Glad to hear people are liking King Aroo! it's one of my longtime favorites too, and I've never been able to understand why it's not more widely known.

Man but would I like to hear the husband's thoughts in this Mary Worth storyline.
I actually think he doesn't mind having the ol' busybody around. She takes care of the kid and pays her own way while he and the wife get to gently caress around like wild animals.

Is Brooke still even published in papers? Last I heard he was published in just one in Houston.

Halfway through that year long arc about grandma loving a Nazi a Seattle paper dropped him and said in a statement that both of his fans can continue to follow the arc online. That was a pretty good dis.

Surely there are enough goons in enough cities to test this.

I'll start. These are the strips that currently appear in the Comics section of the weekday WaPo print edition. (I don't subscribe, but I bought one for this. Yay me.):

Classic Doonesbury; Pickles; Red and Rover; Agnes; Frank and Ernest; Wumo; Classic Peanuts; Mike du Jour; Rhymes with Orange; Mark Trail; Lio; Mother Goose and Grimm; Hagar the Horrible; Baldo; Blondie; Sally Forth; Sherman's Lagoon; Curtis; Brewster Rockit: Space Guy!; Mutts; Zits; Dilbert; Judge Parker; Frazz; Candorville; Garfield; Barney and Clyde; Dustin; The Amazing Spiderman; Prickly City; Loose Parts; Non Sequitur; Baby Blues; Big Nate; On the Fastrack; Beetle Bailey; Pearls before Swine; Speed Bump; Dennis the Menace; Famiily Circus; Reply All Lite

I'd find it interesting to see what other papers run in their print editions.

The comics I post go in date order, so “Gay and Her Gang” (1930) fits in after Everett True (1914), but before Fritzi Ritz (1938).

I wonder who the first one was directed at, if anyone in particular. I bet it might have been easier back then to rip off comics between one city and another.

The second one is kind of disturbing. Dreams of the Huffing Fiend.

Yeah its been in the Sun forever for some reason. The Sun papers are the Canadian trash tabloids, but the two things they always had were a better sports and comics section. The Sunday Sun used to have this huge comics pullout. Obviously as a kid I thought 9CL was boring and incomprehensible but this was before Brooke slipped into full delusional I think; basically I thought it was bad but had no idea how bad.

Basically, given how tabloid the Sun is I'm surprised it's run for so long there. There must be an audience for it, given how I've heard what can happen when papers pull awful but long-running comics...

Mind you, I rarely read the Sun (or even the "respectable" Herald anymore) so I'm just assuming the Universal site isn't lying.

For someone who is going to spend their life fighting crime until they get brutally murdered in their late 30s, like every Phantom before him, you'd think he'd be less interest in spending half a decade in a monastery hidden in the arse of the world and more interested in say, using his mother's UN credentials and father's Jungle Patrol influence to finagle a place in Quantico learning world leading crime fighting techniques.
