Magic In A Minute Does A Disappearing Act

1 minute 5 comments

Missing from our list of 2019 Newspaper Comic Strip Departures is Mac King’s Magic in a Minute.
It has seemingly disappeared before our very eyes.

Using the GoComics site as a reference the last new strip (it IS a series of sequential panels) was April 28, 2019. They then issued reruns from May 5 to December 29, 2019 when the reruns stopped.*

MAC KING’S MAGIC IN A MINUTE
by Mac King and Bill King
July 4, 2004 – ?December 2, 2007?
?early 2008? – April 28, 2019
Sunday only
Tribune Media Services/UPS-Universal Uclick-Andrews McMeel Syndication
[reruns issued May 5, 2019 – December 29, 2019*]

About that 2007/2008 question:
My notes show the last TMS distributed strip was December 2, 2007. Then, in February 2008, Universal Press announced they would be syndicating the feature; but I don’t have a start date for that beginning.

*reruns continue into 2020; see comment below

    It was in my paper, the Santa Rosa (Calif.) Press Democrat, last Sunday. Copyright date 2008.

    Brian – still distributed by Andrews McMeel?

  3. Mark Vick

    The most recent one on Go Comics was posted December 29th, 2019, but copyrighted 2013.

  4. Brian Fies

    Yes, Andrews McMeel. It’s probably been running for a few years without interruption (don’t really remember when it started). I hadn’t noticed the old copyright dates until you pointed it out.

  5. Darryl Heine

    Maybe magician Mac King retired in 2019?
