A wonderful surprise - I

© Field Enterprises, Inc. ---------------------- I received an emotive e-mail from an unknown fan of mine. He told me about his childhood: a sick boy, long time in bed... His unique joy: to read comics; and my comics ("Eden" and "Flip") in a special way. He demonstrated to know ABSOLUTELY all about my work. He asked for an original daily strip ("Eden"); those strips I drew 30 years ago. Of course, I said YES. I'm a collector of original artwork from another artists and I can understand him. Before I sent my original strip to him, he susprised me by sending several original and UNBELIEVABLE artwork. Here is a sample: An original daily strip (the successful series THE BERRYS) signed by CARL GRUBERT in 1959. A jewel, indeed! :-)

Wow Armando, thats cool. It is nice to have a history with such neat friends and a story to tell as well from someone as talented as you who has also admired you all these years. This is why I love teaching others what I know. It makes me feel good when they create something that pleases themselves. ~Hugs~
