William Messner-Loebs Update

It includes a nice photo. Two things pop out at me. The first is stressing that any long-term solution counts on the cartoonist receiving work, which I bet will at some point include a big collection of his 19th Century frontier adventure and occasional earthy comedy Journey. The second is that I've talked to a few mainstream comics folk in the last couple of years when the subject of Messner-Loebs has come up, and one thing that's interesting is that without citing the Michigan-based cartoonist and writer's problems in keeping a home and finding a work specifically, or in a critical way on any level, a lot of them speak of their time in the mainstream comics sun as limited and one or two even talked about making sure to use that window to buy and secure a home and put money back. That's not exactly an industry-altering sea change, but I wouldn't have been surprised if I had never heard a successful mainstream pro talk this way.
