Michael Jantze, creator of my favorite comic strip The Norm, ends his relationship with King Features later this week, and the daily appearance of The Norm comes to an end. Details are not entirely clear, but at the very least we know that Mr. Jantze is cutting out the middleman and continuing to make The Norm available directly through his web site and online store. How long and in what form he’s able to do that, time will tell. So if you like the strip, it’s all the more important to subscribe and/or buy something. If you don’t like the strip, consider buying me something. :-) Best of luck to him, I think it’s a great move and hope it works out.

I see, too, that he’ll be at FallCon at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds next month. I just might go…
