To replace ''FoxTrot'' by Bill Amend, which ended its daily run, some newspapers began the strip on January 1, 2007.〔Astor, Dave (January 2, 2007). "('Lio' and 'Pearls' Among Comics Replacing Daily 'FoxTrot' )". ''editorandpublisher.com''〕 The regular distribution began a week later, on January 8. On June 26, 2008, Stevens announced that the print run of ''Diesel Sweeties'' would end on August 10 of that year. He had produced about 600 strips specifically for the newspapers. Stevens cited exhaustion from doing a dozen strips per week, as well as the fact that the majority of his income remained tied to the website. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diesel Sweeties」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
