With the passing of Howie Schneider last week, his feature The Sunshine Club will be retired on September 1.
From Mary Anne Grimes, Executive Director, Public Relations at United Media:
The Sunshine Club came from Howie’s heart and soul – it was his vision. These were his ideas and he was passionate about them. We don’t think anyone else could do it as well, so we’re ending it after running a tribute to Howie with repeats of favorite strips through September 1.
The Sunshine Club currently runs in about 100 newspapers.
