I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 2 works by him have been used here (4 times total, including a prior repeat of it in the September 3, 2014, strip, and this Throwback Thursday repeat), the February 8, 2012, strip being its first use. GoComics has deactivated the hyperlinks and removed the new lines in my comments at those 2 strips; but, perhaps the text remains informative. The May 25, 2021, strip has the other by him, so far.
