Dr. Mr. Dedd:
I am eleven years old. I have been reading Dead Guy since last February and I like your cartoon very much. I noticed that Dead Guy has not been in the last three cartoons and wondered where he is. My mom said to write you and ask. Will he ever come back?

Dear Bethany:
Thanks so much for your comment.
Many cartoons don't have the main character in them every single time. For instance, Dilbert isn't in every Dilbert cartoon, and Blondie isn't in every Blondie cartoon, right?. Sometimes cartoons are like people! Just because they are different doesn't mean they are bad. Just different.
Don't you worry, Bethany, dear. Dead Guy will be back soon, I promise. And remember, I'm proud to have you as a fan. Kids like you are our future! So please - stay in school and don't use drugs.
Your friend,
Ignatius Dedd
P.S. What does your mom look like?

Dear Dead Guy:
I wanted to thank you for all you've done for me over the past year. Being diagnosed with a terminal illness wasn't easy. If not for your constant calls and visits, your warm and soothing manner, and your wacky sense of humor, I don't know what I would have done.
By the way, the herbal preparations you made for me were incredibly effective. My illness is in complete remission! They taste pretty good, too.
Yours truly,
Mary Ann T.
