Sunday Comics

One of my favorite comics in the Sunday Papers growing up was Rick O'Shay. The weekday strips were funny, but the Sunday ones were even more special because they were pretty artistic.

So anyway I recently found a book at the local library that mostly daily strips for 1958 and had a few Sunday strips. So here are a couple of those to share. The really really good ones were lovely panoramic views that looked like a Montana mountain scene in full color. These scanned images don't really do them justice. In the first one (in case you can't read it which you probably can't) Rick O'Shay tells a friend that he was surprised to see him at church because he hadn't known that he was a Christian. The other man says that he's sorry to hear that because if he's know him for ten years and couldn't tell "Then I must be doing it wrong!"

In the other one Hip Shot (Rick O'Shay's best friend) is talking to a friend whose girlfriend has gone on a trip to France and wrote about the wonderful panoramas that she's seeing. He says he'd like to see a panorama too. The last panel that he's saying that in shows a glorious panarama of the mountains.
