closeA new comic strip is coming to the Herald starting Monday.
F Minus, Tony Carillo’s off-kilter look at our world and the folks who try to survive in it, is a single panel strip created by a guy who says he’s been “a pizza cook, website designer, dancing costumed character, portrait artist, insurance drone, waiter, custom framer, camel ride attendant at the zoo and the guy at the airport that waves orange wands at the airplanes.”
All that was before he started drawing his award-winning strip. The former Arizona State University student won a 2004 contest through mtvU, the 24-hour college network and the chance to sign a deal with United Media for his comic strip.
Carillo says his comic combines two of the three things he loved most while he was growing up — comedy and drawing. (The third was knife throwing, and sometimes that sneaks into his work as well.)
F Minus replaces Mutts, which will go into hiatus. The Herald’s readers have not indicated any special affiliation with Mutts in the several years since it debuted on our comics page, so we decided to try something new.
As always, we welcome reader comment via e-mail, snail mail or phone.
