Comics Book Bin briefly interviews Megan Kelso on the subject of her new strip for the Funny Pages in the New York Times:
“Watergate Sue” is about a woman who is the mother of a small child who becomes obsessed with the Watergate scandal as it unfolds. It will run one page every Sunday for six months starting April 1.
CBB: Do you have any worries about presenting your work to what might be a largely new audience for you?
KELSO: I’m incredibly nervous about it. It has a potentially huge audience given how many people read the Times—but of course all those people probably won’t actually read it. It’s a weird feeling. When someone buys a book, they usually read the whole thing, but not so with a newspaper.

The New York Times Sunday Magazine is worth the $3.00 cost of the newspaper. I read most of it, although I do skip over the fiction.
I suspect that most readers will at least glance at the comic, it being visual.
I collected every single one of the series. This strip was fantastic.
Whoa….check out this page…hmmm, and I thought this was only for the kids
