I just got an email from my friend Shena about an interview with Garfield creator Jim Davis. She said that Jim mentioned PvP. I checked out the interview at the Universal Press website.

Q: What’s the last time you laughed out loud over a comic strip that another cartoonist did?

A: “It was just a few weeks ago. The strip is PVP (Player vs. Player) by Scott Kurtz. His timing is flawless. PVP isn’t in newspapers, it’s online! Some of the sharpest stuff is being done online by some very talented, young artists. They keep me looking over my shoulder.”

it bears mentioning that my decision to become a cartoonist was made in the 4th grade, after my mother bought me the first Garfield book. So this is such an incredible honor to have Jim Davis say something so kind about my work.

It’s also good to see that SOMEBODY in the print world not only “gets” online comics, but embraces it instead of fearing it.

My day is officially MADE!
