  2. Oops! Left “Lio” off the list!

  3. Will there be a catalog published? ;0)

  4. 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.

  6. Mark, I’m still waiting for that 4/11/2010 “Heart of the City” for the One Fine Sunday exhibit. Good luck, Anne!

  7. 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.
