I can’t imagine turning the strip, which is so personal to me, over to anyone else, and my syndicate is not planning on running reruns. The last Stone Soup strip will appear on July 26, when I will officially jump off the funny pages. My book collections will still be available for a while (Amazon and elsewhere) and GoComics will be running Stone Soup Classics for a long long time.

Blog postIf you were lucky enough to attend (and survive) the San Diego Comic-Con, I'm hoping you ran across the National Cartoonist Society booth and were able to get one of the fabulous t-shirts they had for attendees. This year's theme is Wonder Woman. The NCS will also be at the New York Comic-Con, so you've got another shot at getting one.

Blog postI am so ashamed of my country right now. And I am very, very sad.
Our new administration is choosing to strand thousands of desperate people who need our shelter. Many of them have already obtained the legal documents they need to be in the US, but because of a rash, poorly thought out executive order, our borders, and the lives of thousands, have been thrown into chaos.
