OK, Wisconsinites, this blog’s for you.
Regular readers of our little cartoon blog will recognize Spot the Frog creator, and all around great guy, Mark Heath as a regular commenter. (BTW, check out Mark’s Frog Blog too!)
I’m a big fan of Spot. It’s a rare gem of a strip that combines laugh out loud funny with a sort of philosophical sweetness not seen since Calvin and Hobbes. But there’s a problem…
Readers of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel can no longer spot Spot. The editors there have dropped the strip. This is where you cheeseheads come in…
Please please please drop the Sentinal’s editors a line and ask for Spot’s return! Don’t settle for lesser comics. To paraphrase early Beastie Boys, you’ve got to fight for your right to laugh hearty!
Editors hate getting mail about comics. It’s not their favorite section of the paper and they’d prefer it just hum along quietly. So, when readers speak up, they’re usually quick to make changes so they can get back to runaway brides and such.
Save Spot! Write now!
