A huge thank you to all the artists contributing! We will raise money for some terrific children’s charities in Wisconsin/
And a huge thank you to the NCS Foundation – this is really their baby!
Oops! Left “Lio” off the list!
Will there be a catalog published? ;0)
Sorry about the delay in getting that LIO Sunday strip to you, Anne! I hope to be shipping it out this weekend! When I ship, I’ll email you a tracking number.
Thanks so much Mark!
Mark, I’m still waiting for that 4/11/2010 “Heart of the City” for the One Fine Sunday exhibit. Good luck, Anne!
Yeah, I know, John! Unfortunately, you are asking for a specific strip! You can’ expect me to find that in my Pit of Despair, can you? I can’t even find my car keys.
