Don’t forget to bookmark Rick Marschall’s column of reminiscing about his life in the comics industry. The weekly column has already discussed Tony Auth, Jerry Marcus, Dick Moores, John Cullen Murphy, Jack Dempsey, Al Smith, Fred Waring, and the divine Marge Devine. (And click that Yesterday’s Papers banner up top to read some fascinating John Adcock entries.)
Mo by Ann Telnaes
Don’t forget the new weekly (Mondays) Mo comic strip.
Daddy Daze by John Kovaleski

Macanudo by Liniers
Both the above comic strips will be supplanted by the newest new comic strip when Macanudo’s U. S. debut happens September 10, 2018.
A final reminder:
