A Comic Strip Side Salad
Skip to comments
Yesterday’s comic strip roundup got cut short as I had an “Appointment With Danger Dinner.”
Let’s continue with the news that… Terry Beatty has returned to drawing Rex Morgan, The Daily Bugle has dropped its Comics Section, and Andrews McMeel has stopped syndicating Ginger Meggs to newspapers.
Terry Beatty is Back!
Terry Beatty has returned to full cartooning duties on the Rex Morgan M.D. comic strip. A couple months ago Terry stepped away from drawing the strip for four weeks after having heart surgery, he continued writing the strip during that time. Hat tip to Mimi Simon for filling in admirably.
The Daily Bugle Drops Comics Section
Disney has nearly decimated, Disney has denied that amount of downsizing, Marvel Entertainment staff resulting in hundreds of people being laid off, it has affected Marvel Comics personnel.
Freelance cartoonist Ty Templeton‘s editor was one let go which will probably affect one of his projects.
Marvel Editor Devin Lewis was the person who requested the lion’s share of the Daily Bugle strips for Marvel projects, and is a recent victim of Disney/Marvel’s across-the-board layoffs. There’s a few more strips that are finished, but yet unpublished, that will eventually show up here, but the series is likely cancelled [emphasis added] as of now. Thanks Devin! It was grand fun!

AMS Drops Ginger Meggs from Print Syndication
Ginger Meggs has been in reruns status for almost three years now. Recently (sometime this month) Andrews McMeel Syndication dropped the strip from their print syndication list, it remains on their digital roster.
I don’t know if the recent rerun Ginger Meggs ever appeared in a U.S. newspaper.
