there's a print version.

Future of Where You'll Get Your News --- Attn. Editorial Cartoonists!

Remember the good ol' days when Walter Cronkite was considered the most trustworthy source of news?

I came across this article in another blog. It doesn't surprise me at all, as I'm watching less and less and reading more online. More and more, however, I think about my research and writing instructor, Gary Steinley, and his mantra "Be critical consumers of your literature." Just because items are in print, or in other forms of media -- check the validity and reliability of your source!

How does this affect editorial cartoonists though? Already, I see that even in blogoshere that in order for bloggers to earn an income, they've got to rely on ads -- (and no doubt, some are sponsored by corporations or campaigns as well.) How does pay come to be for an online editorial cartoonist?

Just tossing something out here to see if it generates some discussion or further thought.

Open Thread: Newspapers, etc.

Tim's excellent comment inspired me to look up an article I had read last December and to open up a discussion thread.

Some thoughts to discuss: What is the present or the future for editorial, gag, or strip artists?

What is the future of print media?

Would MORE comic strips, political cartoons, etc. sell more print media?
