Sunday Comics . . . 30 Links You Won’t Want to Miss

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 12:14 pm

I've been thinking . . .
I woke up this morning with a touch of nostalgia for the days when I was a child. I grew up about 85 miles from Chicago in a town of 20,000 people. Our hometown paper came out six days a week. It had about 12 full-sized pages or maybe 20. I don’t remember.

But I remember the Sunday papers. We’d get the big ones from Chicago — The Tribune and The Sun-Times. They had a Sunday Comics Section as big as our whole newspaper and they were in color. Sunday comics were so cool!

I’d lay the papers out on the living room floor and read them while my mom cooked Sunday lunch. The only things that made it even better were Flash Gordon on TV and the invention of Silly Putty.

So in honor of Sunday Funnies and great memories I offer you these links. Enjoy!

  1. Amazing Spiderman
  2. Annie
  3. Barney Google and Snuffy Smith
  4. Beetle Bailey

    Those last two look interesting. I’m a Peanuts, Garfield, Dilbert fan among some others.

    I was never into reading the weekly spiderman strip, I’d rather get the full comic :D

    Don’t forget about the Family Circus! I use to read them diligently every Saturday in my local newspaper as a kid. The 80’s would not have been the 80’s without them. lmao!!!

    Hi Jessica!
    Thanks for adding that! I had trouble finding them for some reason the site wouldn’t open for me. Maybe it was just a momentary thing. YEA for you!

    Hi TechZ,
    Sorry you had to wait. I never liked the serious comic strips either — not enough story in the short versions for me. I like the whole book versions myself too. Superman in particular. :)

    Am I in the right place here? It looks like a country store, a local saloon . . . a place where folks gather to play cards and checkers and see what the news is around town. Well, I guess I am! And, what a juicy metaphor.

    Thanks for the comics links. We just came back from seeing Borat. If you *really* want to laugh, then you should see it.

    Best,

    Roger

    Hi Roger!
    Happy Sunday! Welcome to my metaphor. How are things cooking over at that Creative Thinking metaphor machine of yours?

    I don’t know Borat. So I can’t see it.
    You’ll have to tell me how to get there.

    You’re such a tease like that. You must be a big brother I bet. :)

    Just fine. In fact, you’ll love the offbeat metaphors I have for “life” . . . upcoming in the near future at Creative Think.

    Best wishes!

    Oh, cool! I’m a major fan of metaphors. I think in pictures and colors. I’ll be there!
