The last daily signed by Lynde was published on July 2, 1977 and the first signed by Alcala was on July 4. There is enough of a difference between the ones signed by Alcala and the ones by Lynde that I'm pretty sure the signatures are correct and Lynde for some reason got the dates mixed up in his book. Maybe he drew the last daily in May, but it was actually published in July?Andreashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253091214870531010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633621665763939304.post-12255181588277546552012-03-18T22:48:29.809-05:002012-03-18T22:48:29.809-05:00Thank you Mr. Boyd, for the good piece on Stan Lyn...Thank you Mr. Boyd, for the good piece on Stan Lynde. I always looked forward to the Rick O'Shay strip when the Tribune carried it in Chicago. The characters are wonderful, and the story lines and jokes are insightful and created with great heart. I loved to see the terrific graphics work, especially on horses, dogs, cats, human characters - Well, what wasn't drawn to the very best? Mr. Lynde knew more about the underside of a horse than most people know about the topside, and he studied it and got it in the drawings so you could feel the pull of every muscle and sinew and knew just how that animal was arching up there to toss Hipshot off into the dust. The strip was a real masterpiece in every way. I bought the "memoir" book as soon as I knew it was available, so my grandkids could know who Stan Lynde is. I hope lots more kids will.<br />Thanks again.
