On April 6, Scott Hilburn's daily panel cartoon, The Argyle Sweater, celebrated its first anniversary with Universal
Press Syndicate (UPS). The cartoon first appeared in December 2006 at the
UPS-sponsored website for unpublished cartoonists, Comics Sherpa, and then at
GoComics, another UPS-inspired website (this one, in fact). Often
compared to Gary Larson’s Far Side, Argyle Sweater is now published by more than 200
newspapers across the United States saith a news release from the
syndicate. A situational cartoon involving dogs, cats, cops, bees, wolves, game
shows, bears, telephones, sports, zebras, nursery-rhyme icons and cavemen not
to mention the occasional evil scientist, The
Argyle Sweater: A Cartoon Collection, Hilburn's first compilation, was
released last month by Andrews McMeel Publishing, another of the many UPS
entities.
