Sentinel pays tribute to Frising

This week's Webb City Sentinel paid a poignant tribute to the late cartoonist Nic Frising, whose work was featured on the top half of page two for as long as I can remember.
In the spot where Mr. Frising's work was normally featured, only the small words "This space intentionally left blank" on one line, with "still in mourning" on the line underneath it.
Mr. Frising's cartoons, many of them hilarious, many of them touching, and many of them cutting right to the heart of issues that faced Webb City, have long been a major part of the success of what is undeniably the best weekly newspaper in this area.
It's not going to be the same to read the Sentinel without skipping right past page one to see what the week's cartoon was.
