In this Nov. 9, 2012, photo, Rick O'Shay and Hipshot comic strip created by Helena resident Stan Lynde are shown in Helena, Mont. Lynde died of cancer in Montana. He was 81. His “Rick O’Shay” comic strip began in 1958 and ran for 20 years with an average daily readership of about 15 million people. In 1979, he launched another comic strip, “Latigo,” which ran through 1983. Lynde died Tuesday in Helena. He is survived by his wife, Lynda, and eight children. More here.

DFO: I was editor of the Kalispell Daily Inter Lake in 1979 when I met Stan during a tour of state newspapers to promote his new comic strip, "Latigo."

Question: Did you ever follow Stan Lynde's Rick O'Shay or Latigo characters?
