If anyone wants to hunt down the Sunday strip for 8/8/76 it might be a good one. Probably not, but it might be.

There's a dude who already does that in the CK comments

Has the Shaturday Morning Cartoon youtube series ever been mentioned here? It has a horrible title, but is of relevance to the thread. It’s a series from The Found Footage Festival where they watch old Saturday-morning cartoons. They frequently have Caitlin McGurk on as a guest—she’s an archivist and faculty member at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum at Ohio State University, which is the premiere US archive of newspaper comic strips.

She often brings archival materials of interest. Here’s an episode with the Garfield Halloween Special, with the Garfield parts removed because of a copyright strike from Jim Davis. At about 19 minutes in, Caitlin McGurk shares archival photos of weird and surreal stuff from the Ireland archives. Some of it is Garfield-specific, like Jim Davis wearing a ponytail, but much is not:

The Garfield poo poo really shows how nakedly commercial the whole thing has been since the start.

There’s also The Man Who Hated Laughter, a 70s primetime special featuring all the King Features syndicate characters in a mash-up story. If you’ve ever wanted to see Mandrake and the Phantom rescue Beetle Bailey, this is for you:

There’s some more excellent archival stuff from the Ireland museum in this one as well.

Wassa's too smart for his own good though, the prize of the siege is being being left open while he's taking his personal men-at-arms away from the spoils

His strategy would've made sense if Val weren't abandoning the city but were bringing in supplies or reinforcements

Shut up, Pesky.

Christian Dior's "New Look" was the hot thing in spring 1948. The style was based on tight-fitting jackets, narrow waists, and long, full skirts, like Abretha is wearing here. As Messick observes, it must have been unpopular with Art Beeman and other gam fans.

And over two hundred grandchildren, according to a previous strip.

Please pay no mind to the implication as to the effects of a population of human-sized creatures growing hundred-fold in numbers over two generations would have on ecology, society, politics, and pretty much everything else.
