Hi and Lois and Dick and Mary

Friday Family Feast. 

In my folders I had two months of early Hi and Lois dailies. And noew they are here. I like this early period, when Hi and Lois both had their own world and gags. A bit like The Dick van Dyke Show.

Grumpy Swampy

Thusday Camp Swampy Day. 

Over the years I have shared many many many Beetle Bailey Sundays and dalies. And even so, I have not scratched the surface. I certainly have plenty more to clean and add. Usually when I start cleaned a couple of my scans, I start with the oldest. Which is why I probably have more of those on this blog than anything else. Still, in the sprit of balance, for once I decided to start at the other end. The latest one I have were from the eighties. The style had simplified by then. And some of the more exstreme jokes seem to have been left out more often. But still, it holds up very well. 

 

Funny Soldier Guy

Tuesday Random Day. 

I promised more posts, so here is another post. Some early Beetle Baileys, from when he still had a friend that was a llot like him. I think the wider version of the last gag was from some paper that anted to have more strips to a page. The extra art seems added on.

All Around The family

Saturday Leftover Day 

Just like last week, here are some prime leftovers from Mort Walker and his associates. I have said it before, but all of the Mort Walker produced strips from the 1956-1962 period are the best they ever produced. A very nice mix of the family and the outside world to keep the sentimental gags in balance.
