My Cage "Classic" 12/17/2007
Added 2021-06-14 04:01:00 +0000 UTCOUR SLYLOCK FOX TEAM-UP! This was some of the most fun I've had creatively. We had to e-mail back and forth with Bob Weber, who is a great guy. And it was all due to the "Comics Curmudgeon" website: www.joshreads.com.

I'm realizing now that I discovered My Cage from CC as well--sadly, only from the goodbye strips, but it made me a longtime fan. I finally got tired of CC, though I didn't want to. I still don't know whether it's that the blog got into a bit of a rut or if it was just that I just needed something more fresh. Part of it was that I liked the one-off mockery but wasn't into a lot of the soap opera strips and found their cast of characters and plot too difficult to follow. Also Foobs ended and it was the one I had a childhood attachment to and a strong love/hate going with. I remember that Josh and his wife moved to LA so he could do more entertainment-business stuff. I hope that's going well for him! Did anyone read "The Enthusiast"? I buy a lot of books but my usual rule is that it's a book a want to reread or it's used (usually both). I usually regret it when I buy a new book I haven't read, even by an author I have really liked in the past, and I couldn't preview it in a bookstore or via the library, so I never ended up pulling the trigger on the purchase. I'd be interested in hearing other reader's takes on it.

I stopped reading CC in 2008 in order to cultivate a more positive attitude, but that didn't stop me from checking out, as you once put it, "cute animals who hate their lives." You know, I hadn't realized before, but Max is channeling Max Bialystock.
