We’ve had a lot of fun the past few days, skipping up and down the halls of GoComics.com and making noise, but when I read back over my posts here, I sound something like an old man who just discovered the Worldwide Web. True, online comics and “like” buttons and social media and associated falderal have been around a long time, and I’ve dabbled for years. I think what has changed for me is, I have come to believe what I’ve “known” for a long time but, as an old print journalist, did not really think possible. Newspapers as they have existed truly are on the way out. Digital publishing, mainstream digital publishing, is here and growing. It makes me nervous, but it’s also exciting. It’s fun running around, pushing buttons and marveling at the mystery of it all. However, one thing remains the same. The best thing I can do is to draw the best comic strip I can draw at the given time. So, if you’ll excuse me…

JJ has updated with one that I have somehow forgotten!
Dear Debbe, when we bought our house in 1957 it was painted a very pleasing dark charcoal grey, with a lot of white trim. We liked it so much that we’ve always kept it the same color. It looks good this time too. I have to admit I’m not climbing the stairs much any more, though.
Loved your pun with the bread maker. You have a real gift for words — you have to be born with it!
Symply, the house is a Colonial Revival, built in 1895. It’s a nice comfortable place to live.
Jackie, thanks for the opera story. Sounds like you and Ghost liked it a lot. Thanks for the YouTube link, I’ll look at it tomorrow. Years ago we saw Samuel Ramey on TV, singing the Devil in Boito’s opera on the Faust story. Chris and I were enchanted by this which we’d never heard of before. Ramey was my favorite from then on, he was so good. (My all time favorite is/was Ezio Pinza. How I swooned hearing his recordings from South Pacific.)
