Readers welcome Lynda Barry. Plus: Defending ourselves against air rage; are Elian's relatives unfit guardians?

In Elliott Hester's Cockpit Assault published Saturday, a case involving Christopher Bayes was incorrectly characterized. Following a disputed in-flight incident that forced the landing of a Delta flight, Bayes was convicted of simple assault and sentenced to prison, but has not served prison time. Salon regrets the error.
One Hundred Demons

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I have loved this woman's work for years and years and it's wonderful to see her here.
My favorite cartoon of hers from years past is Poodle with a Mohawk. "He's small. He's black. He's mad as hell. He's Poodle with a Mohawk. You'll never call him Fifi again!"
Lynda Barry is a grand addition to your already grand site.

Oh joy, oh bliss, the radiant Lynda Barry can now be found on Salon!
Thanks for giving this talented "comeek" artist and writer of last year's fiercely beautiful novel, "Cruddy," space in your publication. ("Cruddy" was easily the chewiest, freshest, most devastating novel -- and love letter/suicide note to adolescence -- of last year, in my humble opinion.) Somebody give that book an award.
I'm not her publisher or a relative, just a fan of her work who's happy to see more of it.
-- Cynthia Liu
What's Tagalog for "hubba-hubba"?
You can't imagine how thrilled I was to receive my daily Salon.com e-mail announcing Lynda's new biweekly comic. My sister and I have been huge fans for several years now.
-- Anthony Wilson
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have been absolutely jonesing for some Linda Barry ever since my local weekly dropped "Ernie Pook." You have filled a terrible void in my life.
-- Matthew Anderson
I can't tell you how happy I am to see Lynda Barry's comic in Salon. Thank you for bringing it to us, and in living color, too!
One quibble: I have to wait two weeks for the next strip?!
-- Lisa Beaudry
Kudos on your continued recognition and exposition of good comics. Keep it up, there's plenty more excellent, deserving work out there.
