   Every day I look forward to the art in this strip—world class-! (Especially in B+W.) I wonder if the creators / illustrators are monitoring this blog—if so, I have some production questions to ask—thanks for giving TRACY that respect he’s earned all these decades—cheers—

   Been following this strip since the 50’s. I once made a pilgrimage to the Jewish Museum in NYC, then across the river in NJ, to view original art boards by Chester Gould (among other cartoonist heroes of mine).

I have spent my life trying to preach that cartoon illustrators are as relevant as any working artists on the planet. Staton & Curtis: thanks, maestros. And a tip o’ the yellow fedora to GoComics.
