Comic Stripping Recent Funnies
Skip to comments
Or maybe some not-so-recent funnies.
Liô, where we grabbed our feature image from, is in reruns this week but the Friday panel brings back memories … of something.
Of Course! Liô grows up to be Charles Addams’ Uncle Fester:
As long as we are celebrating the past…
Dan Schkade celebrates Flash Gordon‘s debut in a small way this past week
and Randy Milholland reminds us today of another first appearance coming up.
Randy is continuing the public domain story in Popeye and does a good copy of the first appearance.
Randy’s next turn on Olive & Popeye comes up on January 16, one day before the anniversary of Popeye premiering on January 17, 1929. Wonder if it will be a special strip?
Tarzan was not just a rerun but the dailies this week were stuck in time. Below are screenshots from GoComics Tarzan for the dates January 6 to January 11, 2025:
Alternating between half page and tabloid formats and black and white and color with no black the strip was consistent by running the Spanish version throughout, even the Alley Oop at the end.
We will all get to see it again, supposedly in color with the black lines and in English because it is strip #3561 which should run next Sunday following today’s #3560.
Also stuck in time:
Rex Morgan, M.D. and Garfield ran “wallpaper” strips this weekend.
Check engine synchronicity.
Pickles and Pluggers follow each other on my GoComics feed making for no breathing room twixt the similarities of their Wednesday gags.
Where’s Waldo Seagull Search.
Seem’s Wallace the Brave‘s little brother is concerned about someone. (I had to go back and look.)
And today the strip featured Sterling Origin Story #0112.
Talking heads.
Francesco Marciuliano and Tony DePaul set up an action filled week for artist Mike Manley to draw the weekday adventures of, respectively, Judge Parker and The Phantom.
Yeah, explain that Pardon My Planet to the kiddies.
Mrs. Olsen in Frazz and The Waitress (does she have a name?) in Non Sequitur seem at odds today.
We’ll let Zuckerberg sort it out, that’s why he gets the big bucks.
Pretty good timing for both cartoonists considering their lead times.
David Reddick, who we know from Intelligent Life, Legend of Bill, Blondie, and more gets to exercise his inking chops over the pencils of The King on the cover of the current issue of the Jack Kirby Collector.
The issue, on sale now, highlights (some of) the comic strip career of Jack Kirby.
