A selection of 4th of July comics strips from 2025 and 1925.

Starting out with… Proof of Publishment The twice weekly Olive & Popeye comic strip has been around since 2022, but now there is proof that it is being published in at least one newspaper via the King Features Weekly Service (KFWS). The Sidney (Nebraska) Sun-Telegraph comics page for their March 6, 2025 issue shows the […]

Breaking Cat People NewsTaking a break from breaking cat news is Breaking Cat News getting into breaking people news this week. People news involves those in control of our lives and governments, and Georgia Dunn goes there: Georgia leads off the comments by telling her readers why: For folks not loving a strip touching on […]
