Description

The first of three strips I bought recently created by Fran Matera for the strip "Salty", which only sold to a small syndicate and ran for less than a year (see note below).

Checking through the newspaper archives, I couldn't find that this particular strip was printed, however.

"Salty" was in fact, sold. It was syndicated by a tiny syndicate called Cartoon Factory from July 5, 1981 to March 28, 1982. It was mainly distributed to small weekly newspapers.
