remember reading an interview with Frank Cho (Sketch Magazine #12) and 
he mentions how overly sensitive and annoying  the editors from his 
syndicate were. In fact, he mentions a few times where the editors 
would make changes behind his back. This motivated Cho to end Liberty 
Meadow's run as a comic strip and make the transition to the comic book 
format over at Image Comics.>>

the fact that while attractive looking, his strip just wasnt (to me) very 
funny or very interesting (even the censored ones) may have something to do with 
his strips lack of success in the  newspaper marketplace. Of course i am 
several decades older than the target audience for this strip ....so it wasnt meant 
to appeal to me....

  comic strips are a tough sell in today's market - a recent newspaper chain 
in the USA (knight-rider?) has stated they plan to drop 1/3 of their comics 
unless they get a 1/3 price cut....!  Newspaper editors are a notorious nervous 
lot, and what is good for movies or tv, isnt quite right for papers....

  so when was the last Mickey strip?   who's currently doing Donald? anyone 
got a link to today's strip?  Is the sunday strip still running? any other 
current Disney strips?
