Tom Tomorrow:
Breaking news!

I am extraordinarily pleased to announce that my cartoon returns to the Village Voice tomorrow after an extended absence. I really didn’t expect this, and I just have to say thank you to the people who went out of their way to make it happen. If you’re a Voice reader, or even just a fan of cartooning, please do me a favor and take a moment to express your appreciation for the decision. Altweekly cartooning overall has kind of been on the ropes for the past year or two, and any editor who takes a stand in support of the art form deserves profound thanks. This is a first step, but it’s a huge one in the right direction — for me personally, of course, but with any luck, for other cartoonists as well. Especially if the Voice gets enough positive feedback on this, so go — show them some love.

Congratulations, Tom! 8-)

And congratulations to folks who took the time to write letters on how important it was to keep his cartoon at the Village Voice!

You can take a moment and send thanks to the village voice by clicking on the link above, "show them some love" or just go here: http://www.villagevoice.com/feedback/Em ... nt=letters

    indeed. :)

    Too bad we only got one EV - we could use thousands of him to get more people back in the work force by blogging! :mrgreen:
