Miller Takes Shot at Kurtz?



Eric A. Burns at Websnark.com argues that the December 14th Non-Sequitur cartoon from Wiley Miller whereby a "Scotty" tries to enter a nightclub based on his Internet celebrity is definitely a shot at on-line cartoonist Scott Kurtz of PvP, who has been critical of syndicated cartoonists and the way syndication currently works. Kurtz, whose on-line comic affords him a living, has recently begun to self-syndicate his work to print papers in addition to his public advocacy for the value of his on-line platform. He too noted the strip in the December 14 entry of his accompanying blog, quoted a recent criticism from Miller and responded in a few sentences of which this:

"In my opinion, Wiley is a close-minded blowhard who thinks he's the only person on the planet to ever have an original idea."

was merely a part.

Miller is on the record saying his December 13 Non-Sequitur cartoon had a target: the lack of willpower shown by editors and reporters to look into November 5 voting fraud. What's interesting here is that Miller seems surprised that in attacking apathy the response has been, well, apathetic.
