'NEXT GREAT CARTOONIST': 'IMOGEN QUEST' creator never met-a gag she didn't like

By


Here's today's "IMOGEN QUEST" comic from Olivia Walch, the 21-year-old winner of The Post's "America's Next Great Cartoonist Contest." So, what's the story -- if not the meta-story -- behind today's comic?

"I stated from the the beginning that whenever I could not come up with an idea, I would go with a cheap meta-gag," Walch tells Comic Riffs. "And lo, I have gone for the cheap meta-gag.

"This is another one from the Greco-Roman week."

If you have feedback about "Imogen Quest's" monthlong run in Style and on Comic Riffs, feel free to share your impressions.
