I think Milt received a one-line comment via email sometime in December or January. Anyway, the one-line phrase was less than glowing. So we dug deeper, wrote better strips, changed the look of some characters, worked harder. And we were really poppin . We hit our stride and we were ssssssmokin .
Life is a funny thing.
It can toss you curveballs at the damnedest times. Outside forces beyond our control. Milt simply could not find time to draw the strip. I felt for him, especially when it was clear that it would be an on-going battle for him. Milt s a great guy and a helluva draftsman.
