Actually your mention of Heart of the City just reminded me of another strip I left off of my favs list.
Lio which is penned by HOTC's Mark Tatulli. Lio is an interesting strip in which there is little or no dialog, just the odd adventures of the titular character, an offbeat little boy with a somewhat macabre sense of humor.
The artwork and stories sort of remind me of the old Adams Family strips from back in the day, now the interesting thing is that if you compare Lio to Tatulli's other strip HOTC (A strip about a little girl living in Philadelphia, which for the most part has a vastly different tone and level of humor.), you might tend to wonder if the same person drew them.
Oh and Lynn Johnson says once she is done with FBOFW the strip will be done period, which I guess is for the best as the strip has been kind of meh for the past several years, plus lately we've been getting these weird periods where they will start re-running older strips for a couple of weeks at a time with no rhyme or reason, before going back to the fresh stuff.
