Sally Forth Comic

When Sally Forth first appeared on the comics pages, not many newspaper readers suspected its creator was a man (and they certainly never suspected creator Greg Howard was a lawyer-turned-cartoonist).<br />Over the years, Sally Forth has made a consistent impressive growth in popularity. Why? Because its every working mothers story! And because, as one reader wrote to her newspaper, its about a nuclear family whose trials and tribulations my husband and I repeatedly could relate to. We enjoyed sharing many strips with our children since we felt the strips depicted values we hope to instill in them. The National Womens Political Caucus presented Howard with its Good Guy Award for his sensitive and humorous portrayal of the conflicts and victories that touch the lives of working women. As one newspaper editor said, Its one of our top strips in every age bracket. Its amazing. Our readers have a real personal attachment to Sally.
