Loved this! Just wondering: why were there no author/artist credits on the A&E page?
Posted by: Satchel | January 09, 2010 at 02:59 PM
I leave my credits off the A&E version of the strip on purpose, actually. This is probably a stupid decision, but here's the reasoning behind it:
"Mr. Do & Mr. Don't" is, in part, a spoof of "Goofus & Gallant" from Highlights for Children magazine -- and nothing in Highlights has a byline because they're trying to make everything speak to children with a sort of disembodied institutional "voice of authority."
That's why I leave the byline off "Mr. Do & Mr. Don't": It cracks me up that a strip like that would be created by the disembodied voice of A&E -- as if this were how The Oregonian itself were teaching people to behave.
A bit on the conceptual side, I suppose, but that's what I'm thinking....
