What started as “a typical hack ‘lawyer in hell’ joke, done a million times,” has turned a fledgling comic strip artist into a published author.
Keith Brown, of Marshall, today will celebrate the debut of “The Wages of Sin! Genesis — The Birth of a Cartoon Strip,” a compilation book of the first 100 entries of his comic featuring the Devil and the netherworld’s workplace frustrations. The strip got its start when Brown was providing weekly local editorial cartoons for the Democrat a couple of years ago. A gag about a record heat wave — and the Devil contemplating a lawsuit for trademark infringement — slowly evolved into a concept for a comic strip.
