The original GRASS ROOTS cartoons ran in a number of weekly papers during 1984 and 1985.  They featured ranch hands Billy and Shag, who expressed through humor, wit, and earthy wisdom the values and opinions held by "grass roots" Americans. Lynde's new, updated GRASS ROOTS cartoons not only meet his goal of expressing his readers' viewpoint, they are rich in humor, direct, and on target.  Certainly, few cartoonists hold a greater knowledge of, or feeling for, the values held by the people of western and rural America.  Lynde's legendary comic strips Rick O'Shay and Latigo have touched a special place in the hearts of readers around the world, and his recent novels The Bodacious Kid and Careless Creek continue to entertain both committed fans and new readers alike.   [ Grass Roots Updated ] [ Home ] [ Grass Roots ] [ Books ] [ Comics ] [ Goods ] [ Prints ] [ Stan's Biography ]
