So, I decided to shelve Josie, and concentrated on Willie Lumpkin. I knew I couldn't handle both strips and still keep up with the comic book work, because a syndicated bit was very risky. I brought maybe six dailies of Barney's Beat and six dailies of Josie. told me they liked them both, and they'd like to see more samples, because I didn't bring much.
