FFF Results Post #164—Art Dept

On Friday, CR asked its readers to "Hire Five Comics People, Living Or Dead, To Your Fictional Print-Only Newspaper; Assign them one of three jobs: a) Editorial Cartoonist, b) Illustrator, c) Comic Strip Creator. You Must Have One of Each, And You Can't Split The Assignments Or Make Up New Ones." This is how they responded.
