Go, Read: Secret Agent Beatdown

One of the higher profile hosts in the on-line cartooning world, Salon this week replaced Carol Lay's long-running Tuesday offering Way Lay with something called Kansas O'Flaherty... Secret Agent, which is decently well-pedigreed in that the creators have worked before on what seem like reasonably high-profile individual projects maybe not exactly comics. Lay's strip moves to Fridays. Anyway, Kansas O'Flaherty's first mission was not well received. At the very least the first 34 commentaries on Salon were flat-out negative. I would expect something positive to get on there sooner or later just from a buddy stepping in, or maybe a note from the kind of person that scoops up a spider and walks it outside rather than stepping on it. Until then, it's a reminder that comics is a tough gig.

I e-mailed with Lay last night, who confirmed her strip's move and said she was flattered that people have thought enough to ask after her strip's new schedule.
