Artist and journalist Michael Cavna entered daily syndication in late 1996 with his topical comic strip "Warped." For seven years, he sat at the drawing board every day producing the strip. Cavna folded "Warped" in 2003, partially because he'd said all that he wanted to say artistically, but also because it was becoming more difficult for artists to expand their audiences through newspaper syndication. Since folding "Warped," Cavna has continued his connection with newspapers as a writer and editor. Currently, he writes the weekly comics and graphic novel column Comic Riffs for The Washington Post.
