By the end of the chat, I felt the most significant piece to come out was that Horace LaBadie actually wrote the offending strip.  I know Gene has talked about having writing help, but the last I recall was his son. However, LaBadie is credited on the Syndicate's webpage for the strip at https://www.washingtonpost.com/syndication/comics/barney-clyde/

Comic Riffs recently ran an article about comic strips doing a 9-11 commmemorative. We've got four strip local creators, so I asked them - are you doing a 9-11 strip?



Donna Lewis of "Reply All":



Yes. :-)



USA Today has a preview panel here and they included a panel of mine. :-) (very honored).



Richard Thompson of "Cul de Sac":



No, I didn't do one. I couldn't find a graceful way of putting a 9-11 comment into the small world of Cul de Sac that didn't diminish the commentary and the strip. The one cartoon on 9-11 that's stayed with me over the last decade is a Tom the Dancing Bug from a few weeks after the actual event. It's here. I couldn't offer anything as eloquent as that. For what it's worth I'm going to post three old cartoons I did on 9-11 on my blog.



Gene Weingarten, writer of "Barney & Clyde":



Yep, we have one.



Kevin Rechin, artist of "Crock" could not be reached for comment.

Both Barney & Clyde and Cul de Sac are in the running.  Good luck gentlemen.

 

Help us pick a new comic

For those who aren't on Facebook, or friends of the Barney & Clyde page, I reproduce this note:

I'm not sure the Globe quite knows why they dropped us either -- they liked us. After nine months of gaining papers, it is only our first cancellation, which is unusual for a new strip, and heartening. For those in or around Boston or who might read the Globe online: An email of complaint goes a long way with comics decisions; newspaper editors listen.

R.C. Harvey reviews 'Barney and Clyde' at TCJ.com.

Carry the article to the end to see Rob Tornoe's take on Bucky the cat assailing Cul de Sac's Alice.

Today's Chatalogical Humor is on Gene Weingarten's new comic strip "Barney & Clyde" as well as the quality of early Dennis the Menace.

Updating this a little, Barney and Clyde is a comic about a billionaire and a pauper. It's got a Facebook page now, and will be appearing in the Post when it launches.
