We’re working on a show for the end of the summer called “Big Funny,” which will be a big newspaper, filled with full-page comic art like they used to appear in the early 1900s. It was intended to be purely a celebration of the American Comic Strip, but it looks like it might wind up being a commemorative collaboration in honor of a dying media as well.
