'NEXT GREAT CARTOONIST': Behind the wall of today's 'IMOGEN QUEST'

i have enjoyed reading about the new comic writer and her background thoughts when writing them. did she print one for saturday?

>> @lfooter:

Thanks for reading "Imogen Quest." We had production problems with Saturday's strip; we will republish it here as soon as the issue is fixed.

What about the 'embiggen' feature - that hasn't worked for me for any entries.

These cartoons have been wonderful. But the mistake, IMHO, that younger cartoonists may sometimes make is to assume the reader knows what is in their minds. This Trojan Horse 'toon doesn't quite click, and when I read Olivia's comment, she says, "In my mind, the Trojans went to Marshalls..."
There is certainly much fun to be had in doodling what is in one's own mind, but unless others at least have a shot at trying to get it, it isn't a real cartoon. [Doesn't the visitor bring a hostess gift, [here presumably the horse itself] and not the other way round? Why do the Trojans need to go get a gift at Marshalls? Must ask Miss Manners.]

Kas300, I'm not young, and I have no trouble getting the jokes in these strips.

You are overthinking the joke. Maybe her sense of humor just isn't your cup of tea. I much prefer Olivia's style to the strips that seem to come with a nyuck-nyuck-nyuck soundtrack and the punchline in bold, like Barney and Clyde.
