What does it take to make a successful comic strip?
A day job and an understanding and supportive wife. Can you think of your most memorable or favorite strip, one that incited a lot of debate or one that you feel was most successful? I recently did a 3-part series on the phenomenon of black people mocking white people. I used that crappy movie White Chicks as the catalyst but basically posed the question, “Do white people mind being mocked by black people?” Tons of responses came in. The second strip asked, “Is it time for black people to move on and stop with the white jokes already?” More responses. Finally I stated where I stand on the whole issue. That there’s nothing I love more than a brotherly racial ribbing and that I wouldn’t want to live in a world where we are not allowed to do so. What would you say is your editorial viewpoint in these comics? What are some of the issues that are closest to your heart? I can only write on subject through my own personal viewpoint. I don’t have all the answers nor do I try and pose that I do
