I’m still working on revising my collections on Amazon. I should have the Kindle versions done this week.

Although I posted this story a couple years ago, Kaare asked for it, so here it is again.

 A couple weeks ago Core L asked about a couple strips. Core, is you name spelled Core or Kaare? Core (or )Kaare lives in Switzerland via Denmark.  About the strip you asked about Sid and the income tax, I found this Sunday. I’m not sure it’s the one you wanted. I have most of the strips cataloged, but there’s over eleven thousand strips to go through. Here’s a Sunday where Sid mentions his income tax. And I think the daily strip is the one you wanted to see, even though it’s not Ernie and Doris, but Enos and Frau Pork. You asked for the prairie dog strip, and I’ll start the entire two week story tomorrow.

By the way, I’ve finally finished the Ernie Sunday Brunch – The Early Years book. The Sunday strip I posted today is in it with 171 others. I’ve made three versions. The Collector’s edition and Collector’s hard bound edition are more expensive, but on heavy quality glossy paper. The colors are very good. I’m sorry they cost so much. Can’t help it. $16 – $28 – $35. For each one I get about $1.50. Jeff Bezos gets the rest. Hey, he needs it. They should be available sometime this week. Now I’m working on the Kindle versions. Should be out this week. And guess what! Only five bucks!

Thanks for your comments, and yes, Maynard Krebs made that show! In case you don’t know it was the Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. Dobie was played by Dwayne Hickman, and Bob Denver, later of Gilligan fame, played the teenage beatnik, Maynard. Whenever anybody said the wortd “work” Maynard would flinch. Tuesday Weld was also in the cast.
