Kirk Walters launches new local weekly comic
Skip to commentsThe Blade (Toledo, OH) editorial cartoonist Kirk Walters has started a new weekly comic called Frogtown which debuted in his paper on Sunday. The comic is the latest local comics that he’s done. Previously he also produced Maumee Dearest which has had a 20 year run.
Frogtown is described as a “a slice-of-life cartoon about the little things in life.”
It features a 35-year-old down-on-his-luck father, Scooter McFlak, who recently lost his job, his marriage, and his home. Scooter decides to pack up his belongings and move with his 7-year-old son, Mikey, out of Miami and back to his hometown of Toledo to live with his father, Jack McFlak. If that name sounds familiar, it?s because Jack is also the featured character in Maumee Dearest. Jack has just settled into his life as a widower and is growing to appreciate having the home to himself. ?If he puts a remote control down on the table, he knows that?s where it will be the next day.
The feature runs a quarter page on Sundays. According to Editor and Publisher, Prince Valiant was dropped to make room.
