Late Morning Trivia! [Comic Strip Style]
One of the casualties of Newspaper's demise is the death of the Comic Strip. As a youth I would only read the sports and comics in our local newspaper. (Hey I did that as an adult also!). I tended to like the funny's type of strip rather than the ongoing story line version. So, If you were like me, You've seen these comic strips a million times. Ah, but do you remember who their creators are? It was on every one of those comic strips. So for a Ding, let us know the creator of these iconic comic strips. Comic Strip 1 Beatle Bailey 2 Bloom County 3 Calvin & Hobbs 4 Dick Tracy 5 Doonesbury 6 Far Side 7 Garfield 8 L'll Abner 9 Peanuts 10 POGO

Walt Kelly- Pogo
We used to have a TSL poster here that was big into Pogo. I loved Pogo. Bill Watterson totally ripped off Kelly for Calvin & Hobbes, but it was okay because Calvin and Hobbes was so good.

How could you leave out Snuffy Smith?!
Being from WV I could particulary relate to Snuffy. (I kid.) Like you as a kid that's what I went for (particularly in the Sunday papers, cartoons were in color). ** Edited by MikeVT85 at 12/22/2025, 9:52:23 AM
