It’s a Comic Strip Sunday for Comics Lovers

As Rex Morgan M.D. above shows it’s a good day to read The Funnies. The comics section Rex is reading carries what looks to be one of the many Blondie knock-offs that showed up over the years. And the purple of the other strip makes me think Terry Beatty had an itch to draw an old assignment.

Yes, as Mike mentioned, it is one fine day to page through the Sunday Funnies.

went all out in his Rabbits Against Magic,
