The cartoon editor who brought this about was Jay Kennedy. Because we had worked together previously, Jay called me to request submissions. Later on Jay became editor-in-chief at King Features Syndicate, and he included me in their anthology comic panel, The New Breed. He was also sitting on a new comic proposal of mine at the time of his untimely death in 2007.
