Clay Invades Utah

I have clients all over the country.  I’m not trying to brag too much.  I also lose clients all over the country (you’re too liberal!!!).  I lost one this week in Tennessee.  I also picked up papers in Indianapolis, Wyoming, California and Washington.  I get excited about each one.  I’m also excited about picking up a paper in Utah, The Independent in St. George, Utah.  I did a little googling and it’s in Southern Utah and it’s really pretty.  Lots of red rocks.

I have an ex girlfriend in Utah who’s been asking me when will I have a client in Utah.  I didn’t hold out hopes.  My cartoons, while running in a few red states and even a few conservative papers, don’t really latch on.  I’ve lost two clients in Texas and I’m probably about to lose a third.

This paper in Utah is a little different.  It’s a college town and they even ran a small feature about adding me to their lineup.  Well they haven’t seen anything like me before.  We’ll see where they stand after two months of hate mail from angry Mormons.

Why is my Cliven Bundy Ranch cartoon posted here?  The editor at The Independent asked if I had anything that covered Southern Utah.  I was thinking “right.  I’m gonna cover a Utah issue.”  Then I remembered my ex (a lovely woman who got smart and married someone else) mentioning to me when the cartoon originally ran how readers in her state thought of it was a regional issue.  So I sent that.

I’m posting this today to ask my readers, you, to click their link.  The Independent.  Show them that there’s a fan base for my cartoons.  This is where all you Daily Kos readers, Twitter and Facebook friends can come in and make an impact.

Check out the new client.  I may be doing some exclusive cartoons for them in the future.  Now if all my clients ran a little feature about me I’d create blog posts for them too.  I already share every link I can find carrying my cartoons so I can give a little support to those sites.
