December 25, 1975* — Older Strips # — Special Materials

The other day we took Lennie Peterson to the woodshed for claiming all cartoonists work like he does. A couple days later Lennie responded to our objection thru his comic strip The Big Picture.Well, this time we agree with him completely, especially with that panel where he mentions us by name.Also yesterday the WaynoBlog linked […]

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 […]

Medical Emergency Alert in Rex Morgan, M.D. Finally, after two months of no Doc Rex (since July 5, 2025), we will get the star of his eponymous comic strip back in action! Or so you would have thought. But Dr. Morgan is a no show, instead it is some anonymous attending physician who happens to […]

Our look at the recent fourth wall comics kinda sorta started 15 years ago as Petey Otterloop spent the summer of 2010 at Cartoon Camp. Those strips have been showing up in Andrews McMeel Syndication’s Cul de Sac reruns during this July (starting here on the GoComics site). But this weekend saw a few comic […]

Some quick hits about strips in today’s colored comics supplement. My mornings:It’s a vicious circle as previewed in Garfield‘s title panel with the results in Take It From the Tinkersons. “Leaving on a jet plane” “Don’t know when I’ll be back again” Some synchronicity between Judge Parker and Willy Black today. More Marciuliano… I know […]

GoComics still shuffling the deck The top tiers for some Andrews McMeel Syndication strips have returned (Adam @ Home and Big Nate) while others are still not being made whole (The Born Loser and JumpStart). I was particularly happy to see the Little Oop and Dark Side of the Horse top tiers restored as I […]

A new Sunday story in The Phantom means a new title panel by Sunday artist Jeff Weigel. A big, wonderful Prince Valiant panel by Thomas Yeates as Val and company begin their own new adventure.Current Popeye cartoonist Randy Milholland has some fun with the present status of the comic strip of new Sundays and daily […]

The opening panel of Prince Valiant took my mind to the long-gone time of black light posters. That panel would have made a great one. And maybe that is what got me thinking about the colors at Comics Kingdom, they seemed more vibrant today. Even the pastels appear to be more pastel-ly. Beetle Bailey came […]

They should change the name of this KFS Vintage feature to “Judge Crater.” Here are the missing episodes, plus a few bonus items.

And now, from the land where cigarettes never get any shorter, here are the missing Vintage Judge Parkers from Comics Kingdom:

KFS Vintage lost two weeks worth of Judge Parker strips. Fortunately, we found them!

That headline: “Potpourri” used to be a category in Jeopardy which I think was a chance to use questions that hadn’t been chosen in previous games. I haven’t seen it in a long time (hence “Art”) but, then, it’s been awhile since I’ve watched Jeopardy, which brings us to Non Sequitur (AMS) and some suppressed […]

Arlo is right. Whatever the benefits or failures of Daylight Saving Time, it sure gives people a lot of latitude for conversation, and I use the word pointedly, because the United States extends through enough latitude that, when it comes to sunlight, most of us don’t know what the rest of us are talking about.When […]
