Steve Breen would really like your assist.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist is the artist behind “Caption It!”, an interactive sketch that asks readers to produce the captions to his drawings. He thinks they’re funnier that approach.

The Journal Sentinel announcement continues with this:
It takes the place of “Doodles”; that interactive puzzle strip ended its run with the dying of cartoonist Christopher Foote, who died in July of a pulmonary embolism at age 62.

In fact it wouldn’t be the primary time a newspaper has hinted {that a} comedian was dropped as a result of the syndicate not provided it, although nonetheless being distributed. Solely the close to future will inform.

Cartoonist Mike Thompson joined him on “Grand Avenue,” and fully took over the strip in 2016. (“Grand Avenue” nonetheless runs every day and Sundays within the Journal Sentinel.)
