Candorville (12/19/08)

Candorville has spent the past week showing comics legends testifying on the need for a bailout of their industry. These strips have been interesting, if only because it’s fun to see a cartoonist draw a well-known character from another strip. I’m particularly taken with today’s rendering of Dagwood, who seems quite comfortable playing the role of a spoiled aristocrat. It’s strange to say, but his reminiscing about the Great Depression seems truer to life than his continued sandwich antics in the panels of Blondie.
