1. You used to have your work on Old Red's Web Shop. Why did you move?

Both sites needed room for expansion, and the easiest and most inexpensive way was to divide the content up, since Old Red's is a retail shop, and was only hosting the site and not selling the art of the Brothers Waltrip. The same person monitors and upgrades both, and there is no rivalry or disagreement between Old Red's and this site.



2. Are the Waltrips brothers?

Yes, they are twins.



3. Why did the Waltrips stop work on the Robotech: Sentinels comics?

It was not by choice. In 1996, when they learned that Academy had lost the rights to publish Robotech comics to Antarctic Press (AP), they attempted to contact AP at many different times over the next year without answer. It was only when fans online began to exert their feelings about wanting the Waltrips to finish the series that Ben Dunn contacted them.



4. Do the Waltrips want to finish the Sentinels series?

Yes, and they have always said so whenever anyone asked. Rumors that they were not interested were either misinformation or lies.



5. So will the Waltrips finish the Sentinels series?

At present (5/98), it does not look hopeful. Ben Dunn sent the Waltrips a contract. After looking it over, the Waltrips opted for trying to negotiate the contract towards similar levels of compensation that they had under Eternity and Academy. This revised contract was then sent to AP, which returned it with few changes. At this point, negotiations stalled. If you are interested in seeing the Waltrips finish the Sentinels series, e-mail Ben Dunn and tell him so. AOL users should also post messages regarding this to the Robotech message board. We thank each one of you for this! Do you have any other questions? Then send them to Waltrips@yahoo.com!
