EBarnacle... ...Thanks for goading me on, but I must point out that Al Capp's daily strips were not in colour, and that he was merely the leader of a team of seven guys (artists and gag-writers)! Much of the best art in strip was done by Frank Frazetta. And... ...he was getting paid! (Even Johnny Hart of BC fame had six gag writers.)

BTW - I've often posted links to my films, but since they contain music, they've been above the line. I hereby take the liberty to add this link, in case any below-the-liners have missed some.
