I still miss Lil Abner and Dick Tracy
I kind of liked Lil Abner, even as a kid I appreciated the way he drew his females!
I was more of a “Terry and The Pirates” than a “Dick Tracy” kind of kid myself!
AndI did like “Peanuts”. We had six kids in my family, and I think my parents saw it as a good investment to buy a lot of the big books with them, which we all enjoyed and took turns with.
Peanuts was interesting too. It wasn’t until years later I appreciated fully the adult themes addressed, and I do believe reading those cartoons was just another brick in the foundation to setting us up to be adults, though we didn’t know it.
I miss Snuffy Smith, Prince Valiant and Lil Abner. When Calvin and Hobbes ceased being printed I quit reading the comics.
