I was reading that second one as a little kid wearing hand-me-downs that are maybe a size or two too large for him, one of those poor family tropes from way back. The tip-off is that all of the kids' clothes are either too large or too small. The first one you mentioned could swing either way, because when a baby brother's gotta go, he's gotta go.

As the youngest of three, in my experience, too-large hand-me-downs are worn with a belt that wraps almost completely around the body. Old timey kids may have just used a rope.

Still no word on what the future of "Wee Pals" is. However, here's something I found in the LA Times obit:

Los Angeles Times posted:

Still, he kept drawing his gently humorous "Wee Pals," a seven-day-a-week tribute to tolerance, until the end of his life. He was several months ahead when he died, Eagan said.

So, at the very least, the strip will continue uninterrupted for few more months.

So let's see... Wee Pals launched on February 15, 1965, so that's more than 49 years of strips.

Wow.

He mentioned on his Facebook page that he was also working on an illustrated autobiography. I hope he got close to being finished and that it will come out at some point.

#1 It's great that after all these years the Geezer Brigade hasn't demanded they soften up Prince Valiant like they have practically every other oldschool Newspaper strip that's still around. It's still as hardcore as ever.
#2 Singing Sword cameo!

#1 Really professional, Doc, insisting on calling your patient who's anxious about his height "Shorty"
#2 Probably a bad idea to buy your footwear from the Joker. :ohdear:

There was an outbreak of H5N1 in 2005 with both avian and human cases, many in China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. Since transmission via migratory birds had already been confirmed, there was a lot of concern about the possibility of a pandemic. I remember people wearing surgical masks that summer. Regardless, I would totally use a big hamster ball to play in my back yard if I could.
