STRIP CARTOONS
Diamond Lil is a feisty 75-year-old widow living in Turkey Knuckle, Indiana, who doesn't suffer fools, or anyone else for that matter, gladly. Her interests include telling people what she really thinks, hot bingo and cold Schlitz. She also has a thing for Pat Sajak's butt.
Ralph Hagen launched The Barn in 2008. It follows the daily adventures and mishaps of a curious sheep named Rory and a sarcastic bull named Stan. The storylines mimic the everyday experiences of their human keepers.
Set on a farm, next door to a veterinary clinic, Stan and Rory usually spend time with the owner and vet, Brenda.
Ralph’s work has appeared in outlets such as Reader’s Digest, Saturday Evening Post and Woman's World. He dedicates The Barn to his biggest fan, his father.
"The longest running daily cartoon strip by a single author is "Bristow" by Frank Dickens (UK) which has been in continuous publication since first published in the Aberdeen Press & Journal on 18th September 1961".
