I enjoyed Frank Cho's Liberty Meadows when it was in the newspaper. About ten years ago, he decided to pull out of newspapers because his strip was regularly censored. I suspect yesterday's strip would have only been seen by comics editors. Most of the censored strips were more subtle. I'll have a Liberty Meadows series on my tv/comics day soon.
His debut in the DC area was huge, because he was obviously talented, he was young, and he was a local boy.
The strip takes place at the Liberty Meadows animal sanctuary. The man in today's strip is a Mark Trail animal lover type character who just showed up for this brief series. The, um, costume was just there for the humourous effect. As I recall, I just about fell off my chair at this one. Your mileage may vary, but please click to enlarge ~ his artwork is wonderful. Sometimes, instead of a Sunday gag, he'd just draw Brandy, the woman in today's strip.
