Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for August 18, 2024

I miss “Trombone”! But it folded even before “Look” did.

Dana in the bottom left panel looks like Lois from ‘Hi and Lois’.

My father did pen and ink for some cartoonists in the 60’s and 70’s. His name was Les Rhodes. He worked for George Crenshaw and Dick Rogers, on strips like Belvedere, Nubbin, and Johnny Wonder, and Simpkins. These history strips have brought back memories of strathmore sheets, spilled winsor newton ink, zipatone shading and syndicate mailing deadlines. My Dad was great with both brush and rapidograph pens for lettering, and used a light table a lot for tracing characters.

Concerning, “Excessive doodling of background,” I know he started earlier, but Walt Kelly maintained detailed background artwork well into the 50’s.

These “History of Working Daze” remind me of the tiny legal gobbledygook when buying something like a toaster.

I was thinking the same thing look very Beetle Bailey

What’s a “sock hop?”

Love that little robot mixer.
