Great pick up on the NEA in the signature block. I found out Wednesday that it’s been put back in the bullpen (probably something to do with the Newspaper Enterprise Association moniker sounding too “newspapery”). So from now on I’ll be using UFS on everything, which is great by me.

Thanks for the link to Lynch’s blog. I’ll take a look and continue to ponder. I appreciate it.

Regarding the Larson quote above – Here’s Mike Lynch:
“I think Julie’s wrong about this. There will always be comics, but more and more of them will be drawn by people like Mike Gioia, who has the fulltime job and the health coverage that allow him the luxury of creating a cartoon for free.” http://mikelynchcartoons.blogspot.com/

That still doesn’t bode well for the profession.
