Name Change Coming for 'Gene Pool' Comic

By: E&P Staff The "Out of the Gene Pool" comic will be renamed "Single and Looking," effective July 30.

"This is a natural progression," said cartoonist Matt Janz. "Over the past five years, some of my characters moved to the forefront while others faded into the background. I started focusing on the lives of my most popular characters and, since most of them happend to be single -- and looking -- I found myself writing more dating-oriented material."

Janz's comic is syndicated by the Washington Post Writers Group.
