My longtime pal Gordon Kent is writing gags for the new Pink Panther newspaper strip being offered by Universal Press Syndicate. Here's a link to a page that's hawking it to potential buyers. There, you'll be able to see a number of samples and you'll see that it seems like a clever, funny strip so far. This is probably because Gordon is clever and Gordon is funny. When he isn't doing things like that, he's directing or producing some of the better animated shows for TV. The guy's certainly come a long way from those humiliating days when a so-called "friend" conned him into coloring the first Groo story and didn't pay him one red cent. Lately, he's done a number of shows for Disney where they pay better…though not by much.
