ABOUT CANDORVILLE
An educated underachiever, Lemont Brown is an aspiring writer. Socially conscious, he wants to work at changing the world and infusing it with wisdom and justice-if only he could pay his rent. Lemont's childhood friend Susan Garcia is a book-smart and street savvy Mexican-American woman who won't let bigotry or any glass ceiling keep her down. And Lemont's friend Clyde (aka "C-Dog") is a streetwise thug and undiscovered rapper who'd rather mooch off his mother than get a job. Together they try to make their dreams come true in a Big City that sometimes seems to have other plans for them -- and in a country gone wild, where illegal wiretapping, secret prisons, rigged voting machines, and Tom Cruise are all considered normal, and the Declaration of Independence has become a "whiny Liberal conspiracy theory."
Candorville appears in the largest papers in America, such as the Washington Post, the LA Times, Chicago Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, Seattle Times, Dallas Morning News, Detroit Free Press, Rocky Mountain News, Al Dia (Dallas Morning News Spanish edition), Stars & Stripes and many others...
Candorville appeals to socially-conscious readers everywhere and has steadily built a loyal following wherever it appears. Syndicated worldwide by The Washington Post Writers Group since 2003, Candorville was one of few comic strips to launch in both English and Spanish.
