Soup to Nutz celebrates ten years in syndication
Rick Stromoski is celebrating 10 years in syndication with his comic strip Soup to Nutz.
Soup to Nutz features a family that is a far cry from the Cleavers, the Waltons or the Bradys. But you’ll undoubtedly recognize them anyway. Most likely, they’re a lot like the family you grew up in … where the battle for the last chicken leg is comparable to the Battle of Bull Run, sibling rivalry is an understatement, and family values usually refers to a coupon book.
The strip stars hard-working Roy Nutz, his loving wife Pat, and their battling brood – sons Roy-boy and Andrew, daughter Babs and rambunctious dog Rosco.
Thinking up storylines involving hilarious family antics and fighting siblings aren’t much of a stretch for Stromoski, who, as the seventh of 12 children, only needs to draw on his own upbringing for inspiration.
Regarding the anniversary, Rick says:
For the past decade, I have been fortunate to be able to do what I love…to draw silly pictures of my childhood while sitting at home in my underpants, eating donuts

Congratulations Rick! As a reader I have enjoyed your comic immensely. I think my all time favorite is one that came out this past December, just before Christmas. Andrew is praying for a pony. On Christmas morning, he only gets a stuffed pony, but he is ecstatic! The true spirit of Christmas. Heres to another ten years.

Soup to Nutz is ten years old? Wow … I wonder how old that makes the gags?

Little known fact: Rick draws the comic strip in his underpants, which is how he came about its name, Soup to Nuts.
Congrats on 10 years, Rick!

I guess that explains where Terri Libenson’s strip got its name.
