Oh it's not a career, just a hobby. I would never imagine I could make any money this way. Thank you for the advice!

As a hobby you should just do whatever the hell you like. It's all learning. And if it's not learning, it should at least be fun. I understand the instinct -- I used to write for $$$ in my 20s but now I'm much happier hobbying it for no one in particular.
That said, would also love to see a page!
Also - never read any Toth. Is there a good place to start Ward?

Chuck, apologies, I only just saw your question about Toth
His best work is spread amongst a number of different publishers, so unfortunately there isn't one obvious place to start.
If you have the money, the three 'Genius' volumes put out by IDW collect together lots of his best artwork, much of it shot from the original pages, and does includes some complete stories. IDW have also just brought out a lovely collection of 'Bravo For Adventure', the strip that was probably closest to Toth's heart, and which represents the longest single narrative he ever drew.
A cheaper option is the recent hardcover collection of all Toth's strips for Warren, which gives a good idea of his range and ability, though the stories are on the whole fairly dopey. The first page of 'The Monument' in this volume might be my favourite splash page of all time:
