Cavna of the Post changes job description
For much of my career, I've been an arts, entertainment and features editor (often between holding down a visual-art career). Come the new year, though, I can look forward to being the FULL-time "Comic Riffs" columnist. My sincere thanks to everyone at The Post, and in the comics community, who has been so supportive of the Riffs journey so far.
