Justin Thompson Wins Unfit Gig

imageThe slightly strange, open-call contest to find a new artist for the health club comic strip Unfit has ended with Justin Thompson declared the winner. A couple of Thompson's try-out strips, and those of some of his competitors, can be seen at the top of the page here. Scott Adams has been hosting the contest on his blog for Unfit's creator Mike Belkin, although many readers just assume Belkin is Scott Adams rather than a protege. Adams goes into pretty solid detail in that blog entry announcing the winner, noting things like United Media sales people having Thompson as one of their top choices as well, and that large numbers of people will likely hate the change. As I recall, Unfit appears in a modest number of papers.
