Ardis, where are you getting these and can an original be purchased? My brother in law is a comic book nut and not a member of the church. I think it would be a hoot to give him a copy if one could still be found.
I scanned them from photocopies of newspapers — that accounts for the low quality. They were published in the Church News on a weekly basis.
Derrill Dalby, the son of the artist, has done a professional job of reproducing his father’s strips and has put them on a CD — you can contact him at:
He and I have explored a little the possibility of publishing these strips in a formal way, with some scholarly introduction. The publishers I’ve contacted are not at all interested in distributing the CD, but might be willing to consider a paper issue. A little interest like yours might help them recognize that there is a market.
