“ Lee Salem signed up “Calvin and Hobbes” and “Cul de Sac” and “For Better or For Worse.” He discovered “The Boondocks” and “Cathy.” He guided “Doonesbury” and “Fox Trot” and “The Far Side,” among many other successful features.”
I just looked at this comic yesterday to see how long it has been since we’ve had a new one. Unfortunately, it takes someone dying to see a new one. Lee Salem seemed like a really nice guy and a great treasure for comics.
Don’t worry, Lee, The Doozies barely exists anymore anyway… :((seriously, though, wish we’d see new ones on days when someone important hasn’t died recently)
