Tom Tomorrow has announced on his blog that his alternative comic This Modern World will be returning to the Village Voice as of yesterday. Last spring, the paper announced it was temporarily dropping all comics to cut money for at least one quarter, but extended the suspension.
From his blog:
I really didnâ??t expect this, and I just have to say thank you to the people who went out of their way to make it happen. If youâ??re a Voice reader, or even just a fan of cartooning, please do me a favor and take a moment to express your appreciation for the decision. Altweekly cartooning overall has kind of been on the ropes for the past year or two, and any editor who takes a stand in support of the art form deserves profound thanks. This is a first step, but itâ??s a huge one in the right direction â?? for me personally, of course, but with any luck, for other cartoonists as well. Especially if the Voice gets enough positive feedback on this, so go â?? show them some love.
It’s always nice to wake up and read good news on The Daily Cartoonist.
