I had a huge crush on Hopey. I haven't really followed them lately but now I think I'll pick it up again. Great review and BTW, just great reviews here in general, really stellar stuff. Don't know how you find the energy, but please(!) keep at it. Thanks I avidly followed the Maggie and Hopey story back in the 80’s… I had a huge crush on Hopey.

I've corrected it. (With my usual penchant for typos, I had spelled it "Jamie".)

Nice pick. In my opinion one of the greatest cartoonists ever, his name is actually spelled “Jaime” and is indeed pronounced “Hy-me”. Nice pick.
