Hi Rod. Back in 1985, I was the circulation manager for the Eureka Springs Northwest Arkansas Journal. The editor gave me the weekly TV section to edit. This was 4 pages long. The actual information was 3 1/2 pages, which left a half of a page to fill up. I asked my editor if we could insert some old comic strips, like Felix, or The Phantom, or something that was in the Public Domain. She said that if I wanted a comic strip, I would have to draw it myself. I went back to my desk and conceived the idea for Duck Tracy (the original name, which I changed to avoid an obvious lawsuit), and his Crimestopper Tips. These were little Home Security Tips that I had learned from one of my Martial Arts instructors, and an idea that I had discussed with Bill Bailer, a couple of years before. Duck Trazy and His Crimestopper Tips was published until Sept. of 1986 by the Eureka Springs and North Arkansas Journal, and then for 3 or 4 issues of The Arkansas Traveler. Duck Trazy ( as he was now known) appeared in 2 Graphic Novels, Duck Trazy Goes To Big Mountain, having the Detective Duck go out to the 4 corners area of Arizona, and becoming involved in Amerindian rights, and Duck Trazy In The Lost City, where the Man-Hunting Mallard goes down to the Rainforest in search of a killer. In 1989, the Duck made his last appearance for Native Americans For a Clean Environment, in a 8 page digest sized comicbook for the Oklahoma School District, called Duck Trazy and his Dump-Busters Save The Environment, teaching kids to recycle.
Thank you so much for the update and your marvelous dedication to goodness!!
