Favorite No Longer Published Comic Strips

What are some of your favorites. I mean ones not published for at least 10 years or more. (not Calvin & Hobbes)

I recall one about a secretary called “Lolly”." It’d just crack me up.

Bloom County

Ditto on Bloom County.

Well, since you disqualified Calvin & Hobbes, Bloom County.

Krazy Kat
Little Nemo in Slumberland


Up, up and away!

I’ll have to go with Bloom County as well, or does The Far Side make the cut?


See those stars over there? That is the Little Dipper. I’d show you the Big Dipper, but my zipper is stuck.

I’m breaking the rules because I have only two answers, and they’re both within the last 10 years: Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side. Bloom County is a distant third for me.

There is no freakin’ reason to even read the comics anymore. sigh


I used to think the world was against me. Now I know better: Some of the smaller countries are neutral.

Laura’s Stuff and Things

sigh…so many teeny boppers, so few Pogo fans.

And no mention of Al Capp? Heresy!

Friday the 13th comes on a Thursday this month.

You mean Andy Capp?
See the previous thread on him, do a search.

Bloom County.

::sigh::


Some drink at the fountain of knowledge…others just gargle.

Gotta be Bloom County. And I agree with Ruffian, now that Charles Schultz is hanging up his pen, there’s no more joy in comic-ville.

I’m with you, JBENZ. Sigh. Walt Kelly and Al Capp… giants in the field, and much missed.

Kitchen Sink Press is reprinting Li’l Abner dailies, there are around 25 volumes out now, approx one year to a volume. And Eclipse Press is reprinting Pogo dailies, they’re on volume 9 or so, but only about six months to a volume.

Um, possible, I suppose, but one (well, this one) assumes he means just what he said, Al Capp, creator of Li’l Abner.

Whether Li’l Abner is worth mention is another debate, but let’s at least make sure we’re all talking the same strip.


Eschew Obfuscation

Opus and Bill I long for ye.

Aack.


You are now leaving a “Smiley-free zone”!

I go Pogo.

Early 1980’s Bloom County. Remember when the main characters were people? Eventually it was nothing but animals… :frowning:

It is too clear, and so it is hard to see.

Buck Nix.

King Aroo.

Barnaby.

Alley Oop.

Hey, CKDexHavn! Isn’t Kitchen Sink Press out of business now? They managed to get Abner up to about 1961 before they folded.

Is anyone else going to take over the L’il Abner project? I was really looking forward to getting up to Capp’s Great Political Conversion, plus the advent of miniskirts.

I vote for Will Eisner’s “The Spirit.”
Incidentally, Ukelele Ike, Alley Oop is still in print; at least it was a couple of weeks ago. I saw the strip in one of our local newspapers, The Bloomfield (Ind.) Evening World. I think only a few papers carry Alley Oop, though.

Okay, let’s say I want to go back to the good ol’ days of 1940s ALLEY OOP, when he was goofing around with the time machine!

See the reprint volumes that Kitchen Sink did a couple years back.

Bloom County all the way!

I miss Steve Dallas’s exploits!
Far Side too if that not to recent!

Lack of charisma can be fatal

Bloom County and The Far Side.

Too bad about your rules - I miss Calvin and Hobbes and I’m saying Calvin and Hobbes!
