Buy a poster of last Sunday’s “Inauguration of Barack Obama” cartoon!

Posted on January 22, 2009

Last Sunday’s Candorville was a tribute to everyone who ever fought, struggled, marched or died to make Obama’s inauguration possible. A lot of you (especially teachers who want to hang it in their classrooms) asked me to make it available as a poster, and I’ve done that. You can get your own 11″ by 17″ full color, semi-gloss poster of Sunday’s strip commemorating the inauguration of Barack Obama. I’ll sign it, unless you ask otherwise. Order TODAY and please allow about three weeks for delivery.

The Inauguration of Obama

•In other news, Candorville’s been back in the Seattle Times since Monday the 19th, thanks to everyone who wrote in and asked for it. I can’t thank you enough for showing your support for Candorville. With newspapers dying off, or slashing their features to save whatever money they can, reader feedback means everything.

Candorville Returns to Seattle!

Posted on January 8, 2009

GOOD NEWS, SEATTLE READERS: We’ve just learned that because so many of you wrote in to ask for it, Candorville will return to the Seattle Times this month! It’ll be back starting either the week of the 19th or the 26th. If you want to thank the Times for reconsidering (or ask them to add the full-color Sunday “Candorville” as well), you can write to them at [email protected]. Hundreds of you cc’d me on the notes you sent to the Times, so I can’t thank you all individually. Thank you all for getting Candorville’s year off to a great start.

SEATTLE READERS! The TIMES cancels Candorville. Write in NOW

Posted on December 8, 2008

The Seattle Times CANCELED CANDORVILLE TODAY three weeks ahead of schedule, as part of a redesign. If you’re a Seattle Times reader and you want Candorville BACK in your paper, you’ve got to contact them NOW by writing to [email protected]. Tell them why you want it to stay, what Candorville means to you, and get all your Seattle-area friends, enemies, and exes (now I’m just being redundant) to do the same. Don’t procrastinate, write to them now because now is when they’re paying attention.

Papers cancel a strip to save money because they think readers won’t miss it. If nobody complains, it stays canceled. If enough people protest, they change their mind and return it. The Times canceled Candorville once before, but overwhelming reader response caused them to restore Candorville to the comics page.

If you want that to happen again, WRITE TO THEM NOW!

ATTENTION SEATTLE READERS – Write to the TIMES, now!

Posted on November 11, 2008

ATTENTION SEATTLE READERS:

The Seattle Times is cancelling Candorville as of November 22. If you’re a Seattle Times reader and you want Candorville to stay in your paper, you’ve got to contact them NOW by writing to [email protected]. Tell them why you want it to stay, what Candorville means to you, and get all your Seattle-area friends, enemies, and exes (now I’m just being redundant) to do the same.

This is just Lemont’s luck: every ten steps forward, he runs into one giant leap back. Candorville’s added more than a dozen new papers in the last two months, but losing a voice in Seattle, the largest urban area in the Pacific Northwest, would be awful.

Sometimes papers cancel a strip to save money because they think readers won’t miss it. If nobody complains, it stays canceled. If enough people protest, they change their mind and return it. Other papers have canceled Candorville in the past, but almost every time, reader response has caused them to restore Candorville to the comics page.

If you want that to happen in Seattle, WRITE TO THEM NOW!
