Comic Riffs is a blog devoted to you, the comics fan. Come in, sit down and put your feet up as we celebrate, contemplate, eviscerate and pontificate on cartoons -- focusing on daily comics but also addressing other art forms. Each and every day, we'll critique something from that morning's comic pages. We'll also conduct reader polls, offer regular interviews with cartoonists, swap news about the industry and discuss trends and buzz within the field. So make yourself at home and reply vociferously with your own comic opinions -- the never-shy Garfield and Bucky Katt would want it that way.
About the Blogger
Michael Cavna is a recovering cartoonist and editor in The Washington Post's Style section. His syndicated cartoons have appeared in such newspapers as The Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Dallas Morning News, the Miami Herald, the San Francisco Chronicle, San Diego Union-Tribune and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Everyone from former President Jimmy Carter to Neil Diamond has framed his original artwork -- happy to have the extra income, Cavna places no value judgment on anyone who pays in cash. His favorite compliment came from "Peanuts" creator Charles M. Schulz, who told Cavna at a black-tie awards dinner: "You do funny things"; to this day, he does not know for certain whether Schulz was referring to Cavna's topical comic strip "Warped" or to his tragically askew cummerbund.
