Coming soon to a newspaper near you!

Hie thee over to Facebook for the latest info on the June 7 launch in The Washington Post. The new strip, written by Gene and his son Dan, drawn by Virginian David Clark (not to be confused with Dave Clark of the Dave Clark Five), debuts on June 7. The strip is about the unlikely and accidental friendship between billionaire pharmaceutical magnate Barney and self-described bum Clyde. (Hobos send your angry comments to Gene.) It is presently scheduled to appear in The Post, but is being syndicated by the Post Writers Group. As yet there is NO iPhone app to send the strip directly to your phone so that you can avoid buying a newspaper.
