Chanita-

Thanks for taking the time to write. If seeing Baby Blues on a regular basis
is important to you, take another minute to write the features editor of your
newspaper and ask that she put Baby Blues in her comics lineup. You might be
surprised how much influence you have! Every little bit helps.

We have shown Wanda breast-feeding since the strip started 7 1/2 years ago,
with lots of support from readers. I like the idea that it's just a normal
part of the characters' lives and not the subject of a joke every time.
