Looking at early newspaper strips both here and on Alan Holtz' invaluable blog (strippersguide.blogspot.com), I get the impression that a huge number of early strips simply repeated the same joke over and over. Miss Scoopem thinks she's found a dramatic scoop and it turns out not to be what she thought. Perhaps that's why so many strips had short runs, sometimes as little as a few weeks. One thing that drives me nuts about Miss S. (and other early strips) is that the balloons frequently read in the wrong order.
