My friend, the multitalented and multi-masters-degreed Dave Kellett, is finally going independent. Some years back his wonderful webcomic Sheldon was picked up with great fanfare by United Features Syndicate. But it sat there unappreciated and unmarketed, and Dave is finally cutting the cord on November 7th. This wouldn't be a big deal except that many readers will go to the comics.com site and find it missing with no forwarding address. Pretty petty, I agree. Pass the word and look for Sheldon at its new/old address www.sheldoncomics.com.

P.S. Dave, I like eggnog and SweeTarts , so lay off
