Update for 2/4/09

New review for The Big Skinny by Carol Lay, and this is as good a time as any to mention the tough times alternative cartoonists like Carol are going through.  I know, times are tough all over, but weekly strips are often the first thing to go when money gets tight, and people like Carol (and Tom Tomorrow, Derf, Keith Knight, Ted Rall, etc.) are getting cancelled all over the place.  If you have a weekly local paper and they’ve cut the comics, why not send a nauseatingly polite e-mail to the editor of that paper mentioning that the comics are one of the main reasons you pick the things up to begin with?  Doesn’t cost you a dime and it may just convince some of these people to keep going once things get really ugly in a few months.
