The fact that the guy who’s presumably in charge of deciding what gets syndicated by UPS (such as Ann Coulter, Dear Abby’s idiot daughter, and James Dobson) is using such mild language instead of I want to see Little Dee in every paper in the country and any of my competitors that thinks different is a moron is pretty indicative of the state of smarts at the syndicates. But I promised you questions, so here you go: [...] [...] Regular readers of this space will know that we at Fleen (okay, “I at Fleen”, happy?) have a bug up our (my) butts (butt) about the state of syndicated comics.

I believe what's-his-name of Dilbert fame has a blog as well, but I can't say I've read. Johnson on the other and comes across as an exceedingly nice person, and I'm sure he'd love to share some of his views on the up-and-coming talent (or lack thereof), once he's finished renovating his house after all the hurricane damage. And just to be at least tangentially on topic: I find "Get Fuzzy" to be one of the best new strips out there (I like "Pearls before swine" as well, though, despite the horrible, horrible art) and I was very pleased to see it appear in a paper here in Denmark. I'm not exactly thrilled with the translations occasionally, but I realise that GF is often much too topical to actually make it into a European setting unscathed. - Sili Just to add my 2.4 cents worth:

Looks like the syndicates finally have to face the problem they created by publishing comics online. I wonder how this will affect the readership of web-only cartoons.
