   Zima wasn’t available in the US of A until the early 90s. This memory is mid to late 80s. When shown the cartoon, Rita didn’t remember what it was.

   Cruella’s hair is black on one side and white on the other. But you get the idea what kind of a warm, loving mother she is.

   I find plenty of humor. I guess it depends on how you define it and what you’re looking for. There are sight gags, prop gags, meta gags, personality conflicts. Fritzi its funnier than she used to be.

   There were also the writers and artists who produced the comic books. Oona Goosepimple originated there, and did not appear in the strip until Gilchrist started using her.

   Bushmiller inherited Fritzi from another cartoonist, Larry Whittington, in the 1920s. He made his own mark on the strip when he created Fritzi’s niece, Nancy, and later Nancy’s friend, Sluggo. Nancy eventually took over center stage, and the title. Fritz went from being an ingenue pursuing an acting career to a parental figure, and the strip evolved from continuities to the gag-a-day format we most associate with it.

   I don’t know if John knows, since I do the tech end of everything. But yes, I know full well. A couple of times the problem was the file name being wrong. Sunday, I don’t know what went wrong. I uploaded several times.

    The only thing I’d like to see less of is the robot club.
