Agreed. This is probably better filed under the “general news category”, if there is one.
Although Ted Rall is political, and some of the strips in Attitude III are too, most of us aren’t doing strictly political humor and some of us never do it at all. They were also looking for social commentary and a certain twistedness/edginess/subversiveness, whatever. It’s mostly strips which do (or could) appear in alternative weekly newspapers. I suggested quite a few webcomics which were not chosen by the editors, such as Sordid City Blues, Splendid Everlasting, Monkey Law, and maybe a dozen others. I’m really pleased with this final group, though.
