'NEXT GREAT CARTOONIST': Let us pause for a moment of 'IMOGEN QUEST' nostalgia
Here's today's "IMOGEN QUEST" comic from Olivia Walch, the 21-year-old winner of The Post's "America's Next Great Cartoonist Contest." So, ho does Walch feel about this "old fave" that so many voters liked, too?
"This one has a special place in my heart," Walch tells Comic Riffs, "partly for nostalgia value because it was one of the original six that I entered in the contest, but also because I've seen firsthand what having your left eye raised [out] above your chin does for one's confidence. It's a beautiful thing."
If you have feedback about "Imogen Quest's" monthlong run in Style and on Comic Riffs, feel free to share your impressions.

'She's had work' is one of my favorites of Olivia's original submission's (that and the pet password comic).
She's doing well, with a few real keepers.
She's just hitting her stride, and I am looking forward to seeing the rest of her run.
Thanks, Olivia, and good luck!
