“Comic strips have found a presence online, but they are not the form of public expression -- right under your nose, unavoidable, day after day -- the way they were.”
-- from Cartoon County (My Father and His Friends in the Golden Age of Make-Believe) by Cullen Murphy, page 228

@dogtrax I was a paperboy.I got the Sunday 'funny pages' on Thursday along with other sections.We would pre-stuff those so that all we had to do on Sunday was one more 'stuff'. I felt like I was in a time machine, reading what was embargoed for everyone else. Comic strips meant a lot to me along with the editorial page and the sports page. I read two newspapers a day because I delivered two of them a day. And comics were at their heart. That's everyday literacy. How to do that now? #smallstories
