November 16, 2007: Curator Dr. Caswell signed a letter
saying Jenny is now part of the library's
permanent collection.
It's exciting for me and a milestone of sorts in military-themed comic strips. "Jenny" is the first - and, so
far, ONLY - comic strip about the life of a military spouse.
The storylines follow spouses, both female and male, who are constantly keeping
things together while their mates are often deployed to the Middle East. These
storylines chronicle not only my life but those of my friends and family.
The uniqueness of the strip is what caught Dr. Caswell's eye. I'm honored more than I can say and hope to
keep the collection full of original sketches and tear sheets for years to
come.

It
also helps, I'm sure, that the strip is consistently intelligent and real.
Worth saving in its own right for that, not just because of the subject matter.
Kudos!
