Donna Lewis' Reply All comic strip launches
Washington continues to be an incubator for comics strips, and they're not coming from the University of Maryland's Diamondback (Liberty Meadows, Boondocks, Watch Your Head) all the time now.
Local cartoonist Donna Lewis' Reply All comic strip will launch soon from the Washington Post Writer's Group. The strip is described as "Reply All is about those moments in today's information-overloaded environment when you forget your adult-self and toss the megaphone to your fifth-grade inner child. The strip explores the value of honesty, the power of knowledge and the impact of a bad-hair day on one's self-perception." It launches on February 28. Donna recently told me that she's reworking her earlier webcomics because she thinks her art has improved.
Congratulations, Donna! My interview with her quoted in the PR is here.

LaSalle's Legacy, local webcomic
Jennifer Z Smith wrote in to tell me about her webcomic - "It's a manga-inspired fantasy graphic novel entitled "LaSalle's Legacy"
I've only just started looking at it, but the strip looks like fun with nice clean art. Check it out.
