Big Top’s Rob Harrell Set to Return

CBS News has a nice feature up related to last evening's broadcast story on the cartoonist Rob Harrell using fill-ins on his Big Top strip as he recovers from cancer-related surgery. I have to admit I've heard a few thoughts from fans noting things like the short length of time Harrell has been gone and questioning the purity of the publicity angle here, which can't be the effect they were going for. I disagree, I actually think it's a nice story, and strips like Harrell's that are not exactly dominating in terms of national saturation really can't afford short breaks for whatever reason. Editor and Publisher has Harrell returning Wednesday; since the above is from Tom Wilson, Jr. I think they mean next Wednesday.
