Barney & Clyde by Gene Weingarten; Dan Weingarten & David Clark for July 11, 2021

I took Grandpa for more of a Krazy Kat and Yellow Kid fan, but there is much I don’t know about the workings of the Comicsverse.

Wonder what L’il Abner thinks about that?

I’ve never seen a Roadrunner strip.

Last, but definitely NOT least, and lingering in grampa’s imagination, Daisy!

A lot of those were my favs too.

Very daring, Grandpa!

The “Gilchrist” Aunt Fritzi was my “go-to” gal…

Don’t forget Blondie as well…..

You can tell it’s meant to be an older fan’s recollection because these days Andy Capp no longer smokes. (At least he still gets drunk, so the Kingdom still stands.)

And there, my friends, is why the proper name for that style of shorts is “Daisy Maes” – not “Daisy Dukes”; they were Daisy Maes decades before that moronic show was ever thought of.

He remembers Pastis?? How long has Pearls been going?

Pearls Before Swine is the only one of those I still read, because it’s the only one I still find funny.

No ref to Marmaduke? : )

Based on that last panel, it wouldn’t surprise me if Grandpa is also fond of the great old cartoons from Playboy.

Where is Dick Tracy, Smokey Stover, Pogo, etc.??

Three of them I didn’t recognize. What is the last one? Andy Capp I already knew as a child decades ago (Willi Wacker in German).
