OTBP: Salt City

Josh Blair Writes In: "I wanted to direct you to a unique comic strip here in Syracuse. It's called "Salt City," and it's been published in the Syracuse New-Times (the alt-weekly) for the past seven weeks. It's written by Doug Brode, a professor at SU, and illustrated by Joe Orsak, who illustrated 'Chronicles of Captain 'Cuse' for 8.5 years. It's interesting in that it's a serial comic strip that includes references to people and places in Syracuse, similar to what Captain 'Cuse did. I think this is some uplifting news in the newspaper comics world considering all of the layoffs/buyout/etc. lately."

Thanks, Josh. I also think it's interesting, but I'll note that this is maybe the worst on-line presentation in the history of comics.
