By: E&P Staff The Columbus Dispatch has an interview on its Web site with Jim Borgman, creator of the comic strip "Zits" and former editorial cartoonist for The Cincinnati Enquirer for more than 30 years.
The Pulitzer Prize winner discusses his work as an editorial cartoonist (?I probably made my job harder than it needed to be?) and on ?Zits?: ?It's about life with teenagers in the house,? he says. ?It's more about putting an arm around parents and teenagers and saying, ?This is a rocky part of life, and it's always fascinating. You have to smile in order to survive it.??
Borgman also bemoans the shrinking of comic strips on newspaper pages. ?Strips that are ambitious in nature, that have exciting drawings or try to do complex story lines, are in danger of being unreadable,? he says. ?It's very disappointing, but we're all trying to adapt.?
