  1. Weird, but I still remember the very first strip of Wizard. In the long-defunct Toronto Telegram. It was basically a cast list, each of the major characters with a brief note below – no gag. I was only 7 at the time, and it was the first time I’d seen a comic strip from the start, so I guess it left an impact.
