A little more than a month ago (in this posting), we said that there would soon be an announcement that Get Smart will get the full, entire-series-on-DVD treatment. Sure enough, it has now been confirmed that they're coming out in 2006.
In the Sad News Department: We mentioned back here that Cartoonist PROfiles, the magazine that has covered the world of comic strips for more than 35 years, might be nearing its end. This was due to the failing health of its editor, Jud Hurd, and now Editor and Publisher is reporting that Mr. Hurd died September 14. The cause of death is given as pneumonia, his age is given as 92, and the article says there will be no more issues of his magazine. I never met Hurd but as a subscriber since his first issue, I feel a great sense of loss.
