Working Cartoonist Profile: Rob Harrell
There's nothing about the content of this profile of Rob Harrell that drags it out of the quick hits section, but I find it interesting that Universal is doing a nicely-formatted release about a cartoonist at this stage in his career and even includes a photo. This stands as something of a break from the usual syndicate strategy of an announcement of a strip's start with no art included in the release followed seven years and 1400 papers later by a story about charity involvement. Let's hope this begins a new era of press attention focused on growing strips that could benefit.
