I’ll be quite honest. The whole push that Universal has given “In The Sticks,” and the Trojan Norse that Nathan pulled, has seriously soured me on the syndicate. I’m still working without a contract, and if they had pulled today’s strip and run the “Fuzzy Bunny Time” instead like I half suspected they would do, I would have ended the strip after next week. At least they are willing to go to bat for my creative freedom as much as they are Nathan’s; too many media outlets are too quick to silence left-wing points of view today.
Still, if another syndicate or even a single paper comes to me with a print deal at this point, I’ll take them up on it. Or if John Glynn comes to me with an extended contract or a print deal, I’ll sign back up with Universal but without the joy that was behind my original three year deal.
