Check out the one for Nov 27th and work your way back.
Not much on the visual but the head trip seems worth the visit.

Liberty Meadows was how Frank Cho got his start in the comic world. He began it back in college for the school newspaper and was called University2 (University Squared). It then got picked up as a syndicated strip after he graduated. It ended a few years ago when he got his first big comic contract at Image.

He dumped all us faithful LM fans like week's ham sandwich when he hit the "big time".
>:(

Brandy is still his most beautiful creation. Her roommate Jen is close second.

Thanks for the history lesson, and I do not mean that in a bad way. THANKS!!!

To be fair to Frank, one of the primary reasons that he dropped the daily strip is the frustration that nearly all cartoonists deal with– ham-handed editorial control.  His Sunday strips were often hacked to bits to fit the cartoon inserts in many Sunday editions, and he often had to tone down, change, or even drop entire strips due to editorial objections.  When the opportunity came to do more mainstream comic book work, with the attendant freedom that comes with it, he made a decision that was pretty easy to understand.

I remembered when that happened.

But still now he seems to be doing quite fine.

But he continued the strip in a collected comic book form, published by Image Comics, after he quit doing it as a daily. He restored all the censored strips, then kept going beyond where the daily ended.

No reason he had to quit doing that.
