Origins of the Sunday Comics by Peter Maresca for May 21, 2014

When I click on Zoom the left edge gets clipped. Anyone else have the same prob?

The new zoom resolution is quite promising, I look forward to seeing new material when the feature goes back online.

P.S. @ barticle35 – try maximizing the window before you zoom. You can also try opening the zoomed image in a new browser tab, or save it and view it with a different program.

Resolved: We need more Outcault. Love the Nelson Column in the back. What a talent!!

Hurry back

This higher resolution is most appreciated. I’m going back through the whole library to read the strips for the first time.

I had to google to make sure, but I didn’t know about Buster’s friend, Mary Jane, but knew there was a shoe style called Mary Janes; even though the shoe style is older than this comic, the shoes came go be associated with Buster and Mary Jane!

Odd that two of the biggest names in strip collecting— Pete Marissa and Allan Holtz from stripper’s guide— both go off the radar in he same week. Hope all is well.
