Both camps might be interested in Comic Riffs, a new blog by the Post's Michael Cavna. Cavna, a veteran of the drawing board himself, invites debate on all things cartoon-related, like the merits of "Zits" or "Pearls Before Swine". His anecdotes about Charles Schulz and the near-death of "Mark Trail" are worth a read even for folks who usually skip the funny pages. Comic Riffs will also feature interviews with masters of the trade like "Doonesbury" creator Garry Trudeau. Wondering how the latest "Batman" flick measures up? Comic Riffs covers that, too. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/just-posted/2008/07/funny_business.html http://blog.washingtonpost.com/just-posted/2008/07/funny_business.html Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:31:22 -0400 It may not be a winning season for the Washington Nationals, but their new ballpark is worth a trip anyway.
