I used to read the comics every Sunday with my Dad. I liked |Beetle Bailey”; but I hadn’t remembered that the same artist did ‘Hi and Lois’.
(I always remember Trixie in the Sunbeam, when I see my cats seeking out same...)
Hi and Lois was a joint effort of Mort Walker, (Beetle Baily) and Dik Browne (Hagar the Horrible). They started the comic in 1954. I read once they did everything on a handshake and never had a written contract between themselves.
.
I am sure they had contracts with others.
Beetle Bailey is Lois’s brother. I saw a crossover when Better was visiting Hi and Lois..and the kids said when will uncle beetle get here...
