I remeber seeing this in the Seattle Times, infact I cut it out and it still hangs on my apartment door.
Miss you comics, though I have rediscoveried them in cyberspace.

Gay, schmay, it’s all about the funny side of romance. You can keep on sending me any comic you please.

Thanks, Jeff. I just received an e-mail today asking me not to send anymore gay comics. So I appreciate the support!

You’re absolutely right, Norm. This is a gag I created long before it appeared in The Seattle Times. (This version features new, jazzier coloring, though, by my pal Allen Freeman.) I’m re-using old gags a bit more than I’d like at the moment while I catch up to my new three-times a week schedule.

As for content, well, I know that any gay humor makes some people uncomfortable. I don’t actually do a lot of gay/lesbian jokes. (My guess is that it’s only about 10 percent of my output–maybe less.) But that’s too much for some folks–and not nearly enough for others. So I try not to worry about it and just do the gags that work for me.

It appears some of your newer fans, including those at GoComics.com, were not aware of this niche that you have been mining for years (artistically, of course.)

In fact, surely, you had already marketed cards and magnets with this cartoon on them for years before it appeared in the Times.

[OK, I will quit calling your "Shirley," and end this message]

TTFN,

Norm
