She's got a cartoon in today's paper so I'm saying that she appears to be a regular again. She's a lot better than some cartoonists they have run lately.

Green Archer Comics' new Kickstarter - Rudolph Fisher's The Conjure-Man Dies
Rudolph Fisher's The Conjure-Man Dies
The Conjure-Man is dead. Detective Perry Dart & Dr. John Archer must solve the case in this seminal work from the Harlem Renaissance!
Rudolph Fisher's The Conjure-Man Dies is considered to be the first story written by an African American author, featuring a black Detective and and all-black cast. It is a brilliant work of fiction that manages to be funny and reflective of 1930s Harlem while still being an amazing mystery.
With the help of writer and industry veteran David Mariotte and the art of the amazing Darren Soto , combined with colors from DJ Chavis, we are bringing this important work back in comic book form! This is a 36-page full color comic with an art-style that is reminiscent of the Harlem Renaissance and we've collected an amazing team to tell this important story, including covers from Keith Williams and Shawn Martinbrough, Georges Jeanty and Afua Richardson.
We also have several tiers that include the original The Conjure-Man Dies book. The book is a 1932 novel by Rudolph Fisher. It is a groundbreaking Harlem Renaissance mystery. When N'Gana Frimbo, a Harvard-educated African "conjure-man" (fortune teller), is found murdered in 1930s Harlem, Detective Perry Dart and Dr. John Archer investigate a puzzling, twist-filled case.
We did our best to capture the feeling of the Harlem Renaissance in our art as you can see from these sample pages.
