Thanks for posting! My hardcover source material had pretty much turned into a smelly folder with a bunch of loose papers in it. I’m glad you appreciate the republication. Working with rarer, more obscure material is very fulfilling for me but since it is so obscure to begin with there aren’t many people letting me know what they think about the books.

Thank you very much for taking the time to post and for the bibliography information. I’ll keep that on the change list if I release an updated edition, which is a possibility now that you mentioned the newspaper-only strips. I may see if I can track a bunch down and put the book out as an Extended Edition instead.

It sounds like you already have an original copy you could scan but if you need any 300dpi images from the book just let me know. I do minor touch-ups on the panels to remove any paper textures or blemishes that show up. When you do the sculpture feel free to shoot me over a photo (preferably 300dpi) and some bio info for yourself and I’ll include it at the back of an Extended Edition if I do wind up releasing one.

Thanks again!
Adam

I just received your edition of George Lichty’s Grin and Bear It. I thought the book was going to be a compilation of strips only seen in the newspapers, but, instead, it was a reprint of the 1956 book. I was chagrinned for about 15 seconds, but accepted it as a tighter copy of my precious hardcover 1956 edition. And I won’t have any worries about photocopying the Senator Snort strips as reference for a planned sculpture of that august statesman.
There was also a Scholastic Book Services volume of Grin and Bear It which was published in 1968, if you want to add that to the George Lichty bibliography.
Thank you for bringing Grin and Bear It into the 21st century.
Cheers,
Matt
