Launched in September 2003 by The Washington Post Writers Group, Candorville features young black and Latino characters living in the inner city.
[2] Candorville grew out of a comic strip called Lemont Brown, which appeared in the student newspaper of UC Berkeley, The Daily Californian, from 1993 to 2003.
[citation needed] It also runs in Spanish-language newspapers where it is translated by the author's wife, Laura Bustamante.
[citation needed] Candorville and Bell's other strip, Rudy Park, exist in a shared universe.
In June 2018, Bell ended Rudy Park, although characters from that strip will continue to appear in Candorville.
