American Newspapers to Begin Carrying Manga

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the not-just-for-kids-anymore dept.

jonerik writes to tell us The Associated press is running an article stating that several American newspapers are going to start carrying manga with their normal arsenal of comics. The papers feel that this will help boost their readership amongst a younger audience. The two strips that made the cut are Van Von Hunter, and Peach Fuzz which are both created by American writer/illustrators and are being distributed by Universal Press Syndicate.

    Give the religious right a couple of pages of Fake or Love Hina. They'll soon outlaw everything Japanese and we can all go back to torrenting/imports ;-)

    Well if you like foreigners taking amrican cartooning jobs from hardworking American cartoonists, you'll love this. Yet another example of corporate fat cats taking the bread out of John Q. AmericanCartoonist's mouth, along with mother and baby, by outsourcing his job to some foreign cartoonist. And if Ye Olde Fatte Cats do go ahead with this treasonous plan, they at least could have had the good taste to get rid of Jim Davis. That guy sucks
