Launch Date Announced đ The brand-new GoComics will be unveiled April 1! (No fooling). See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
stel olâ bel, what you canât see from those old âfunny papersâ you posted is the incredible size of them in comparison to todayâs papers.( modern papers are only 2/3 the size)they retained those huge sizes right into the seventies ,when after that, they gradually, little by little; so subtly that it wasnât readily apparent, they shrunk to the size of todayâs itty bitty flyers they call newspapers. I admit that the crisp and clear color photography is one excellent product of our times, though.
When I was a kid I looked forward each week to buying the New York daily News Sunday paper. the paper itself was a graphic tabloid of dubious content, but the funnies were page after page of wonderful adventures in riotous color laid out in a format that was like the tabloids of today which didnât require the paper to be folded in half. After finishing the comics, I would move on to the magazine section that always had a wonderfully drawn caricature of some famous person.
My father used to tell everyone that I learned to read by sitting on his lap and reading the NY Daily news and the Boston Record-American with him, and I do remember that!
Good morning kids. Itâs another hot and dry one today...I like the way Betty thinks. I bet if the electricity went out she could still ring orders AND give change..StelBel I think that is a little dragon? I think the green triangle over the first blue stripe is a wing?.No fireworks for us this year. It is soooo dry around here, they have fire hazard/danger flashing on all the road signs. Many municipalities have cancelled their firework displays this year. I hope they still do the downtown ones on the riverfront. SIGHâŠ..
its late but iâm back. mom had problems. (therefore,so did i.)i got a new tv. (the one in my room died.)i found the green critter on an oriental site. (i think its a sleeping dragon.)my dishwasher died. (well, it is as old as the house.)my back door seems to be falling apart. (umâŠyea. sh**.)

Stel I also liked the frog/toad picture yesterday.
JP Steve Premium Member over 12 years ago
I think noicantâs picture is a Y2K Bug! Giving us a wink and a âthumbs-up.â
When I was growing up we got both Vancouver newspapers. I got two full-sized Sunday comics each week!
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 12 years ago
Hey Hold on Stel I said baby dinosaur!
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 12 years ago
Stel wish I was doing that about now. Of course, I canât swim, so maybe thatâs not a good idea!
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 12 years ago
Stel LOL! Is that the same cat at the bottom of the slide? He looks SO DIFFERENT! LOL!
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 12 years ago
You Snoopy and Barney & Clyde fans need to check out todayâs âBarney & Clydeâ! Itâs a GOOD one!
GROG Premium Member over 12 years ago
Thanks, Fellow Baby. I am not familiar with that strip, but it was well worth the look.
