I’m not a great writer, it’s why I post pictures, but here goes: And He Did! January 20, 1919 Created by J.C. Henderson, “And He Did!” began its run in 1913. It is the original “gently caress Around and Find Out”. I frequently change the title to “And He Died!” because, well, he dies.  Outbursts of Everett True January 25, 1919 Created in 1905 by A.D. Condo and running until 1927, “True” was one of the most popular features of its day. The WWI era strips did not go over well in this thread for good reason. Post-war, topics have returned (mostly) to pre-war themes.  Gay and Her Gang February 4, 1930 One of the “flapper girl” strips from the late 1920s, “Gay” stands out with well done word-play and excellent put-downs. Created by thread favorite Gladys Parker, the strip ended in March of 1930.  Oaky Doaks July 6, 1936 “Oaky” ran from 1935 to 1961. It’s the only comic I post with a continuing plot, and it manages to get a decent joke into almost every strip.  Mopsy September 13, 1937 Gladys Parker created Mopsy after “Gay and Her Gang” ended and it became her most successful and long-running feature. It ended in 1965.  Up Front October 17, 1944 Set in WWII, “Up Front” features infantrymen Willie and Joe and first ran in “Stars and Stripes” in 1944 before being syndicated.  Dark Laughter May 13, 1950 Ollie Harrington started this comic in 1930s African-American newspapers as a satire of Harlem society. It features lovable rascal Bootsie.  So It Seems March 19, 1952 A short-lived strip from the early 1950s.  Those Were the Days November 14, 1957 Created by Art Beeman, TWTD perfects nostalgia for a world that never existed. It ran forever.  Wee Pals March 28, 1966 Wee Pals was the first strip with multi-cultural characters to gain wide syndication and its creator Morrie Turner was one of the first African-Americans artists to appear on a mainstream comics page.  Dogbert October 18, 1966 “Dogbert” was one of Morrie Turner’s less-known strips for the Chicago Defender, set in the armed forces.

Vargo posted:I was wondering the other day if it was still new strips until the 80s or if it went into reruns at some point. Slammy, any idea? From quick searches into early 80s and late 70s strips, they’re reruns. He dates them through at least 1977, but I didn’t see any I hadn’t seen before. He’s already started repeating strips; I’m not sure if I could tell when he goes to all reruns.

Bootsie has seen a bit of action lately - About Comics has published two books, and I got 'em!  You can find them here and here. The publisher pulled them from publications, not original art, but the scans are still better than anything I can find on Newspapers.com. Content-wise, I've already posted all of the War Year strips, but not many from Big 50's. Once I find time to scan, I'm planning on posting from Big 50s, then War Years and then go back to what we haven't seen pulled from the Pittsburgh Courier. I'm open to other suggestions. Here's a quick phone photo of one from each book.   Woo hoo! And He Did!
