| kenneth g - My wife and I felt the need to express our deep appreciation for the service we have received both in mail order and in person at conventions these past six years in doing business with you ! You have been very fair in pricing the art and even cutting your prices lower for the sale . I have tried to deal the OTHER DEALERS with really overblown prices for their art, but you and your staff have held your Integrity all these years and made collecting original art affordable to the working class . Both Diana and I thank you and your staff ! Looking forward to doing business with you many more years to come ! Kenneth & Diana G. |

But in the late 1960s, when there once again was a soldier or a sailor in most families, King Features Syndicate started looking into something new, to tap into the popularity of its Beetle Bailey. Ketcham had proved his own drawing power with Dennis, so they decided on a revival of his diminutive sailor, dubbing him Half Hitch. The new version began as a daily and Sunday on Monday, February 16, 1970. Tho Ketcham's name went on it, this incarnation was written by Bob Saylor and drawn by Dick Hodgins, using a Ketchamesque style.
