Suffer The Little Children and other comic strip things

God Bless The Child That Got Their Own
It’s very possible that the ages of the kids in Crabgrass and Frazz has been mentioned before and I never paid attention to it, but I always figured that they were a couple years older than what was established in today’s strips. Having grandchildren currently in the 7-9 range I don’t have to try remember when their parents were that age. I would have thought Miles and Kevin were around 11 years old and the Frazzlings, who are elementarians but not necessarily all in the same grade, would more presumptuously be in the 9 to 11 age group.
Where does that leave Wallace and Spud and company who I take to be younger than all the above?
Since we mentioned Wallace the Brave…
GoComics continues in their refusal to add the title panel to the Sunday strips I have to wait until Tuesdays to see it when Will Henry posts it to his social media.
At that social media site Will Henry let us know that he is selling original Wallace the Brave art.
Bills, Bills, Bills
When Our Bill was mentioned in Legend of Bill my thoughts immediately went to an old comic strip. Truth be told it wasn’t Harry Haenigsen’s Our Bill (1939-63) I had thought of. It was an even older cartoon from World War One for which I was misremembering the title. Below is a version of what is probably the most famous cartoon panel of Bruce Bairnesfather’s Old Bill.
A Quick One (or Two)
Just a quick note to recognize that Rachel Merrill has returned to Gil Thorp art duties this week. And that Henry Barajas is much more up-to-date on the slang of the young’uns than this old man.
Waiting for Jim Keefe to show us the inspiration for Ronan’s mansion.
The 2025 NEA Christmas Strip
For the better part of 75 years Newspaper Enterprise Association distributed a Christmas themed comic strip to their clients. That stopped when Universal Press (Andrews McMeel) took over the syndicate operations from NEA in 2011. Since then some comic strip creators have taken it on themselves to continue the tradition. This year, beginning December 1, Georgia Dunn is using her Breaking Cat News to do so.
We’ll ignore that Breaking Cat News isn’t an NEA comic strip.
