Day by Day

Dean Esmay has a post up over at Blogcritics. It’s an interview with Chris Muir, the author of my favorite strip, Day by Day. It’s a fascinating article that covers Chris’s influences, motivation and techniques, as well featuring a lot of his work.

I’ve heard a number of people compare Day by Day to Doonesbury, but to me Gary Trudeau’s current work looks tired by comparison. Doonesbury embodies political correctness; Day by Day pokes good-natured fun at it. It’s a mainstream strip set in the modern world.

It’s hard to believe it’s only been running twelve months, and even harder to believe it’s not yet been picked up for syndication.
