Clearing out some bookmarked items.
The Blount County Daily Times has a nice write-up about Dave and Doreen Dotson and their long-running (15 years?) weekly comic strip Outzkirts. Unfortunately we only get one look at the article and then it goes behind a paywall. So I am unable to quote from the article.
But here’s a profile from a 2007 issue of Christian Examiner.
David and Doreen Dotson of French Valley are more than just partners in marriage. They started cartooning together shortly after meeting and marrying at a Calvary Chapel in 1990.
Their first strips were “Sports Barbs,” a sports-oriented cartoon, and “Jonah’s Journey,” a faith-based strip. The couple teamed up again to create “Outzkirts”—a family-friendly cartoon strip that brings wholesome entertainment to readers of all ages. Doreen draws and David does the gags.
