WaPo letters on comics formatting and Ellis Rosen cartoons, also Edith Pritchett

The Post published 2 letters about 2 of the 3 issues I ranted about a week ago. See the Daily Cartoonist's summary here, also because they properly identified the strip scrunched into Reply All Lite's space as an old Scary Gary strip.

The two letters are;

Monumentally confusing [Ellis Rosen]

We got it to fit — but it wasn't fit to print

Ted White,

Washington Post May 27 2023: A15

online at https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/05/26/reader-critiques-cleopatra-was-not-black/


Taking them in reverse order, Ted White is a former editor of Heavy Metal who doesn't have anything nice to say about the strip and calls it usually incomprehensible and 'assembled from stock bits on a computer.' Actually, Donna Lewis DOES draw it, but on a computer. The continuing sticking point to me is that the Post STILL identifies the strip as being Reply All Lite in its credits!


The first letter is in favor of Ellis Rosen's cartoon of the relaxing Washington Monument. This past week, WaPo published 2 more of Mr. Rosen's cartoons as 'editorial' cartoons, which they are STILL not. They're gag cartoons, or pocket (if you're British). One is a grey aliens gag about being quick in an abduction to get home early. The other is a family on a game show trying to get out a door while their two small children run around.


I'm perfectly ok with the Post giving Bezos' money to Rosen - just stop calling him an editorial cartoonist and running these on the editorial page. They would be just fine on the comics page or any other page on the paper.


Speaking of semi-editorial cartoons, this piece is also listed as an editorial cartoon - it comes a bit closer if you're Entertainment Weekly, which used to publish similar material by Barry Blitt early in his career. Again, does it deserve to be on the editorial pages of the Post? I think rather Style or Weekend would be appropriate. They also did her the disservice of printing it in black and white.
