My idea for the newspapers

I have an idea for the New York Times. I haven't approached them, and I know they don't run comics, but I see three general interest single panel comics stretching across the bottom of one page on a daily basis, maybe Monday through Friday in the general news section, Section A. I see myself as one of the cartoonists and Tomversation as being one of the comics. I think each one would be 3 inches square stripped across the bottom of a page, they would run in full color and three of us would fill that space daily, me and two other cartoonists.

I think it would be new, unique and cool and something that they had not done before.

I'm always talking with the Miami Herald about being published daily, their main concern is dropping comics. That is their biggest headache. That is the biggest headache for most daily newspapers - dropping one comic for another comic. They don't want to upset a handful of readers. I think they are depriving most of the readers of something new and fresh and probably better and funnier, but that handful of readers (read three) are the ones dictating what is printed on the comics pages. My goal is to change that.

Anyway, I'm just putting this out there into The Universe.
