Rose's love-note-writing husband Jimbo never disappoints as the always hopelessly hopeful romantic. The creation of Pat Brady and Don Wimmer, this <I>Rose is Rose</I> collection features more than 40 weeks of Gumbo family high jinks. <P>After two decades of sketching every <I>Rose is Rose</I> strip himself, Brady shifted the writing and drawing duties to Don Wimmer.
