These were the good old days when comics were a joy. In those days most of the kids and adults used to wait for the weekend news paper to read their favourite comics such as Terry And The Pirates, Dick Tracy, Tarzan, Smilin Jack. Li'l Abner and many many others. The last time that I was buying weekend newspapers for the funnies was 1973 . I even stopped buying comic books after the 1990's due to the new art that was being introduced. Thanks for listing Terry And The Pirates , one of my favourites.

Glad you are enjoying them. Newspapers were one of the first recycled items. People would pile them up then take them to be recycled. That is how I got to read the funnies. Whenever I would go to my dads I would go through the pile and start reading. I was surprised at how interesting a little strip called Dondi was. It was a pleasure to get to meet Irwin Hasen a few years ago at Heroes Con.

Irwin was one of my teachers at the Kubert School.  He regularly worked on the Dondi strip in the classroom.  I remember once he let one of my classmates, Rex Lindsey, assist him on one of the Sunday strips doing some mechanical backgrounds.  Rex eventually went on to work for Archie where he has been the last three decades.
