Best Of Luck To Alan Gardner During His Blogging Hiatus



Alan Gardner is putting The Daily Cartoonist on the hibernate setting for a little while, and describes his reasons and the admirable things he'll be doing with that time in this lengthy, photo-filled post.

The Daily Cartoonist and CR found their initial audience surge about the same time, and I remember we were covered in Editor & Publisher together at a point in time when Editor & Publisher had someone to write about stuff like that. The primary value of Gardner's site as I saw it was its primary focus on strip cartoonists and news of interest to strip artists. It wasn't the entirety of what the site covered, but it was definitely its focus. While I believe a number of people certainly enjoyed its cordial comments culture there for a while, I think it's the focus that stands out for the site as I experienced it. Because of that, I hope Gardner returns with the site or a different form of coverage and community-building, and if he doesn't, I hope he acknowledges a successor for his specific purview.
