Thanks! I'll keep that Hive comic strip idea in my back pocket. I have a few writing projects I'm wrapping up now. After these are finished I might just try my hand at drawing one again.
Physical newspapers are just a shadow of their former selves. They're so thin and mainly just national stories from the Associated Press, there's very little in the way of local news like there used to be. It's funny that you correlated comics with memes because that's pretty much what a meme is. So much info can be conveyed with a single picture and just a few words.
