For 50 years, late cartoonist Steve Benson was my rival. But also a friend | Opinion
Steve Benson and I were freinds for almost half a century. He could be difficult but was entirely without guile. Looking back, I'm not sure he was aware how some of his punches landed.

Sorry, Dean Cain – of course Superman is woke, he fights injustice
