Excuse me, but I had understood years ago that Mr Gilbert discontinued his works. Is this cartoon recent or a resurrection of a past cartoon, because I had never seen this one before. That said, I think Mr Gilbert is a graphic art genius, and I’d hate to think that he’s burned out. I have all the collections I got on Amazon, but I haven’t had a chance to go thru them all — saving them for “dessert,” I suppose, but I’d like to believe that he is back in business. I was fearful that he put so much into his artwork, especially facial expressions, that he would burn out. “Say it ain’t so!” Derel Schrock, Edmond OK
