Dammit Mark, I was gonna say Six D*cks, but I censored myself! Shouldn’t have done that.

I think including Mort may have soured it for you. I mean, come on! He hasn’t won a Reuben since, what, ’87? Geesh!

Damn straight, Tom. I’m pitching it to King. We’ll call it Six Slobs. Who is with me?

Benita is great–nice pick-up! But when will King add some gender diversity to its cartoonist line-up and feature a group of male cartoonists (Seven Brethren, anyone)? The male cartoonist is woefully underrepresented on the comics page.
