\nI came across Trots and Bonnie<\/cite> again a few weeks back through the interview with Shary Flenniken The Comics Journal<\/cite> did years ago. What struck me was the artwork, which looked as if it should’ve been published alongside Windsor McKay’s and George Herriman’s in some early twentieth century newspaper’s Sunday edition. Even in this golden age of comics reprints there are strips that have fallen through the cracks: no commercial interest, difficulties getting the rights together, too obscure, too difficult to get the original sources for the art together etc, or there just isn’t anybody interested and dedicated enough to overcome these things. Trots and Bonnie<\/cite> is one such comic, for which these problems should be relatively easy to overcome. It’s the last great uncollected underground comic.\n<\/p>\n

\nEarlier this month Shary Flenniken did an interview for Jeff Kay, who’d emailed her a list of questions expecting to at most get a mail back<\/a>; instead he got a four part Youtube video:<\/p>\n

\nPart one: general introduction:\n<\/p>\n
