‘Clear Blue Water’ goes Digital
Clear Blue Water, the syndicated comic strip from Karen Montague-Reyes will switch from newspaper syndication via Universal Press Syndicate to a web-only model as of September 28.
The strip began in 2004 and features the semi-autobiographical adventures of Eve Merriweather-Torres and her husband, Manny. The chatty strip has covered every top usually shunned by most strips – sex, religion, and politics. The family of seven includes their son Seth who is autistic which has been the subject of numerous strips
The strip never caught on and Montague-Reyes told Editor & Publisher, the switch "was not my decision, but there is something to be said for having a difficult and inevitable decision made for you."
Clear Blue Water will migrate at month’s end to the still-being-built www.KarenMontagueReyes.com site is currently under construction. "I love cartooning — and my strip, for me, was never about the money. Hopefully, my fans will stay tuned."
Clear Blue Water is my favorite comic strip and i will miss it. Too too bad.
I love the strip and looked forward to every adventure/mis-adventure
I'm glad that http://comicsidontunderstand.com/ mentioned this; Clear Blue Water is one of my favorites, and I had thought that the update delay at yahoo was just a normal glitch. Here's hoping that the web version gets going soon.
This comic has been insightful and humorous for so long. . . .I hated that I couldn't access it at work on break because the security IT felt it was "not appropriate for children". I hope some of the comic sites will pick it back up (I'm with JimJ–yahoo needs to reconnect with it!).
Wah wah boo hooI'll miss you
