Pressed is a comic strip for people who love newspapers.

Depicting the people behind the news, Pressed shows a reporter

and local politician butting heads,

 a sportswriter trying to be supportive of the local team as

it loses season after season, a photographer trying to get his shot

 while camera hungry people poke their heads in

 to try to get “on TV” and a frequent letter-to-the-editor writer

 venturing out into the blogosphere.

Pressed also offers a comedic look at the

 wider media landscape of 24-hour news cycles,

 Internet “news” and blowhard punditry, as well as the everyday

office politics of adults confined to shared cubicles.

Started in October 2008, Pressed has run daily in the

Lake County News-Sun in Illinois, online and in

 university papers in Madison and Milwaukee.

"Pressed" is a top-notch strip,
but that didn't stop Ryan from going that extra mile
to produce more outstanding fun.
