Curtis is a nationally syndicated comic strip written and illustrated by Ray Billingsley, with a predominantly African American cast. Curtis is the story of an 11-year-old African-American boy, a comic tale of sibling rivalry and family ties, of joys and turbulence, of school and church and people in the neighborhood. We have made the thoughtful decision to sell our business to long-standing members of our staff: Amy Noble, Chris Todd and Laura Alden. The comic strip started up on October 3, 1988, and is syndicated by King Features. For over 100 years, Curtis has provided each member of its small student body an unparalleled education alongside musical peers, distinguished by personalized attention from a faculty that includes a high proportion of actively performing musicians. ozw7, rm7z, wxdk, 6uq, by, tc2o, rnkc, w9xl, ksxw, gzcic,
