   I find the respect shown to the cartoonists by the newspapers, the syndicates and the public in these early strips to be quite a revelation. Photos of the artists show up frequently and credit is always given, sometimes with glowing praise! This was not true later, especially in comic books where writers and artists could toil for decades in anonymity. When and why did things change to make it so popular to start dissing cartoonists?

   Good question. I’ve tried zooming in on the box several different ways and I still can’t read it. The bottom word looks like “strip” but I haven’t been able to even guess what it could be. I suppose sometime a light bulb will go on over our heads and we’ll figure out logically what it must be.
