old comic strips

[Bootlegger]

  How many old comic strips do you remember?  Dick Tracy and such..

[FLOYD CARTER]

Not so keen on printed comics.  Am watching the many TV episodes of Lone Ranger, 1948-1957

[Carl Cisneros]

There was Dick Tracy, Lil Abner,  Beetle Bailey, Hagar, Pogo, Peanuts.

These are the ones that come to mind.

Add Allie Oop and Dagwood & Blondie plus Orphan Annie.

I think my all time favorite, while it hasn't been gone that long, was Bloom County. I remember seeing Pogo when I was very young, but I wasn't old enough to appreciate it.

I have a bunch of War comics. I'd have to dig them up for the publisher and years.

Smiling Jack, Captain Midnight, Steve Canyon, Buck Rogers, Terry and the Pirates.

         Flash Gordon by Mac Raboy,Tarzan, The Phantom and Brick Bradford and the time Top. I love the old comic strips and books.

I remember my least favorite ever was "Nancy." Maybe it was "Nancy and Sluggo." It was like a train wreck, I just had to read it every Sunday, on the slim chance that one day it would be funny. I think I remember twice in my life I actually laughed.

[Mike Scholtes]

The Katzenjammer ("yowling of cats" auf Deutsche) Kids, Krazy Kat, Prince Valliant, Our Boarding House with Major Hoople, lots of others that give away my age.

[kenneth cook]

         While not as old as some of the others mentioned, prehistoric B.C. was a favorite of mine . Grog was pretty funny. Ken

[Jim Carter]

"Maggie and Jiggs"!  (I may have messed up the spelling but I think the strip name was "Bringing Up Father") Oh yea!  Beetle Bailey!!

[dale gleason]

"Harumph!  Fap!  Egad!"      "Insect!!"  "Got in Himmel!"

Child of the 50s...sibs came in the late 50 early 60s
Army dependents
oldest of 5
We all had different comic book tastes
We all spent every dime of our "allowance" on comic books in the base Exchange every month
By  the 1970s, we each had COMPLETE collections of every DC or Marvel story line, we followed, stuff like "Betty and Veronica", or Archie, or Iron man, Superman/Hulk

On one move, we were over weight...MOM pitched the entire collections.... DOOH!!!

Bloom County was interesting to me ---But eventually my conservative mind set saw the liberal bias and I came to not like it any more

Curious/Funny to me considering how MUCH really disgusting things appear NOW in TV advertising==== THAT SOME early cartoons are considered too violent or racial to air any more....

Marvin the Martian was a fav


Phred...but not "the Gook"

[Dwayne]

Beetle Bailey

[Bill Morell]

Sad Sack

[Tony Drago]

[FLOYD CARTER]

"Pogo" wasn't really a "comic".  Walt Kelly explored mostly human philosophy, as told by Pogo and his friends from the Okefenokee Swamp.  Adult reading for sure.

Huh!???

I remember most of them, but my all time favorite was in MAN, Conrad Conrod. That guy was a hoot and most of us could relate to his antics in this hobby.

OK, if we get to the model magazines, Conrad was good and well thought out.  Then, there was Fixit Wright and Tailskid and Tailskid's sister - Bunny.

It was not a "comic strip", but a single frame cartoon.  I often wondered what kind of mind it took to come up with the stuff that appeared for several years (80 thru 94) in "The Far Side" by Gary Larson.

Gary Larson is a hero of mine. He has an incredibly sick mind! Sad to see him retire, but I can understand the creative pressure being too much, long term. 

I think my favorite in the current Sunday comics is "Red & Rover". "Sherman's Lagoon" is another, sicker, more like Larson's stuff.  Steve

[john e. holliday]

Well it has been years since I have seen the Sunday funnies let alone the daily comics of the local newspapers.   While I was still employed I use to scan the funnies in the break room.

Larson was a classmate of mine in HS.  Curtis HS in University Place, WA.  NBA superstar Isaiah Thomas was also an alum.
As a sophomore, I remember getting our butts handed to us by one guy from Tacoma's Mt. Tahoma HS during a non-league track meet.  Name was Bobby Moore.  Went on to play D1 football at Oregon (running back) then played many years in the NFL.  He changed his name when he went pro.  Muslim name.
Ahmad Rashad ring a bell?

[Will Hinton]

Larson had some incredibly thought provoking stuff, I agree to it being too early for him to retire from the Far Side.
My current fav is Zits.  The guy must have a teenager in the house at all times to come up with all those great gags!  So true to life.  (And a great artist.)
