The Publisher of Open-Apple/A2-Central (Tom Weishaar) is still the
copyright holder, and it was he who authorized me to distribute the back
issues on CD (see http://users.foxvalley.net/~joko).

However, that copyright extends to the text only, as the cartoons were
drawn by Rich Tennant, who actually syndicated those cartoons to any
publication that paid for them. That said, I've always wondered if those
great cartoons ever appeared in other publications.

In any case, www.google.com reveals that Rich Tennant now has his own web
site, and you can contact him via e-mail at:

Hope that helps.
