Above is Crystal's Critters, a strip that I entered into the "America's Next Great Cartoonist" contest by the Washington Post. I didn't make the top 10, but it sure was fun doing the strip. My daughter was a big influence on characters, names and gag ideas. Be sure you check out the top 10 and vote for your favorite. http://postfun.washingtonpost.com/post/entry/americas-next-great-cartoonist-vote
