As examples:

Blondie (which began in 1930) is still running. Little Orphan Annie (which began in 1924) is still running. Snuffy freakin’ Smith (which began in 1919) is still running. GASOLINE ALLEY (which began in 1918) IS STILL RUNNING!

They’re like the undead…they do not rest easy in the grave…
