• Sometimes, the Internet is actually a SMALL place — Gotta love this one: The writer of “My Cage” was kind enough to contact us today — Ed Power! Ed kindly sent us very nice scans of the strip where he referenced Kevin’s work, and had some other words that we’re sharing with you, directly from his e-mail:

My name is Ed Power. I write a new comic strip from King Features Syndicate called ‘My Cage’ (the artist is Melissa DeJesus of TokyoPop’s ‘Sokora Refugees’ graphic novels).

I live in NJ and am a HUGE Kevin Smith fan, and the strip is based on when he did an actual signing for a video store my wife managed at the time.

Anyway, if you’d like to see more of ‘My Cage’ you can read it for the next couple of months here:

You can also write your local paper to carry us. 🙂 We would LOVE to get in a Jersey paper! We’re in about 40 papers, but none in the NY/NJ area (where both Melissa and I are from).

Yep, King Features has an archive page where you can see the “My Cage” strip mentioning Kevin. Just surf over HERE and select the May 28th comic. You can catch up on this fun new strip free of charge here, and also find more information on the “My Cage” Myspace page.

Thanks to Ed for taking the time to write us, and also to our other scoopers (listed above) who got in touch with us with scans or information on the comic. Let’s support this one, folks! Show some Jersey love and let your local paper know that you want to see “My Cage” in their comics section!
