"Adam@Home" Changes Announced

Kansas City, MO  (02/20/2009)  “Adam@Home” cartoonist Brian Basset is getting a helping hand from former Universal Press Syndicate cartoonist Rob Harrell of “Big Top” fame. Beginning with the Feb. 23 “Adam@ Home” comic, Harrell will take over the strip’s art and will assist in its production. Basset’s hoping the move will free up more time to dedicate to his other comic strip, “Red & Rover.”

““We’re excited that a guy as talented as Rob was available to do it,” says John Glynn, acquisitions editor at Universal Press Syndicate. “Fans may notice a slight shift in the art come Monday, but the characters will always be Brian’s.”

Basset, a Seattle resident, and Universal Press Syndicate launched "Adam" in 1984, a popular comic strip about an over-caffeinated and overwhelmed work-at-home dad. The strip eventually became “Adam@Home” to reflect the technology angle of the main character’s job.
