Sally Forth (Greg Howard Comic Strip)
''Sally Forth'' is a daily comic strip created by Greg Howard in 1982 and distributed by King Features Syndicate, focusing on the life of an American middle-class mother at home and work. Sally's name is a play on words: "to sally forth" means to set out on an adventure. In 1991 Craig MacIntosh began doing the drawing. In 1999, Howard quit writing as well and turned the task of writing the strip over to Francesco Marciuliano and Steve Alaniz. Jim Keefe took over the artwork in 2013 from Craig MacIntosh, with Marciuliano continuing to write after Alaniz retired from full-time work on ''Sally Forth''. It is unrelated to an earlier comic of the same name, which was created for armed forces publications in 1968 and featured a sexy action-adventure character who is often depicted nude. Characters Sally and her family *Sally Forth (née Jansen) – The main character, a 40-year-old HR manager with a husband and daughter. She wryly comments on the eccentric behavior of those a ...

Markstein, the sole writer and editor of Toonopedia, termed it "the world's first hypertext encyclopedia of toons" and stated, "The basic idea is to cover the entire spectrum of American cartoonery." Markstein began the project during 1999 with several earlier titles: he changed Don's Cartoon Encyberpedia (1999) to Don Markstein's Cartoonopedia (2000) after learning the word "Encyberpedia" had been trademarked. During 2001, he settled on his final title, noting, "Decided (after thinking about it for several weeks) to change the name of the site to Don Markstein's Toonopedia, rather than Cartoonopedia. Better rhythm in the name, plus 'toon' is probably a more apt word, in modern parlance, than 'cartoon', for what I'm doing." Comic strips Toonopedia author Donald David Markstein (March 21, ...

Metafiction
Metafiction is a form of fiction that emphasizes its own narrative structure in a way that inherently reminds the audience that they are reading or viewing a fictional work. Metafiction is self-conscious about language, literary form, and storytelling, and works of metafiction directly or indirectly draw attention to their status as artifacts. Metafiction is frequently used as a form of parody or a tool to undermine literary conventions and explore the relationship between literature and reality, life and art. Although metafiction is most commonly associated with postmodern literature that developed in the mid-20th century, its use can be traced back to much earlier works of fiction, such as '' The Canterbury Tales'' (Geoffrey Chaucer, 1387), ''Don Quixote'' Part Two (Miguel de Cervantes, 1615), '' Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz'' ( Johann Valentin Andreae, 1617), '' The Cloud Dream of the Nine'' ( Kim Man-jung, 1687), '' The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, G ...
