Now if I could only find some wondrous strips of the past. I had a couple clipped out of the paper and taped up to my computer desk once, but … anno domini and all.
Wow – something in common with Tank. Our 50th wedding anniversary is in 4 weeks. I remember seeing Tank in the sports section of many of the newspapers we subscribed to over the years in the many places we lived. (Now – no newspaper subscription so just GoComics.)
Congratulations to all of you. I’m sure that your late co-contributor is looking down from above and smiling. I’ve enjoyed this strip since its birth, and continue to enjoy it.
Any thoughts in posting some of the original strips? Johnny Dropshot chief amongst the great characters.
Let’s see…If I stated reading Tank “Norts Spews” McNamara from the beginning, and it was the same year I graduated from college, that means I must be…OMG!!! FUHGETTABOUT IT!!!
Just think, sports are even more ridiculous now than when Tank started! I have the large anthology collection plus a couple of the smaller collections.
Congratulations Bill! I started reading shortly after the strip started while I was in high school. Loved the Norts Spews and diving after any dropped object as if it were a fumble.
Happy 50th! Sadly, I can’t remember precisely how many of them I’ve been a reader. I do remember his trouble saying ‘sports news’ as a fledgeling TV anchor and the football lineman flashbacks when people dropped oblong objects…“FUMBLE”. Love SPJOY when it comes around every year. Hope it sticks around a while longer!

Happy anniversary! I’ve read and enjoyed the strip from day one. In fact, one of the reasons I signed up for GoComics was that it carried Tank.
