I was on stage at the Reubens a couple hours ago with Lalo giving a talk about “edgy” minority cartoonists. It really drove home the need for such a panel when I looked out at the audience (of about 100) and noticed they were ALL white. But the thing is, I know syndicate execs and sales people, and I know a few editors — and they’re just as eager as I am to see more minorities on the comics pages. So if you’re a woman or a member of any minority, now’s your chance. The door is wide open for you. The climate is nothing at all like it was when I was trying to break in 6 years ago…
