My lifetime ambition was and still is to have a syndicated comic strip. Now that the newspapers have began to disappear, it becomes a virtual dream. I did have a comic in my local paper run 6 days a week for over 3 years and it was a great experience. I discovered that writing is the key to a great comic, and I had spent much of my time developing my art skills. My loss could be your gain, if you happen to have a great idea for a comic and the writing chops to go with it! I actually proposed to my wife by placing a comic of her and I with me popping the question.
