A recent photo of cartoonist Doug Ogg (Second row, thirty third from the left), meeting with an impromptu assembly of semiprofessional Charlie Chaplin impersonators.
Ogg’s World, a new cartoon panel feature appearing nationally in select alternative newsweeklies, strikes a chord with readers seeking something equal parts original and offbeat.
The comic is the creation of award-winning cartoonist Doug Ogg. “As a long time reader of the alternative press I realized there was a distinct need for this type of feature,” said Ogg from his home in Washington state.
“These are my people,” he added. “We love the unconventional, the quirky, and above all, work that is intelligent and thought-provoking.
“There’s a growing segment of the population that is not being served by the mass media, right down to the comics page. The alternative papers have done a really good job of addressing this editorially, although their cartoon options have been fairly limited,” he added. “Ogg’s World will remedy this.”
Unlike such staples as Tom Tomorrow and Trouble Town, Ogg’s World is not overtly political or topical. “With Ogg’s World everything is possible subject matter,” said Ogg. “I’ve found that readers (of the alternatives) have pretty broad interests. They appreciate the bizarre, the offbeat, and the esoteric. Ogg’s World provides a nice companion to the type of editorial content that sets the alternatives apart.”
... Pop culture, feng shui, Franz Kafka, space aliens, disgruntled bookstore employees, vitriolic clowns, insanity, death, and germs with a sense of manifest destiny – it’s all there in Ogg’s World.
