I’ll miss your political cartoons. But I look forward to a long-format work. Is that going to have a micropayment system? Anyway, congratulations on the new outlets. I’m sure you will soon be waist deep in filthy lucre.

I, too, will miss the political cartoons, but congratulations on your new gig, and here is hoping the other one works out just as well.

Not to knock your political cartoons, Barry, which rock–but welcome back to the narrative side of the Force. We missed yez.

But… how can you say it wasn’t rewarding when you got that trophy-plaque thingie ? No one else I know has gotten one yet ? ;)

Damn. I wish my blog was working so I could commemorate this decision with a lengthy diatribe decrying the loss to our peculiar artform posed by the demise of your political strip. So I’ll just settle for breaking your fingers the next time we meet.

Kidding! I would never hurt you, you callous insensitive clod. Now I am all alone in the world. Well, me and twenty-odd other ZNet cartoonists. And hundreds, if not thousands of gag-oriented mainstream political cartoonists. And hundreds of thousands of zinester-blogster minions spewing venom at the established order. The problem is: Your stuff is good and different and an improvement on the artform, and all that hi-falutin stuff.

Yet in the end, despite shedding my small tear, I wholly support your decision. Cuz, like Kip implied, your longer narrative stuff rocks. Maybe next year we’ll see the fruits of this new direction up on the wall at Pushdot.
