Hey kids, 
So sorry this is up late. I’m still in SDCC mode! Doh!
M-
Hello Autograph Hounds!  I hope you all had a tremendous week, personally and at the mailbox.  I am truly grateful to be able to once again, write this weekly post.  Troy and ACE had set the bar extremely high, I am amazed by the support and great comments I have received the last few weeks.  I hope this week continues to help bring ttm successes to each and every one of you…
So lets get to it.  I read this week that another childhood staple, the New York Daily news is having financial issues and has issued a massive layoff. As a kid (I just turned 41 sunday)  the daily paper was a must have.  But as a child it meant something different to us than our parents…. The Daily Funnies!
This first comic artist was my absolute favorite.  Drawing since 1978, from Marion, In.   He is the Creator of the funniest, lasagna eating, spider hating, laziest cat in comics… Garfield!

This next artist, started back in 1960 as a writer for Hallmark greeting cards.  It wasn’t until 1970 that the Chicago Tribune picked up his cartoon strip of Broom Hilda, that his career finally took off.

These next two cartoonist, are famous for drawing the same character.  Dennis the Menace was the original Mayhem.  Not only brought to life everyday in the papers, but he also had his own tv show, and movies to follow.  Just watch out for that slingshot in his back pocket, and lord help MR WILSON!!!!!!!

Our next artist got his start in the Daily Orange, the Syracuse University paper. First writing a strip called Hector, sadly it failed to reach a bigger audience.  He quickly changed directions and never looked back.  Telling the story of an young African American couple Officer Joe and Marcy Cobb and their 4 children Sunny, Jojo and twins Tommi and Teddy.  Jump Start entered Syndication in 1989
