Comics

One of my regular webcomic reads, Garfield Minus Garfield, just signed a book deal. What I really find cool is that Jim Davis is entirely onboard with it, when he could have just as easily gotten all lawsuit-y.

I don’t know what the general trend is, but it seems like more than a few comic authors have a good sense of humor about their strips. Check out this entry from the Sally Forth author’s blog, along with the resulting awesomeness (scroll to the bottom of the entry). And of course, it’s a well-documented fact that Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, is awesome (no specific entry in mind… just a generally excellent blog).

So I guess that’s three authors. And we’ll count Bill Watterson and Gary Larson, too, because they must be awesome. Right?
