I remember this strip when it was in those things called Newspapers! Feeling my age now but love the strip! Anyone that says otherwise, you’re free to skip it. :)
It’s a nice cartoon and I tried to read it whenever I could (mainly in re-prints as neither of the Cleveland papers carried it in the late-1960s/early-1970s); but please, GoComics, don’t try to pass this off as “new”.
Wow! How great to see Emmy Lou alive and well! My family loved her. Thanks to whomever activated our good friend. I have told many people just today about her revival and they all remembered her! Looking forward to much more! Go Girl!
Wow! I wouldn’t have expected to see this show up here. I knew there was an effort to try to revive awareness of the character of Marty Links’ work. Guess this is part of it!
Actually, Marty Links was doing Emmy Lou long before the 70’s. I was a teenager in the 60’s in San Francisco, loved Emmy Lou and Marty Links lived around the corner from me.

Not a very impressive debut strip…

Emmy Lou is quite the tease.

Looks a little like a computer was used instead of being hand-drawn.

This is an old strip being revived. Doesn’t make it good or bad, just a fact.

Welcome to Emmy Lou. A few points.

I first heard about Emmy Lou on Archie’s TV Funnies in the 1970’s.

Can’t wait to see what else Emmy Lou comes up with!

Well, the strip at four-twenty-five Eastern is better than the one at seven-thirty Eastern…

Glad to see Emmy Lou back. I think this is a timeless comic and a great model for tween girls. All the best.

Welcome home Emmy Lou. It’s been a long time. You were missed.

Emmy Lou goes all the way back to 1944. It was originally called “Bobby Sox” (for the bobby-soxers phenomenon.)

I thought it was an interesting turn of phrase… if this was first posting, it wasn’t very strong, hope the following posts make me laugh.

The one for Aug. 4, 2019 is from Aug, 8, 1956. Could those be put on?
