The new artist, Don Wimmer, is doing a great job keeping up the comic strip. "Rose is Rose" is an upbeat, positive comic with an emphasis on healthy family relationships and the gentle humor of everyday life. This is a refreshing strip in a world of sarcasm and put-down humor, and will always leave

you feeling good about yourself. This collection features Jimbo and Rose(and her alter-ego Vicki the Biker Chick), their son Pasquale (and his guardian angel), the cat Peekabo, selfish cousin Clem, and the usual gang of friends and neighbors.
