re: Star Wars strip-
(Holding up a beer) Here’s to you, guy.
That was one of the funner bits I’ve seen in a while. (Especially the
gentle kick-in-the-knee to the one guy in Hollywood who would laugh with
you, which would be Kevin Smith.)
I assume you’ve avoided the new cartoon movie, too.

My younger daughter turned 16 yesterday; my older daughter is leaving home
day-after-tomorrow. We’ve been in a record heat wave. I shopped ahead. I started
baking before the heat of the day. Two layers, each sliced in two, filled, frosted and
chilled in a struggling dripping fridge. It is time to celebrate. I remember:
Candles!@#$? I look in the cupboard… and find two new packages, untouched, pearly
white, two packs of eight!
Keith, I’m sure you can reduce this to something universal. In case it is not clear,
I’ll tell you that yesterday this seemed a MAJOR victory! Thank you for your work, your
art, your expression of our fears and reminder of our joys.

Hey Keith, I’ve been meaning to drop you a line for a while now. my
girlfriend (now wife) bought me one of your books 3 years ago and I’ve
been hooked ever since. she’s from san fran I’m from utah we met in
new england and are now living in DC. we got a lot of strange looks as
an interracial couple but now that we’re married, people actually
look at us and smile. love the strip, I have them all now and love the
band. anything new on the horizon?
at a recent game with a topic of famous people i tried
to depict you, unsuccessfully. The new in-laws said it wasn’t fair
because you weren’t famous . I beg to differ, in my world your very
famous. keep up the good work and if your ever in DC look me up.

Hey Keith,
I am one of those old comic strip lovers. I have every
Trudeau/Doonesbury book and a hundred more from people like Addams and
Bizarro. I find the humor lifts the day and like your stuff gets me to
laugh and think at the same time but not necessarily in that order.
What got me to write was the “Hi-lingual” strip. As the T&D director of
a truly multi-national company and having to deal with the world
population every day, I love that strip and would love to share it with
some of my colleagues.
Should you find yourself in the Seattle area and need a tour guide, me
and the Mrs. would love to play host but in the meantime, keep on
cranking out the good stuff and hope the Seattle PI will keep your strip
running.
Cheers,
L.
