I rather like the breathless continuity narration of Ella Cinders. It's adorably archaic, like the strip is reading itself to you. Reminds me of things like Fiorello LaGuardia reading the comics over the radio, though I'm not sure how many times he hollered "WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT!!" on the air. The updates about Blackie are really intriguing because I remember Frank King did that for ages in Gasoline Alley during a storyline where Skeezix was kidnapped. Someone spotted the kid in Louisiana and Alabama! Police report false lead in Indiana! I think it adds something neat to the serial format and most likely drew in kids, too. I'm just not sure when the Gasoline Alley storyline ran so I don't know which strip predated which here, or if they were both working after someone else.

Old School Peanuts (Feb 1, 1952) Apparently what he's listening to isn't a song but a children's poem by Eugene Field called "The Sugar Plum Tree" written in the late 1800s. I haven't been able to find a song version the strip might be referring to but if it was part of a collection of kid's music that was popular for a hot minute it could just be lost to time. Anyways the joke is that Charlie Brown is being an art snob about a nursery rhyme.  Calvin and Hobbes (Feb 27-28, 1988)   Robbie and Bobby (Jul 15, 2016)   (Sep 6, 2020)

If you enjoy the Conan strips, I HIGHLY recommend the Dark Horse series. Came out uh well, Volume 3, which contains the Elephant Tower story, came out in 2006. I currently have 10 volumes. I haven't picked one up in a long time, I should see where they are at now.    I took some lovely iPhone pictures of a few pages that we've seen in the strips, to show off the Elephant Person art. This last one, I will spoiler, even though it's just the splash page of the end of the story:

I'm just not sure when the Gasoline Alley storyline ran so I don't know which strip predated which here, or if they were both working after someone else. I like the Ella Cinders version of this a lot better, because interesting stuff is also happening on-panel--as I recall, most of the actual strips during that Gasoline Alley storyline were "Walt paces around saying 'gosh I sure hope Skeezix is okay, where could he be'", for several weeks.
