Shirley Slesinger Lasswell, R.I.P.

I never met Shirley Slesinger Lasswell but I followed her legal battle with Disney closely. I'm not entirely sure who was right in this matter but I admire the courage and tenacity to take on The Mouse and his battery of attorneys. I also have a certain fondness for her late hubby, Fred Lasswell, who gave us the Snuffy Smith comic strip for several centuries. "Uncle Fred" was that rarest of creatures — a cartoonist who was as colorful and unreal as the characters he drew. So I figure his wife had to be a great lady. You can read all about Shirley here.
