Larry Gonick, of The Cartoon History of the Universe fame, has started a new comic strip for the Discovery Channel website. It’s called Raw Materials and it explains difficult terms like self-preservation algorhythms or nanotechnology to children.
So far, it seems to be looking for its own tone of voice, but I guess it will only take a little time before it shines.

Happy, happy ! While we’re waiting for the collected editions, which should become available from the Times website any time now, Nick Abadzis is making the weekly installments of his comic Trial of the Sober Dog available on his website as soon as they’ve featured in the T2 section of the Times. Spread the word !
As far as I’m concerned, this is the best Mutts storyline so far. It’s got everything : dead pan logic, Beatles, wordplay, and, of course, Earl and Mooch. Patrick McDonnell rules the comics !
