foxtrot amend
Friday, December 8th, 2006Gotten the news that one of my fave comic will cease to become a dailies.
“After spending close to half of my life writing and drawing FoxTrot cartoons, I think it’s time I got out of the house and tried some new things,” said Amend. “I love cartooning and I absolutely want to continue doing the strip, just not at the current all-consuming pace. I’ve been blessed over the years with a terrific syndicate, patient newspaper clients, and more support from readers than I probably deserve, and I want to assure them all that while I’ll be now a less-frequent participant on the comics pages, I’ll continue to treat my visits as the special privilege they are.”
The news from here.
Bill Amend is a genius when it comes to the world of Foxtrot. His geek humor when drawing Jason is what really draws me to follow the comic strip. Add in the battle between Jason and Paige (I have a sis, hence the understanding), just makes it even funnier. Plus some more Stars Wars, LOTR themed stripes once in a while…. I am going to miss Foxtrot.
