Times-Tribune poll put Blondie as top comic strip

1 minute 12 comments

According to E&P, “Blondie” is the top comic feature in the Times-Tribune (Scranton, PA).

Finishing second through fifth were four other comics that have been around for decades. They included “Peanuts” reruns by the late Charles M. Schulz of United Media (which began syndicating the comic in 1950), “The Family Circus” by Bil and Jeff Keane of King (1960), “Beetle Bailey” by Mort Walker of King (1950), and “Hi and Lois” by Brian Walker, Greg Walker, and Chance Browne of King (1954).

“Mary Worth” finished last among the Scranton newspaper’s 36 comics.

  5. I did a quick search through their online newspaper looking for the article that E&P cites and couldn’t find it. If anyone can point me to the original story – I certainly would like to examine the findings. These comics aren’t usually the ones that bubble to the top of other comic polls I’ve seen.
