One Last Thing About FoxTrot Move

I forgot to mention this in my two previous posts this week on the publishing news story that strip cartoonist Bill Amend was taking his FoxTrot to Sundays-only, but I admire the move in that it's beneficial to the comics page. At his client level, it would be very easy for Amend to hire ghost creators to do the FoxTrot dailies and reduce his work load in a still-significant way by merely supervising the quality of the scripts; at worst, people would have thought him a bit burnt out and off his game. With Amend's choice to end the dailies outright, there are now opportunities for other strips to find a wider audience. If only every cartoonist were as gracious.

It's also good to hear, as it was with Aaron McGruder, about a talented person choosing to pursue the opportunities they want to pursue rather than be stuck in a job they don't like anymore, even a lucrative one.
