The Sunday Funnies – Late Edition
Skip to comments
Let’s start with what may be the most wonderful seasonal comic strip of the year.
Mike Manley always lets us know what season it is in Judge Parker and he does a fantastic job of it in the top two tiers today. While Francesco Marciuliano‘s sentimental, but not mauldlin, script in the lower two tiers is also more than admirable for those who have been following the story. And I, who often complain about Ces messing with those Manley Sunday title panels by adding a word balloon, appreciate the restraint shown today. Then add in the beautiful Fall coloring by Mimi Simon and we have a complete Page worthy of being placed beside the best of those Frank King Walt and Skeezix Autumn pages.
Speaking of color…
Somebody, Kieran Castaño? CoGomics crew?, left the color guide notes in today’s Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Not the first time it has happened at GoComic and probably not the last time.
