After getting his start in alt-weekly cartooning with a strip in the San Francisco Bay Guardian in 1988, Lloyd Dangle is retiring his Troubletown comic.
Earlier this month, syndicated cartoonist Lloyd Dangle released his latest collection of "Troubletown" comic strips, Troubletown Told You So: Comics That Could've Saved Us From This Mess. With an introduction by the Stranger's Dan Savage, the book "captures the current situation in America, a moment in time that will go down in history as our country's most boneheaded," Dangle says in a statement. "Crude comics full of insults and nasty takedowns are the only fitting way to explain it." First published in the San Francisco Bay Guardian in 1988, "Troubletown" now appears in over a dozen AAN member papers.
