When I moved to Minneapolis to go to Bible school, I started reading the The Minneapolis Star and Tribune in the morning before class. I actually just read the comics. I found a new comic there called The Norm and I’ve been following it as it paralleled my life (sometime it paralleled closer than other times — if that’s possible) for the past seven years. I missed the first year of The Norm’s existance, and now after eight years, Michael Jantze, the creator, has ended his syndication with King Features and is ready to try it on his own.

The Norm

The catch is, being the creator of a web comic doesn’t pay as much as national syndication. He’s (or rather, his wife’s) looking for more people to subscribe to the extended features of the website to make continuing the Norm a viable option. I dunno if that’s going to happen, so, it’s best that you check out The Norm while you still can.
