Thom Zajac began publishing the Santa Cruz Comic News in September of 1984. Now in its 40th year, each issue of the Comic News features well over 100 cartoons from the nation’s leading political cartoonists. The Comic News is the longest running cartoon newspaper and granddaddy of them all, having inspired over 100 copycat publications, many of which are still going to this day. Thom has adapted to changing technology and media markets over the decades, and the Comic News website now features weekly updates and highlighted cartoonists, among other things, while the print edition continues to grace local newsstands.
