Crock
His father, Bill Rechin, drew Crock for King Features Syndicate for decades. After his father's death in May 2011, Kevin took over the drawing of Crock with scripting by his brother-in-law, Bob Morgan. Rechin works from his Falls Church, Virginia studio which he shares with cartoonist Nick Galifianakis (If You Loved Me, You’d Think This Was Cute), creator of the pit bull character Zuzu. In May 2012, he announced his intention to stop drawing the strip, with the last one to appear on May 20 of that year, the day before the first anniversary of his father's death.
