Well one of the great things about blogs is that someone may add a comment when I make a mistake. In this case Kirby scholar Stan Taylor questioned my short lead time.<\/p>\n<p>I could not remember where I got the 1 to 2 weak lead time so I could not refer back to my source. So I reached out to Allan Holtz who has the <a href=\"http:\/\/strippersguide.blogspot.com\/\">Srippers Guide Blog<\/a>. Allan is very knowledgeable about syndication strips and his blog is a treasure full of great information.<\/p>\n<p>Allan&#8217;s response was that that daily strips are typically done 4 to 6 weeks ahead and Sundays 8 to 12. He added that these lead times hold every since the 20&#8217;s and 30&#8217;s. His qualification on these times was that if the strip was produced by contract lead times may be even longer.<\/p>\n<p>I plan to make a corrections to some of my posts, but not tonight. I want to do some scanning for my next post as well to have more time to think things over.<\/p>\n<p>So my thanks to both Stan Taylor for pointing out my error and Allan Holtz for giving me more reliable data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent post of mine, Early Jack Kirby, Chapter 5, Timely and the Red Raven I used a one to two week lead time (the time between when a strip is created and when it actually is published) as part of a calculation of when Jack Kirby started at Timely.
