Fun Sundry Funnies for Sunday
Skip to comments
We’ll start with a small bit of news:
Marvel Comics and King Features Syndicate are now rerunning the reruns.
Above opening panels from left to right: November 16, 2014, March 24, 2019, and July 30, 2023.
The Amazing Spider-Man comic strip is now on a four year, four month rotation. When the newspaper strip first went on hiatus in 2019 they held out a carrot saying, “We’ll be back soon with great new stories and art.” Those plans seems to have evaporated.
So The Amazing Spider-Man now joins Flash Gordon in an eternal rotation, though Jim Keefe’s Flash has a decent seven year, two month revolution. Plans to return may be why MC/KFS didn’t go deeper into the archives.
To the rest of the Sunday Color Comics Section…
Hi and Lois and family embark on a two week vacation to New York City.
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign around The Barn.
