News Summary

• Mark Parisi is the creator of the long-running syndicated comic panel Off The Mark.
• His newest comic series is built around one deceptively simple question: “What are you listening to?” Much of the humor comes from Parisi’s ability to treat music not just as a soundtrack, but as a personality trait.
• The four-panel structure also gives the comics a fast rhythm, allowing different generations, fandoms, and musical tastes to collide inside a single gag.
