Although Steven already beat me to it, I would also like to thank the City Pages for letting us cartoonists, whether professional or amature, to contribute.

Posted On: Friday, Jul. 20 2007 @ 6:14AMWould definitely like to see more of this feature. Maybe a different theme, but yes to more cartoons...
Posted On: Saturday, Jul. 21 2007 @ 8:19PMI thought this was a good feature, and it was nice to see CP give some coverage to cartooning again - something they have been rather remiss with of late (what happened to "Troubletown" and the other good weekies they were running in the classifieds? They've totally disappeared). Some of the comics worked better than others -- with a few the writing was not quite there, although all were strong graphically -- but there's nothing better for aspiring cartoonists than to get into print, show off their stuff, and rub elbows (so to speak) with their peers. Good show, City Pages, keep it up - and bring back the regular comics again!
