Day By Day - Ed

Day By Day - Ed Driscoll as an interesting interview with Chris Muir, cartoonist of Day By Day.

And topical is key. "Syndicated cartoons are drawn four to eight weeks before publication. I do mine one hour before uploading them, day by day. (Ha!) The process keeps me sharp, though I probably will build up some inventory in case of future time conflicts."

What's next for Muir? He plans to "improve the art and writing, set up merchandising, and probably do a synchronized campaign with my readers to break into syndication and publication."

Day By Day is the darling of the conservative blogosphere. The writing is sometimes a little inconsistant - it could use a little buffing up some days - but there's a lot of potential.

And Sam's way hot.

Too bad she doesn't have kids or anything.

UPDATE: Reader JB writes "Mitch. You just hit on a cartoon character".

Gaaah. Yes, I guess I did. When you're 40 and single, someone like Sam - capable, balanced, Libertarian-Republican - is a near-chimerical vision. But dating women who don't have kids has been a near-unremitting buzzkill.

And what's wrong with cartoon characters? The first time I was single, I thought Calvin's mom was pretty happenin', too...

I'm officially pathetic, aren't I?
