For the most part, I'm trying to keep strips posted on the day of the week they originally appeared, however, some strips did not start on a Monday, or the first few strips are lost or occasional strips are missing.

The Dingbat Family/The Family Upstairs()
No strip until Thursday

Baron Bean()
No strip until Wednesday

Positive Polly/Polly and Her Pals()

Gasoline Alley(August 3 and August 10, 1919)


More than 100 years later, we're still trying to stop Daylight Savings:negative:



OK, This was a Wednesday, but ran two weeks before the daily strips seem to have actually started. I also added the final edition of The Rectangle before the dailies kicked off.
The strip will generally run normal panels for Sunday but there will still be the odd Rectangle page now and then.

Regular updates will begin on Wednesday

It mostly comes out of nowhere. There are a few hints but they only really mean anything with hindsight: a throwaway line about the new fortifications taking months to build, another about a "far more important event than war [being] imminent," and in the scene where she faints she conveniently has a big shawl around her.

Finally, I'm introducing another new strip tomorrow:

[b]The Gumps[b] was a strip originally envisioned by Chicago Tribune Editor and publisher, Joseph Patterson, as a strip about the domestic lives of ordinary people. The idea was given to Sidney Smith, then known mainly for his 'Old Doc Yak' strip, who then turned it into one of the most successful strips of it's era. It was the first comic strip to be adapted to a radio sitcom, and was the first strip to kill off a character. In 1922, the strip earned Smith a 10 year million-dollar contract. In 1935, Smith signed a new, $150, 000 a year contract, and immediately died in a car crash. While it's often claimed that Smith was driving a brand new Rolls-Royce, this is only a myth. The car he was actually driving was described as a "small sedan"
The strip would continue until 1959 under Gus Edson, though would never be as popular.

The strip's name changes. There is a bit of a chronology issue though. Wikipedia says that this change occurred on August 10, but I can't find the strip for August 10 on Newspapers.com. Once again, this is a strip that really isn't consistently published in any of the ppaers I have access to until the comics page becomes a thing. I'm going to continue to use the dating on my current source for the strip, which is mostly complete until 1912, but it probably isn't going to be accurate.

Krazy and ignatz will be returning for good once we reach the August strips in my source.
