Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for August 11, 2020

you don’t say, Sergio

Best idea I’ve heard for a long time. Most of the stuff on most front pages is comical these days.

What’s “the paper”? Last I heard there was a shortage.

About time. Start the day off happy.

Since the turn of the century, Sergio.

In 1939, during a newspaper strike in New York City, Mayor La Guardia read the daily comics on the radio so children wouldn’t miss out on story lines.

Finally. I skip the newspapers anyhow. They only encourage arson, looting, murder, …

The bad news is, one of the comics is Joey Alison Sayers’ version of Alley Oop, causing circulation to drop 99 percent!

I finally unsubscribed. I’d long decried having to search among the ads for ‘news’ content but when it finally got so skinny there wasn’t enough there to wrap a fish, I gave it up.

I love the Baldo strip, but papi is looking at the BACK page of the paper.

Glad I’d found GoComics to be able to read my favorite comics, as our “daily rag” took comics out a couple years ago. Now, like so many other local papers, their looking at just closing their doors, as the internet, etc. has done them in !

Lately the local ‘newspaper’ misses the comics and we have to hope they catch up on the morrow. They don’t always do it.

No they’re not. They never will.

Wow! Which paper is doing that?! I wanna subscribe!

It’s about time!

I read the news first, then come here to GoComics to feel better.

That’s actually just the news about congress.

Yes. Once upon a time the newspapers mentioned their names and named them as villains.

Sergio, those are the presidential candidates.

For years, that was the only part I read anyway.

The Rest of it contained just too much evidence that “Idiocracy” has already happened.

Newspaper comics outside of Sunday are usually still in black and white, not that they REALLY “stink”.

When my dad (and mom) was a boy in the 1930s in NYC there was a newspaper strike. Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia would go on the radio and read – not the news, he knew what was important – the “funny pages”. Dad always talked about sitting with his brothers to listen to him read.
